Explanation

In cricket, an 'over' consists of six legal deliveries bowled by a single bowler from one end. When the umpire calls 'over', the bowler has completed their six balls, and play continues from the opposite end. It does not mean a batsman is out, nor is it a call for discussion or end of day's play.
