doosra

The doosra is a cricket bowling technique used by off-spin bowlers to deceive the batsman. Unlike a traditional off-spin delivery that spins into the batsman, the doosra is delivered with a wrist and finger action that causes it to spin away from the batsman, often confusing their judgment. This deceptive ball is particularly effective in challenging a batsman's ability to judge spin, making it a strategic weapon in a bowler’s arsenal. The doosra requires skill and precise control, and it’s often employed to take wickets or restrict scoring.
