Spin bowling is a style of cricket bowling where the bowler imparts spin to the ball using their fingers, causing it to rotate as it travels towards the batsman. This spin makes the ball curve in the air or turn sharply off the pitch, making it harder for the batsman to hit accurately. There are two main types of spin bowlers: off-spinners, who spin the ball from off to leg, and leg-spinners, who do the opposite. Successful spin bowlers rely on variations and deception to outsmart batsmen and take wickets.
