Cricket isn't just about hitting the ball. It's about knowing why you hit it that way. I break down real match and net footage to fix your technique from the root.

## Photos and videos

- [Video: In this drive analysis, I explain how to play a cover drive against an out-swinging ball. The key is to maintain a steady head position and extend the arms fully to control the swing and guide the ball through the gap.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/ab826efe-bdbd-4c1f-8303-aa64b47fe8d2)
- [Video: Hitting against the spin over long-on requires confidence and precise technique. Here, I break down how to use your feet to get to the pitch of the ball and keep your head position steady for a clean connection.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/cadf97e6-af67-4c57-9620-57fd5ce72c6a)
- [Video: Facing spin can be tricky. In this analysis, I explain a common mistake where the batter opens their chest on the backfoot, creating a gap between bat and pad. Staying side-on is crucial to avoid getting bowled.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/7733b437-0c2f-49d6-8b12-4543bcd3e1e5)
- [Video: A fundamental batting tip: always move your front foot into the line of the ball. In this clip, the batter shuffles too far across, leaving the stumps exposed. Proper alignment is key to protecting your wicket.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/8bc1dc6e-f3ff-4877-b655-fbdcde4aeb7c)
- [Video: Judging the length of the ball is a critical skill. In this video, I explain how to train your eyes and head to coordinate with the ball's trajectory. We use a drill where the player has to identify the pitch of the ball without swinging the bat.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/bb9577de-4b2e-41bb-86c0-ec83d67d6c83)
- [Video: A high-intensity drill to develop ball sense. By feeding the ball quickly and at varying lengths, I'm training the player to judge the ball faster and react instinctively, whether it's a front-foot or back-foot shot.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/543db656-8e9d-4e6f-86ca-67907516ace0)
- [Video: Here, I'm explaining the importance of body stability and weight transfer. Power comes from the ground up. A stable base, with weight transferred to the ball of the front foot, is essential to generate maximum force in any shot.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/4bce7b6d-6584-46e7-8bf3-87523927fb37)
- [Video: Why are you not getting power in your drives? Often, it's due to a low backlift caused by not dipping the front shoulder. In this explanation, I show how a proper shoulder dip naturally creates a high backlift, leading to a faster downswing and more powerful shots.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/c1fe2736-9589-4075-95c5-b43f46bad810)
- [Video: A common issue for young players is a "head fall," where the head tips over, causing a loss of balance. Here, I'm working with Maharth from Gujarat on drills to keep his head steady and aligned with his body, which is crucial for balance and shot control.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/1e93096c-6730-4188-ab29-ff4c7dabe8f7)
- [Video: Playing the inswinging ball can be a challenge. Here, I'm working with Yuvakshi from the USA on drills to tackle it. We focus on getting the front foot to the line of the ball and using the back leg's "heel to toe" movement to keep the head over the ball.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/1fb07c66-dc12-4a6f-8694-fe48d1dbc8a2)
- [Video: A clip from my session with Yuvakshi, working on drills for the inswinging ball. The focus is on quick footwork and maintaining balance to confidently play the ball coming into the body.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/4db272ed-130b-4eb4-b10a-d92c18241f3e)
- [Video: Part 2 of my explanation on the trigger movement. Here, I discuss when to adjust your trigger based on the bowler. Against an outswing bowler, you might move towards the middle stump, but against an inswinger, you should finish your movement on the leg stump to avoid getting trapped LBW.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/7aaa191e-17c2-4a6c-b937-34b287477700)
- [Video: Here I explain the basics of the trigger movement. It's not about a big shuffle but a small, controlled "back and cross" movement to get the body's momentum going, preparing you for both front and back foot shots without compromising your balance.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/8cf59035-c1f0-41e5-86bf-61e72b379806)
- [Video: Here I'm explaining the two types of step-out drives to Mahima from Rajasthan. A straight step-out is for balls on the stumps, while a side-on step-out (bringing the back foot across) is for creating room to hit inside-out over the covers.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/ae0ac99a-34af-421f-b663-c0bbfad6d898)
- [Video: A breakdown of how to hit a six on a yorker. The key is a quick reaction, creating room by clearing the back leg, keeping the head incredibly still, and using the wrists and bat speed to get under the ball and lift it over the boundary.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/555ad436-f739-47c7-8a02-a8c8c20bf7af)

## About Technical Analysis & Game Intelligence

Most players watch videos to see if they hit a four or six. That is the wrong approach. I use video analysis to look at the 'dead' moments: where your head was before the ball pitched, why your front shoulder dipped, and what your backlift looked like at the moment of impact. When you see your own technical errors in frame-by-frame replays, you stop guessing and start correcting.

Understanding the mechanics of your shots is the fastest way to stop getting out early. Whether it is a cover drive that goes wrong or a backfoot punch that lacks power, there is always a mechanical reason in your setup. My analysis sessions work on three specific layers:

### 1. Biomechanics Check
We look at your stance, grip, and shoulder alignment. If you are struggling against the inswinger, I will show you exactly where your front-foot toe is pointing and how that impacts your balance.

### 2. Game Intelligence
Cricket is played in the mind before the hands. We break down trigger movements against spin and pace to help you decide when to shuffle and when to hold your ground. We look at pro-level footage to discuss why a certain shot choice was correct or incorrect based on the field set.

### 3. Progressive Correction
Once we identify the 'why', we design drills—Level 1, 2, and 3—to fix that specific movement pattern. 

It is not just about looking at professional players; it is about applying that focus to your own game. From learning to judge the length early to refining your head position for a clean connection, these video breakdowns turn passive watching into active learning. You are not just training harder; you are training with clear, technical purpose.
