off-spin bowlers
Off-spin bowlers are cricket players who deliver the ball with a spin that turns from the off side to the leg side for a right-handed batsman. They use their fingers to impart spin, making the ball grip the pitch and change direction after bouncing. This technique can deceive batsmen, leading to mistakes and potential dismissals.
Typically, off-spin bowlers aim to create a variety of deliveries, including the doosra, which spins the opposite way. They often target the stumps or the edges of the bat, seeking to induce catches or bowled dismissals. Their role is crucial in controlling the game and taking wickets.
