My Coaching Philosophy: Building Better Cricketers

A one-on-one net session. I'm working with the batsman on shot selection, advising him to respect a good ball but be ready to put away anything in his area. It's about building game awareness.

This drill, holding a ball under the elbow, is a simple way to fix a common technical flaw. It promotes a compact backlift and better control, showing how small details can make a big difference.

During this spot bowling drill, I'm challenging the bowlers to be accurate. My role is to set the standard and provide immediate feedback, like "Bowled, Abhishek!", to reinforce good habits.

Here, I'm explaining a technical correction for an off-spinner. We identified an issue with his action, and now we're working on the "jump and turn" to fix it. This is cái analysis in action.

I'm demonstrating the sweep shot to two young players. Sometimes, showing the technique is the best way to teach it. I break it down so they can understand the body mechanics.

"That's how you do it." Here, I'm showing a wicket-keeper the correct technique for a drill. Direct demonstration and clear instruction are central to my coaching style.

Even as a coach, I still love to roll my arm over. Bowling in the nets helps me give better feedback to the batsmen and keeps me connected to the game.

I like to make drills competitive. The 6-ball challenge puts a bowler's accuracy under pressure, simulating a real match situation where every ball counts.

Working with a young bowler, I provide simple, direct feedback like "bend nahi karna" (don't bend). Breaking it down to basics is how we build a solid foundation.
