Binocular is used in every cricket match for the purpose of zooming.
Because, binoculars are a pair of mirror symmetrical telescopes that allow a user to view distant objects using both eyes. To allow both eyes to view distant objects symmetrically, the binoculars require two separate telescopes, one for each eye, held together in the device called binoculars allowing binocular vision. The telescopes are mounted symmetrically side-by-side and aligned to point accurately in the same direction, providing the user with undistorted vision of distant objects. Unlike a monocular (telescope) which only makes use of one telescope to view objects, binoculars are able to provide the user with three-dimensional viewing of distant objects, whilst promoting visual clarity and acuity.
