Doosra means second one or other one in Urdu. It is comparatively a new type of delivery by an off-spin bowler in cricket. The aim of Doosra is to confuse the batsman which makes him play a poor shot. The Doosra spins in the opposite direction to an off break bowler. Bowling a Doosra is legal, left arm bowlers too can bowl Doosra.
Who Introduced Doosra:
Pakistani famous off-spinner Saqlain Mushtaq invented Doosra in the 1990s. Other international bowlers who can bowl Doosra are Muttiah Muralitharan, Harbhajan Singh, Johan Botha, Shoaib Malik, and Saeed Ajmal. Though, left-hand spinners too can bowl Doosra. Like England's left-arm spinners Monty Panesar and Moeen Ali use it occasionally. The Sri Lankan left-arm spinner, Rangana Herath, also bowls Doosra.
When Doosra wasn't invented, the spin bowlers use to confuse the batsman by bowling straight bowls apart from their expertise. That means a right-hand batsman playing against right arm off spinner use to expect a regular off spin or a straight bowl. After Doosra was introduced, now the batsman is more confused because he is not sure where the bowl will be an off spin, a straight one, or a Doosra.
Teesra:
Teesra was too introduced by Saqlain Mushtaq. It means the third one. This is bowled by a right-arm off spinner. For a right-hand batsman who is playing against Teesra is a confusing because the action of the bowler, the wrist moment, and the ball everything seems like it is going to be an off spin bowl but it doesn't turn at all, the ball comes straight, this certainly deceives a batsman.
A doosra is a certain type of delivery bowled by an off-spin bowler in cricket. The doosra spins in the opposite direction to an off-break delivery and tries to confuse the batsman into playing a poor shot and eventually getting out.
The Meaning:
Doosra means the second one or the other one in Hindi. The origin of delivery is credited to Pakistani bowler Saqlain Mushtaq. Sri Lankan Muttiah Muralitharan, Indian Harbhajan Singh, and South Africa's Johan Botha use this type of delivery often. They have been involved in controversies regarding the legality of their bowling action while bowling the doosra. Some bowlers have been banned from bowling doosra as their bowling actions were deemed illegal.
The Origin:
The doosra is a relatively new type of delivery. Though Saqlain Mushtaq is given the credit for its invention in the 1990s, similar delivery was bowled in the late 1950s by West Indian Sonny Ramadhin. The name of the delivery was given by Moin Khan, the ex-Pakistani wicketkeeper, who would call on Mushtaq to bowl the "doosra".
Tony Greig, a commentator in one of these matches, made a connection between the word and this delivery and thus doosra was born and became a part of cricketing jargon. The doosra is now an important part of the off-spin portfolio.
The Technique:
The bowler delivers the ball with the same wrist action as that of an off-break by locking the wrist and using the index and ring fingers instead of the usual index and middle fingers. This makes the ball spin in the opposite direction to that for an off break, spinning from the leg side to the off side to a right-handed batsman.
The doosra is the off spinners' equivalent of the leg-spinner's googly, which spins in the opposite direction to the leg spinner's stock leg break delivery. Batsmen expecting the ball to spin in a conventional manner, often are caught unguarded by these deliveries.
Other bowlers:
Increasingly, more off-spinners are trying to bowl "doosra" delivery with varying degrees of success. While Saqlain never had any issues regarding his action, other off-spinners attempting to bowl this delivery have had accusations of chucking or throwing leveled against them. Some of these bowlers have been listed below:
Muttiah Muralitharan:
Muralitharan's doosra was the subject of controversy during Australia's tour of Sri Lanka in 2004, for illegal bending of the arm at the elbow during the bowling action. Muralitharan was later instructed by Sri Lanka Cricket not to bowl the doosra in international cricket.
Harbhajan Singh:
The doosra of Indian bowler Harbhajan Singh was the subject of discussion between match referee Chris Broad and others after the second Test between India and Bangladesh at Chittagong in December 2004. It was reported that his arm was straightened by angles of up to only 10 degrees, which was however within the tolerance level.
Johan Botha:
The 28-year-old off-spinner from South Africa, Johan Botha was first suspected of throwing the ball while trying a doosra on his test debut against Australia in 2006. He was banned by the ICC until he remodelled his action, but had to go for repeated testing after his doosra delivery once again drew attention during a ODI against Australia, and that was the last time he was allowed to bowl it.
Rule Relaxation
The ICC, in early 2005, decided to relax the rules and made the changes that any bowler may straighten his arm up to 15 degrees prior to bowling the delivery. This change in the rule legalized Murali, Harbhajan's doosras. Johan Botha still could not bowl the doosra as his version of it fell beyond the legal delivery limit. Meanwhile, cricketers around the world continue to be tricked and charmed by this once controversial and fearsome delivery.
