Cricket bowling types ka simple guide (beginners ke liye)
Intro — bowling samajhna kyu zaroori hai?
Cricket me sirf batting hi exciting nahi hoti — bowling hi game ka control center hai. Beginner ke liye sab bowlers same lag sakte hain, lekin har bowler ka style alag hota hai. Jab aap bowling types samajh jaate ho, to match ki strategy clear dikhne lagti hai.
Swing aur pace bowling ko world level par popular banane wale legends jaise Wasim Akram ne dikhaya ki bowling ek art hai — sirf speed nahi, skill bhi.
Bowling ke 2 main categories (easy understanding)
✅ 1) Fast bowling — speed + bounce
Fast bowlers ka goal hota hai batsman ko pace aur movement se beat karna.
Swing bowling
👉 Ball hawa me curve hoti hai
👉 Batsman confuse ho jata hai
Seam bowling
👉 Pitch pe hit karke direction change
👉 Edge ka chance
Bouncer
👉 Short, chest/head height ball
👉 pressure create karta hai
👉 Beginner tip: jab ball tez aaye aur batsman late react kare — fast bowling.
✅ 2) Spin bowling — deception + control
Spin bowlers ball ko ghumate hain taaki batsman galti kare.
Off spin
👉 Right-hand batsman ki taraf spin
Leg spin
👉 Opposite direction spin
👉 zyada tricky
Doosra / variations
👉 surprise element
👉 Spin bowling patience aur brain game hai.
Pace vs spin — simple difference
Fast bowling = speed + aggression
Spin bowling = trick + control
Dono ka goal ek hi — wicket lena.
