A Look Inside My Personal Cricket Coaching Sessions
Get a front-row seat to how I conduct my 1-to-1 coaching sessions at DAV School, Nizamuddin. See how we break down techniques, practice with the Robo Arm, and work on match-day scenarios.
This mini vlog gives you a complete look into a structured personal coaching session. We start with specific drills for cover drives, pull shots, and sweeps, then move to facing pace with the Robo Arm, and finish with live net practice against spinners to simulate real match conditions.
An early morning session packed with a variety of drills to develop an all around game. We work on one hand and two hand shadow drills for flow, practice cut and pull shots, and then move to hitting against spin, including the sweep and stepping out to hit over the top.
Perfecting the drive is about a sequence of movements. This video shows three key drills I use, starting with bottom hand control, moving to top hand guidance, and finally combining them to create a smooth, powerful, and technically correct drive.
I advise serious cricketers to practice early in the morning. The moisture in the air and on the pitch makes the ball swing and seam more, which are the exact tough conditions you will face in professional matches like the Ranji Trophy.
Hear directly from two of my students, Ambar and Krishna, about their experience with my personal coaching. They share how the focus on small technical details and a positive training environment has improved their batting, bowling, and overall mindset.
Dedication is key to success in cricket. I want to introduce you to Sonali, a hardworking player who travels two hours each way from Hapur for practice, showing the kind of commitment it takes to pursue your passion for the game.
About A Look Inside My Training Sessions
Every session is built around your specific technical needs rather than a fixed template. When you train with me, we use high-speed Robo Arm deliveries to replicate match pace and record your shots on video to highlight mechanical flaws in your grip, stance, or head position before moving on to live net practice against spinners.
Why I Coach Early Morning
I prefer starting sessions early at the DAV School, Nizamuddin East. This isn't just about discipline. Early morning moisture on the turf wicket makes the ball swing and seam, simulating the exact conditions you will face in state-level matches like the Ranji Trophy. It is the best time to challenge your technique.
My Training Method
- Technical Breakdown: We don't just hit the ball. We analyze your backlift, head position, and weight transfer. If your footwork is heavy, we fix it with shadow drills before you even touch a bat.
- Robo Arm Practice: I use the Robo Arm for 20-30 minutes every session to feed the ball at 130kph+, giving you the experience of facing real pace without the risk of an inconsistent bowler.
- Live Net Simulation: We finish with live nets against academy spinners. This teaches you how to rotate the strike, use your feet, and read the flight of the ball—skills that you can only learn in a live environment.
What You Get
Unlike group academies where you might get only a few balls to face, my 1-to-1 sessions are intensive. You get the full 60 minutes of my undivided attention. I record your shots on my phone, show you the errors in real-time, and explain exactly why you missed that cover drive or why your pull shot went to hand. This is not just coaching; it is a clinical approach to getting you match-ready.
