# CricketShotClassification Dataset

## Dataset Description

This dataset is designed for video classification of cricket shots. It contains labeled videos of ten different cricket shots, making it suitable for training and evaluating machine learning models for cricket action recognition.


## Dataset Structure

The dataset contains videos of ten cricket shots:

| Shot Name      | Label      | Class ID |
|---------------|------------|-----------|
| Cover Drive   | cover      | 0        |
| Defense Shot  | defense    | 1        |
| Flick Shot    | flick      | 2        |
| Hook Shot     | hook       | 3        |
| Late Cut      | late_cut   | 4        |
| Lofted Drive  | lofted     | 5        |
| Pull Shot     | pull       | 6        |
| Square Cut    | square_cut | 7        |
| Straight Drive| straight   | 8        |
| Sweep Shot    | sweep      | 9        |

### Data Splits
- Train: 1,250 samples (125 per class)
- Validation: 250 samples (25 per class)
- Test: 250 samples (25 per class)

## Usage

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

# Load the dataset from the hub
dataset = load_dataset("rokmr/cricketshot")

# Access different splits
train_data = dataset['train']
val_data = dataset['validation']
test_data = dataset['test']

```

## Limitations and Bias

- Limited sample size per class
- May not cover all possible variations of each shot
- Lighting and camera angle variations may affect model performance
