Which type of bowling was Ian Botham known for?

  • Spin bowling

  • Leg-spin bowling

  • Fast bowling

  • Swing bowling

Answer

Swing bowling, Ian Botham's signature style, involves delivering the ball with a sideways spin that causes it to deviate laterally in the air. This movement makes it difficult for batsmen to predict the ball's trajectory, increasing the chances of dismissal through bowled or caught behind. Botham's mastery of swing bowling, combined with his exceptional pace and accuracy, made him one of the most formidable bowlers in cricket history.
