We work on keeping the body upright, ensuring the back foot lands correctly, and maintaining a straight follow-through to improve line, length, and prevent injuries.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/6661e167-4e27-4bc2-9e58-5f0861f94489) - [Video: A spinner's biggest weapon is turn, and that starts with the seam position. Here, I am explaining to a student how adjusting the seam from square leg to fine leg on a batting wicket can create significantly more turn. It's a small change for a big result.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/bceb2df3-b7ae-4cc6-b70a-04a35536cc9e) - [Video: Many bowlers struggle with getting enough bounce. The problem is often a flat foot at the point of delivery.

I use a specific two-wicket drill setup to fix this. By placing obstacles to guide your run-up and delivery stride, I force your body to stay balanced and drive straight through the target. If you are drifting or losing your line, we correct the alignment of your front shoulder and hip drive before you even bowl a full-speed delivery. ### Building a Repeatable Action Spin bowling is not just about turning the ball. It is about control, drift, and consistency. Too many young bowlers chase wickets before they master their action. In my coaching sessions at Nizamuddin East, we strip everything back to the fundamentals. We look at your grip, seam position, and most importantly, your run-up and follow-through. ### Common Biomechanical Flaws I frequently see bowlers with flat-footed deliveries or 'chucking' risks due to poor arm mechanics. My biomechanical audits involve slow-motion video analysis to identify if your head is falling over or your lead arm is collapsing. We use targeted 'Box Drills' and 'Kneeling Drills' to isolate muscle groups, ensuring your wrist and fingers generate the spin, not just your shoulder. ### Why Drills Matter Whether you are training in Delhi or connecting for remote mentorship, the process is the same: - **Muscle Memory:** We repeat drills until the movement feels natural, reducing the risk of injury. - **Targeted Feedback:** We do not just bowl for hours. We bowl with intent. Every ball is audited for seam position and flight. - **Match Readiness:** We simulate match pressures—like bowling to a specific field or managing pace variations—so you are ready when the pressure is on. The goal is simple: become capable (kaabil). Once your mechanics are sound, you gain the confidence to bowl the Doosra, Carrom ball, or a flighted off-spinner without losing control. If you have the hunger for the game, I have the tools to help you succeed. ## About Manoj Chauhan I am Manoj Chauhan, and for me, cricket is a lifelong love affair. As a former Ranji Trophy player and BCCI Level-1 coach, I do not believe in quick fixes; I believe in honest, hard work.
