What is a "leg side"?
In cricket, the leg side is the half of the field that is on the same side as the batsman's legs. For a right-handed batsman, it is the area to the left, and for a left-handed batsman, it is to the right. The leg side is also known as the "on side," in contrast to the "off side," which is in front of the batsman. When a batter hits the ball in this direction, it is considered a shot to the leg side. Fielding positions on the leg side differ from those on the off side, and the leg side can sometimes be more challenging to defend, particularly for bowlers.
Example
The batsman flicked the ball effortlessly to the leg side for a boundary.
The fielder positioned himself deep on the leg side boundary.
The bowler consistently targeted the leg side to exploit the batsman 's weakness.
