DOOSRA is a delivery bowled by an off-break bowler it is known as the second one or the other one as it's name suggests doosra that is the second one in Urdu and in Hindi.
It was first bowled by Saqlain Mushtaq of Pakistan it is a delivery by an off-break bowler which turns the other way from his normal delivery however he bowls it with the same action but the only difference is that the back of the hand faces the batsman and it spins like a normal leg spin that is it goes from the leg to the off-side for a right-handed batsman.some other bowlers who bowl the doosra are Harbhajan(India)Muralidaran(Sri Lanka) and others. if u feel u have understood then plezzz vote as best answer!!!!!!!

" Doosra" is a particular type of delivery by an off spin bowler in the sport of cricket. It was invented by Pakistani cricketer Saqlain Mushtaq. The term comes from the word do, which means "two" in Urdu and Hindi, and in this context means "the other one" (it literally means "second" or "the second one")
The bowler delivers the ball with the same finger action as a normal off break, but cocks the wrist so the back of the hand faces towards the batsman. This gives the ball spin in the opposite direction to an off break, causing it to spin from the leg side to the off side to a right-handed batsman.
The doosra is the off-spinner's equivalent of the leg-spinner's googly, which spins in the opposite direction to the leg spinner's stock ball.

A delivery which was invented by some one after watching how Murali delivers "DOOSHRA".
A delivery which spins the other way rather than spinning in the normal direction of an off spinner.
In a more simple manner a leg break from an offspinner.

A Doosra is a particular type of delivery by an off spin bowler in the sport of cricket, invented by Pakistani cricketer Saqlain Mushtaq. The term comes from the word do, which means "two" in Urdu and Hindi, and in this context means "the other one" (it literally means "second" or "the second one"
Apart from Saqlain Mushtaq, other bowlers have made considerable use of the doosra in international cricket, including leading Sri Lankan spinner Muttiah Muralitharan, Harbhajan Singh, and Shoaib
The doosra is a relatively new type of ball. Saqlain Mushtaq of Pakistan is credited with inventing the delivery, which was integral to his success and indeed the history of off-spin bowling, as perhaps no off-spinner prior to him had bowled a delivery that had turned from leg to off. The naming of the delivery is attributed to Moin Khan, the former Pakistani wicketkeeper, who would shout to Mushtaq to bowl the "doosra" (the other one) from behind the stumps. Tony Greig, a commentator in one of the matches, eventually managed to link the word to the delivery and confirmed it from Saqlain in a post match interview. Thus the term doosra became a part of cricketing culture. The doosra has now become an important part of an off-spinner's armoury. Muttiah Muralitharan is the greatest ever exponent of this type of delivery.
technical sideThe bowler delivers the ball with the same finger action as a normal off break, but cocks the wrist so the back of the hand faces towards the batsman. This gives the ball spin in the opposite direction to an off break, causing it to spin from the leg side to the off side to a right-handed batsman.
The doosra is the off-spinner's equivalent of the leg-spinner's googly, which spins in the opposite direction to the leg spinner's stock ball. In principle it is possible for a left-arm orthodox spinner (whose action mirrors that of an off-spinner) to bowl the doosra, which in this case would turn from off to leg. This has not yet been seen in international cricket, although the England left-armer Monty Panesar claims to have bowled it in domestic matches.

Even Muttiah Muralitharan struggles to explain how it works, - so, how is a "LAYMAN" supposed to know!
