Dear Baba
It is for reduction of impact force.According to Newton’s 2nd law Rate of change of momentum = Force applied. If time period dt is increased than Impact force decreases. Therefore while catching cricketer lowers his hands to increase time interval of change in momentum thereby impact force reduces.
