off-spin technique
Off-spin is a bowling technique in cricket where the bowler imparts spin on the ball so that it turns from right to left (from the bowler's perspective) after bouncing on the pitch. The bowler uses their fingers to rotate the ball, primarily releasing it with a spinning action that causes deviation. This style is typically used by right-handed bowlers to deceive the batter, making it challenging to predict the ball's movement. Off-spin offers both accuracy and variation, making it a strategic choice to limit the batter’s scoring opportunities and create wickets.
