Which cricketers bowl with one hand but bat with the other?

Always found it fascinating when guys bowl right-arm fast but bat left-handed (like Broad or Zaheer). Who are the best examples of this, and does it actually give them an advantage?

Some cricketers have a unique style where they bowl with one hand and bat with the other, which is known as cross-dominance. A well-known example of this is Sachin Tendulkar, who writes with his left hand but bats and bowls right-handed for the Indian national cricket team. Another player who fits this description is Kane Williamson, who also writes left-handed but bats right-handed.

Some cricketers are cross-dominant, which means they use one hand for batting and the other for bowling. Take David Warner, for instance—he's naturally right-handed but swings the bat left-handed. On the other hand, Joe Root writes with his left hand but bats and bowls right-handed for the England cricket team.

Some cricketers have a fascinating way of using different hands for batting and bowling. Take Sachin Tendulkar, for instance—he bats right-handed but writes and performs many tasks with his left hand. Then there's Ben Stokes, who bats left-handed but bowls with his right arm. This kind of natural cross-dominance really adds an interesting twist to the game of cricket!

Some cricketers have a unique approach by using different dominant sides for batting and bowling. Take Wasim Akram, for instance—he bowled with his left arm but batted right-handed. Then there's Sachin Tendulkar, who batted right-handed despite being naturally left-handed. Other players like Kane Williamson and Joe Root also showcase how having mixed-handed skills is quite common in the world of cricket.
