I use video analysis in our sessions to show you exactly why you are mis-timing the ball. We focus on getting your weight transfer right so that every shot you play is balanced, controlled, and in the line of the ball. Power means nothing if you are hitting into the air. Whether you are playing forward defense or a pull shot, your alignment must be perfect. At our training centers in JP Nagar and Kothanur, we move beyond simple knocking. We use video analysis to identify exactly where your head falls or why your back foot punch is failing. We utilize specific tools—resistance bands, balance boards, and 40-60kg tires—to stabilize your core and train your muscles for the specific demands of batting. You will practice drills designed to force proper weight transfer, ensuring you are never caught off-balance. My coaching is straightforward: we do not do shortcuts. We train like athletes. We work on the line of the ball until it becomes muscle memory. This program is for players who want to stop repeating the same technical mistakes and start scoring consistently. If you are ready for tough, honest feedback and intense, drill-based training, let’s get to work. ## About Malaya Sahoo I am Malaya Sahoo, head coach at The Training Central. I believe the best batsmen are built on boring, repetitive drills. I don’t teach shortcuts—we focus on alignment and fundamentals to make your technique bulletproof.
