We use cone and tire drills to ensure your head, shoulder, and toes are perfectly aligned before you commit to any shot. If your stance feels shaky during net sessions or you are losing balance, this is exactly where we fix it. Old is gold, bhai. You can practice all the fancy shots you want, but if your base is weak, you will struggle against quality bowling. In this cluster, I break down the core of your game: stance, alignment, and weight transfer. ### The Importance of the Top Hand Many players ask me, 'Top hand kya karta hai?' It gives you control. I teach you how to use your top hand to guide the bat and generate power. Without a strong top hand, you are just swinging blindly. ### Why Drills Matter We don't do gym work here. We do cricket-specific drills. Whether it is using tires for stability or resistance bands for power hitting, every movement is designed to translate into runs. You will learn to: - Keep your head, shoulder, and toes in sync. - Shift weight fluidly from the back foot to the front. - Maintain perfect alignment for cover drives, cuts, and sweeps. I am on the field with you, correcting your grip and stance. My coaching at Training Central Cricket Academy is tough because I want you to understand the 'why' behind every shot. If you are ready to put in the hard work and drill the basics until they become second nature, you will see the difference in your performance. ## About Malaya Sahoo Main hoon Malaya Sahoo, a batting coach who believes in basics.
