Can a retired-hurt cricket batter return and affect my runs bet?

Direct answer

Yes. Under cricket rules, a batter retired hurt because of injury or illness may resume when a wicket falls or another batter retires; later runs are added to the official innings. Bet settlement follows the player-runs market terms.
