Watch our coaches break down the fundamentals. From refining your cover drive to hitting the right bowling spot, here is how we teach the basics of the game.

A perfect cover drive requires a bent front knee for better weight transfer and control. This drill shows the difference between a stiff leg and a flexible, powerful stance.

Mastering the front foot defense is crucial. Our coach demonstrates how to keep your head over the ball and use a soft bottom hand to absorb pace and control the block.

Learn the front foot drive from our coach. He explains the importance of head position, weight transfer, and full arm extension to play a powerful and controlled shot.

The on-drive requires a slight opening of the body to play the shot effectively. Our coach demonstrates the correct body alignment and footwork for young, aspiring players.

Understanding the sweep shot. This drill explains how to adjust your shot based on the line of the ball, whether it's pitched outside off, straight, or on the leg side.

How to approach a short ball. We teach players to differentiate between a pull-able delivery and a bouncer that is best left alone, focusing on shot selection and safety.

A stable head is the foundation of good batting. This comparison shows how a still, level head improves balance and judgment, compared to a tilted position that hinders it.

Adapting your footwork is key. This video demonstrates the difference in stride length when facing a spinner versus a pacer, allowing for better timing and positioning.

What should a fast bowler do when the ball stops swinging? Coach Parvinder Awana explains how to use the crease to create angles and deceive the batsman.

Indian cricketer Parvinder Awana shares his advice on fitness for fast bowlers, emphasizing the importance of ground training for endurance and using the gym for recovery.

Mastering the short barrier is crucial for saving runs inside the circle. This is the first step: approaching the ball low, with a steady head and eyes on the ball. A good approach sets up the entire fielding action.19
The next phase of the short barrier is the set position and pickup. A wide base for balance, bent knees, and one knee behind the ball ensures you are in a stable position to gather the ball cleanly with soft hands.
After the pickup, it's about a quick transfer and load. The body turns side-on to generate power, and the back leg is loaded, ready to push off and throw. This quick transition is what creates run-outs.
The final step is a strong overarm throw and a full follow-through. Aim and accuracy are everything here. A complete follow-through ensures you have used all the momentum generated, resulting in a flat, powerful throw.
