Featured Cricket Coaching and Technical Drills
I focus on the mechanics of your game, whether it is correcting a head fall or building power. Explore how I combine my Ranji Trophy experience with practical drills to help you improve your batting and bowling technique.
(Hero Media) 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.
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.
A memory from my professional career during the 2011-12 Ranji Trophy season. Here I am on the field at Eden Gardens during a Delhi vs Bengal match with the legendary Sourav Ganguly. This experience at the highest level of domestic cricket shapes the professional standards I bring to my coaching.
Distance is not a barrier to improving your game. This is a glimpse of an online coaching session where I analyze a player's technique remotely through video call, providing real time feedback and drills they can practice anywhere in the world.
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.
I don't just coach, I still live the game. This is a mini vlog from a recent match where I contributed with both bat and ball, taking three wickets and hitting the winning runs, which earned me the Man of the Match award. I believe in leading by example.
Power in your shots comes from a proper backlift, not just brute force. I show a student how a simple bat tap before the bowler releases can naturally improve the height and path of his backlift, generating more momentum and power through the ball. You can see the difference it makes instantly.

Most batsmen struggle with power because their backlift is too low. In my sessions, we fix this by introducing a simple bat tap just as the bowler reaches their jump. This minor adjustment naturally raises your backlift, giving you instant momentum and significantly more power in your shots without needing to change your entire technique.
Cricket isn't just about swinging the bat; it is a game of fine margins. Whether you are struggling with a 'head fall' that disrupts your balance or you cannot time the ball effectively against spin, we break it down frame-by-frame. In my sessions, we do not guess; we diagnose.
When we train at the DAV School nets in Nizamuddin, I use real-time video recording on our mobiles. Seeing yourself bat is the fastest way to learn. If you are struggling with a specific shot, like the pull or the sweep, we do not just talk about it. I adjust your wrist position and footwork right there in the nets so you can feel the correct posture.
For players training online, the process is just as rigorous. I provide frame-by-frame diagnostic reviews of your match footage. I will tell you exactly why you are missing the ball. Is your grip too tight? Is your front foot planting too early? I give you home drills to fix these biomechanical errors so you can see results even when you are not on the ground.
If you are a student, a corporate player, or an aspiring Ranji hopeful, remember that talent is only the starting point. It is the discipline to correct your basics and the honesty to accept a technical flaw that makes a cricketer. Let's get to work.
