According to Newton's law, we can write  :

                                                 F\ =\ ma

or                                              F\ =\ m\frac{dv}{dt}

Thus                                         F\ \propto \frac{dv}{dt}

It can be seen from the equation that if we increase the impact time then the experienced force will be lesser.

So a cricketer increases the impact time by taking his hands backwards while holding a catch, resulting in less force on their hand.
