Off-spin is a type of bowling in cricket where the bowler delivers the ball with a spin that turns from the off side to the leg side for a right-handed batsman. This spin is achieved by gripping the ball with the index and middle fingers, while the thumb rests lightly on the seam. Off-spin bowlers aim to deceive batsmen by making the ball turn sharply after pitching. The primary goal of an off-spin bowler is to induce mistakes from the batsman, leading to dismissals such as bowled, caught, or leg before wicket (LBW). Famous off-spin bowlers include Muttiah Muralitharan and Shane Warne, who have made significant impacts in the game with their unique spinning techniques.
