leg glance

A leg glance in cricket is a type of shot where the batter intentionally hits the ball with the side of their foot or leg, usually to help the ball gently pass on the leg side of the field. It often occurs when a ball is directed outside off-stump, and the batter uses their timing and footwork to guide the ball strategically rather than forcefully hitting it. This shot requires good control and awareness to place the ball safely and can be effective against certain deliveries, helping the batter score runs or defend their wicket efficiently.
