When a large star has spent all its nuclear energy it finally contracts due to its own gravity and becomes a dense small object called a neutron star. Many such stars are found to be rotating with a high speed. How can you account for this high rate of rotation particularly when most stars like our sun are rotating very slowly?
Conservation of momentum. If you spin around with your arms outstretched and then bring them to you, you will speed up. Same thing happens with a collapsed star, since the neutron star is so much smaller.
