Who invented teesra?

The teesra is a delivery in cricket bowled (very rarely, if ever) by an off spinner. The aim of the delivery is to deceive the batsmen so that doesn't spin as much as they (the batter) anticipated, and to hurry on quickly to the stumps. The ball backspins as to deceive the batsmen of the pace, only to then quickly hurry on into the batsmen's line to attempt an LBW or a Bowled.

This was best used best by the accredited creator, Saqlain Mushtaq (a high quality Pakistani spinner).

Although Mushtaq brought the delivery back into speculation in the modern game, there's a high chance that it was invented by one of the very first cricketers, and Saqlain reinvented it. Whoever made it, it certainly works. It astounds batsmen with its varying movement in the pitch and a leg break bowlers action working in an off spinner.
