Do I need to wear a thigh guard when batting in cricket?

Yes. A thigh guard is strongly recommended for all batting cricketers. An unprotected thigh hit by a short-pitched delivery can cause serious bruising. Thigh guards are lightweight and take seconds to put on. For right-handed batters, the inner guard goes on the right thigh and outer on the left.

What is an inner and outer thigh guard in cricket?

An inner thigh guard protects the leg closest to the bowler (right thigh for right-handed batters). An outer thigh guard protects the outside of the leading thigh. Most serious club cricketers wear both for complete protection.
