How To Grip A Ball To Bowl Leg Spin/Break

     Leg Spin is the toughest form of spin bowling in cricket,and unless done correctly,can lead to a variety of problems in future.So its better to learn the basics properly before advancing into the other variations.

     In this post,I shall show you the proper way of gripping a ball to properly bowl leg breaks,the main variety of leg spin.
      So here are a few ways or steps that you need to follow to grip the ball properly.

1. Place your index and middle fingers over the seam.
2. Your thumb should lie across the seam,touching it.
3. Your index and middle fingers should have a few millimeters gap in between them.
4. Now place the ring finger across the seam,keeping a nominal gap from the middle finger.
5. The little finger may either touch the ball,or not;it is optional.It actually depends from player to player.I personally try to keep the little finger on the ball as I feel comfortable that way,but its completely upto you how you want to keep it.

Now,take a look at this picture and decide whether your grip is correct or not.
