I believe the answer is:

tip-and-run

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'cricket game' is the definition.
'tip and run' can be an answer for 'game' (I've seen this before). I'm unsure of the 'cricket' bit.

'pundit ran amok' is the wordplay.
'amok' indicates anagramming the letters.
'pundit'+'ran'='punditran'
'punditran' is an anagram of 'TIP-AND-RUN'.

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for tip-and-run that I've seen is " Informal game of cricket".)
