Gym strength is useless if you can't translate it to the pitch. I focus on cricket-specific acceleration, reaction drills, and field agility to help you move faster when it matters most.

A demonstration of proper running mechanics on the field at the stadium. We start with fundamental drills like A-skips to reinforce the correct form before progressing to full sprints, ensuring every movement is efficient and powerful.

Here, I'm working with former Indian cricketer Parvinder Awana on complex speed development. The session includes resisted sprints and change-of-direction drills to enhance neural agility and explosive power, critical for high-level fielding and running.

This is a look at off-season conditioning for a team of cricketers. We use intensive interval training on the field to build a strong endurance base, which significantly improves VO2 max and overall athletic performance for the upcoming season.

A game-specific warm-up is crucial for preparing the body for the demands of cricket. Here, I'm leading a team through a series of dynamic movements, mobility exercises, and light running drills to activate the right muscles and prevent injury.

Team building exercises and minor games are a great way to improve team cohesiveness and communication. These fun, competitive drills also serve as a form of conditioning, improving coordination and agility in a dynamic setting.

About On-Field Speed & Agility

Most people think running on a treadmill makes you faster. It doesn't. On the field, speed is about reaction time, change-of-direction, and how fast your brain tells your muscles to fire. We focus on complex speed—drills that mimic the exact demands of a match, whether you're fielding or running between the wickets. Gym ka kaam ground pe dikhna chahiye.
