legbreak
Wrist-spun cricket pitch
A legbreak is a cricket delivery that spins from the leg side to the off side when bowled by a right-handed bowler to a right-handed batsman—that is, it curves away from the batsman after pitching.
The bowler who specializes in this delivery is a leg-spinner.
Legbreaks are notoriously difficult to master but can deceive batsmen expecting straight flight.
