Cricket Batting Masterclass: Technical Fixes
Stop guessing your errors and start fixing them. I use video analysis and hands-on drills to correct your stance, balance, and shot execution so you can score more runs with confidence.
A common issue for batsmen is the head falling over, which affects balance and shot timing. In this video, I diagnose the problem with a student and provide a simple, effective drill focusing on eye line and shoulder alignment to fix it, showing the immediate improvement in his stability and stroke play.
Playing against off spin requires specific techniques to avoid getting out LBW or bowled. Here, I analyze a batsman's dismissal, pointing out the incorrect foot placement and the gap between bat and pad, and explain how playing straighter would have prevented the error.
A player's body language at the crease is crucial. I often find that a defensive or fearful mindset leads to poor performance, so I work with students to build a positive, attacking approach, encouraging them to look for scoring opportunities and play with confidence.
A solid batting stance is the foundation of every shot. I am making small but crucial adjustments to a player's setup, including stance width, body weight distribution, and hand position, to ensure he is balanced and ready to move effectively.
To prepare players for match pressure, I create challenging practice scenarios. Here, I've placed multiple balls around the batsman to distract him, forcing him to improve his focus and judge line and length more accurately, which ultimately makes batting in a real game feel easier.
This is a detailed analysis of a single delivery, looking at both the bowler's action and the batsman's response. I break down the bowler's straight arm and seam position, and the batsman's stride, head position, and bat path to show the technical elements of a good contest.
I work with players of all backgrounds, including dedicated women cricketers. Here, I am discussing shot selection for short pitched bowling, explaining how to play the pull shot versus the upper cut based on the line of the ball to score runs effectively and safely.
Playing with a straight bat is the golden rule of batting, especially against the moving ball. This clip shows a net session where the focus is on presenting the full face of the bat to the ball, ensuring clean contact and minimizing the risk of edges.
About Batting Masterclass: Technical Fixes
Often, I see batsmen lose balance because their head falls to the off-side during the stride. It is a simple fix—keep your eyes focused on the bowler using your right eye and ensure your helmet grille stays close to your left shoulder. This small adjustment keeps you stable and straightens your bat path immediately, giving you much better control over your drives.
Cricket is simple, but execution is where most players struggle. My batting masterclass is not about hitting hundreds of balls blindly; it is about deliberate, focused practice. Whether you are struggling with a shaky backlift, getting trapped LBW, or feeling fearful against pace, we fix it by breaking down your movement frame-by-frame.
My Approach to Coaching
At my training centre at DAV School, Nizamuddin, we use Robo Arm (Sidearm) for high-speed pace simulation. This helps you get used to the speed and bounce without the guesswork, mimicking real match conditions. For remote learners or those outside Delhi, I offer online video analysis where you send me your match footage. I review it to diagnose technical flaws like weight transfer issues or elbow alignment and assign specific shadow drills that you can practice in small spaces at home.
Why Technique Matters
Many players think power comes from strength, but it actually comes from biomechanics—how your body aligns to generate force. We work on your stance width, hand position, and the stability of your base. If you are playing defensively because of fear, we also work on your mindset to help you attack the ball. You don't get better by hoping for a good innings; you get better by training for it. Bring your kit, and let's get to work.
