Best Answer

Off side is the right hand side of the right hand batsman and the left hand side of a left handed batsman. Or, it is the side which the batsman will be most comfortable playing shots.

The other side is called the on side or the leg side. Runs can be made on either side and there are players who are strong in making runs in both sides are specialists in either side. For Ex. Saurav Ganguly the former Indian captain was considered one of the best off side players in the history of the game
