The doosra is a delivery bowled by an off spinner which turns the opposite direction to an off spin ball. Pakistan's Saqlain Mushtaq introduced it to cricket, but Muttiah Muralitharan has mastered it. Click on the 'Doosra' link on this page to learn more about its technique and history.

It is spelt Doosra and it is where an off-spinner bowls a ball that spins the other way than they normally spin it. It can be reffered to as a wrong-un for a leg spinner.
