leg spin

Leg spin is a type of bowling in cricket where the bowler imparts spin to the ball, causing it to spin from the leg side to the off side of a right-handed batsman. This is achieved by wrist action, with the bowler turning their wrist inward upon release. The goal is to deceive the batsman with unpredictable movement, mix of bounce, and spin, making it difficult to predict or hit accurately. Leg spinners often use variations like googlies or top-spinners to enhance their effectiveness and create more challenging deliveries for the batter.
