Note
The plural belongs to the noun uses, not to the bare number. Eleven players make one side, so two cricket or football teams are two elevens. School cricket ranks its sides as a first eleven, a second eleven and so on, and together these are the school's elevens. The figure itself can also be counted, as when several elevens (11s) turn up in a column of digits.
