A left-handed batsman is a cricket player who bats with their left hand as the dominant hand. This means they hold the bat with their left hand at the bottom and their right hand at the top. Left-handed batsmen can create different angles and shots compared to right-handed batsmen, which can be advantageous in a game. In cricket, left-handed batsmen often face different bowling strategies, as bowlers may need to adjust their line and length. Famous left-handed batsmen include Brian Lara, Sachin Tendulkar, and David Warner, each known for their unique batting styles and contributions to the sport.
