How to bowl googly
Hello Anish,
This is the best and easiest explanation I found in youtube. CLICK HERE
The top joints of the index and middle fingers should be across the seam, with the ball resting between a bent third finger and the thumb.
Your wrist should be 180 degrees to the ground, while the seam of the ball should point towards fine leg.
Again, it should be your third finger which does most of the work, turning the ball anti-clockwise on release.
You'll probably find it goes horribly wrong the first few times you give the googly a try, but don't give up.
As the old saying goes, practice makes perfect. Use a tennis ball to help improve the flexibility of your wrist.

STEP ONE
Hold the ball as if you're about to bowl a normal leg-break. The top joints of the index and middle fingers should be across the seam, with the ball resting between a bent third finger and the thumb.
STEP TWO
At the point of release, the palm of your hand should be open
upwards, towards the sky, with the back of your hand facing the batsman.
Your wrist should be 180 degrees to the ground, while the seam of the ball should point towards fine leg.
Again, it should be your third finger which does most of the work, turning the ball anti-clockwise on release.
You'll probably find it goes horribly wrong the first few times you give the googly a try, but don't give up.
