Definition
A type of bowling in cricket where the ball is imparted with spin, causing it to deviate in the air or off the pitch. This requires specific defensive techniques from the batsman.
Why it matters (in Poovi’s context)
Understanding defensive techniques against spin is crucial for batsmen to avoid getting out and to build an innings, analogous to mitigating risks in insurance.
