Off Break
An "Off Break" is a type of delivery in the game of cricket bowled by a right-arm spinner. It spins from the off side to the leg side, deceiving the batsman by turning away from them. This delivery is effective in creating opportunities for dismissals, as it can lead to edges or mis-hits.
The off break is achieved by the bowler using a specific grip and wrist action. The bowler releases the ball with a flick of the wrist, causing it to spin off the pitch. Mastering the off break is essential for spinners like Shane Warne and Muttiah Muralitharan, who have used it to great effect in their careers.
