Bowlers need to step up their game.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/5c91cc8e-f197-4797-911a-4fb69c83a451) - [Video: Two batsmen, Priyansh Arya and Ayush Badoni, are consistently destroying bowling attacks in the DPL. This is a wake-up call for bowlers. You can't play at a higher level if you can't handle two good batsmen. The standard has to rise.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/0ce4e2d6-7e3b-4d32-8514-a77c775a96a9) - [Video: The Delhi Premier League (DPL) is a golden opportunity for players who felt overlooked.

But then I see these kids with branded gear and money for physios. If you can afford luxuries, you can afford the 2-3k fee. Senior players who can afford it should also pay to support the academy and help those who are genuinely in need.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/c8395f50-e0ee-4c51-b44c-d43826164d80) - [Video: An academy's environment is shaped by its senior players.

Yahan hum 'yaar-dosti' se selection nahi karte. If you are training here, you are facing real pressure, not just bowling machines. Whether it is our DDCA league team formation or collaboration with outside facilities to experience different wickets, every step is calculated to get you ready for professional cricket. No fluff, just preparation. Cricket coaching in Delhi is flooded with academies selling false dreams. My approach is different. Inside this cluster, you will see how we actually prepare athletes—not by inflating egos, but by breaking down their game. We don't do 'copy-paste' workouts. Whether it is joining forces with facilities like Cricrun in Gurgaon to test players on different pitches or forming teams for the DDCA league, the goal is always the same: exposure to real competition. ### Why This Academy is Different - **Real Match Simulations:** We don't just bowl at nets. We create conditions that force you to think under pressure. - **Honest Feedback:** If you aren't ready for a higher level, I will tell you. We focus on the 'Tappa' and line-length rather than fake speed gun results. - **Mentorship for Parents:** I speak as directly to parents as I do to players. If you are putting unnecessary pressure on your kid, you will hear about it. Our training at GTB Nagar is for those who are ready to 'ghisaai' (grind) from the bottom. If you want to play at the state or national level, you need to understand that the system demands more than just passion. It demands discipline, a backup plan, and the mental toughness to handle failure. Check out our updates to see if this is the reality check your cricket career needs. ## About Ravi Chhikara Main Ravi hoon. Cricket ke maidan mein jo sach hai, wahi bolta hoon.
