Q&A for How to Bowl the Leg Spinner's Variations

Your body should face sideways, and only your face should face the batsman. It will help you to get more amount of spin.

Look the batsmen in the eye and don't be afraid of getting hit, because leg spin is the more attacking spin, and even if you do get hit, remember that you are one step ahead and make use of the variations. Watch someone like Rashid Khan to see leg spin at its finest.

Play regularly and go for walks/runs. Be physical for more time than you already are. Set an increased goal every week and work towards it. Reward yourself once it is completed or motivate yourself to reach the goal next time if you couldn't do it this time.

Your hand should be upside-down when bowling a googly, and facing the batsman.

You should keep your ball like a leg break, but release a bit faster. You should practice this regularly.

You must drop your front shoulder and remember to spin from the back of your hand.

To bowl a carrom ball, you must hold the ball with your middle or index finger and thumb. Release the ball with these two fingers.

You have to be precise. Use the backward in unison with the batsface and googly and press the bar above your head.

Leg spin is a wrist spin. In a wrist spin, the major role of spinning the ball is performed by the wrist.

Yes. It is very simple. Hold the ball as in the example and throw the ball like a top spinner.

Try to start off as if you were bowling a googly in a practice match but instead of a googly, do a leg-break ball that spins a lot. In other words, bowl how you would bowl a googly but don't tilt your wrist 180 degrees aim for about 162 degrees.

Yes, when throwing, do it slowly.It might become a flight leg break. If you throw fast, it will skid more but you may end up throwing more short bowls.

Bowl slowly and and give more spin to the ball (the ball will drift more during wind).

In the same way as you, do it with a cricket ball and practise gripping the ball properly.

Reverse swing is not bowled by bowler, it's automatically reverse swinging after 80 overs in test cricket.

Start by getting your grip right. That helps you in getting turning deliveries. For an off break, gripping the ball between your index and the middle fingers would help. For reference, check out Ravindra Jadeja's grip on the ball. The same grip must be used. For a leg break, it needs a lot of practice and skill. It will take time and a lot of patience. First, build a strong wrist. That will be effective in cocking and uncocking. And most importantly, try to pitch the ball on the line as near as possible to the batsman.

Instead of squeezing, try a click the fingers motion just as you release it.

Aim towards middle to off stump line as it will spin to off side. It would then be most likely to get caught behind by keeper or first sleep. The batsman advances to attack often because of the spin, it misses the ball, resulting in a stumping. Use variations too, do fast bowls or try off break.
