Explanation

The teesra is an advanced variation of the doosra, credited to Saqlain Mushtaq. It drifts in from wide of off stump and turns away sharply with extra bounce, making it even more difficult for batsmen to play. The name comes from Urdu/Hindi meaning 'the third one' (after the off-break and doosra).
