Switch-hit definition
Switch-hit means a modern cricket shot in cricket. In this case, the batsman suddenly “changes” the “grip after the ball is bowled” making “a right-hander [turn] into a left-hander and also the other way around” (Adhikari, n.d.). In the sense of morphology, the hyphenated compound comprises two free morphemes: switch (verb) and hit (verb). The compound is also used as a verb and occasionally as a noun.
