So let's learn CRICKET WITH SNEHAL

Hi, I’m Snehal, aur main chahti hu ki mere videos aur
coaching ke dwara aapka game next level tak jaye, aur
aapka high score improve ho.
But for this, just going to Cricket Academy is not enough.
Cricket Academies DO NOT HELP YOU IMPROVE YOUR GAME!
Think about it. Cricket Academy me har batch me 30+

students hote hai. So each player gets to bat in the nets for
very limited time. Jyada se jyada 10-15 minutes. That too not
every day.
Is prakar se HOW WILL YOUR BATTING IMPROVE?
30+ Students ke liye, there is only one coach. Coach cannot

give individual attention to each player.
Har academy ke paas ache qualified coach nahi hota hai.

And younger students ko normally assistant coaches sikhate
hai. Who don’t have much experience.

Academy is important. It is a place to show your talent. To

play matches and get match experience. To feel part of a
team.
BUT YOU CAN IMPROVE BATTING WITHOUT ACADEMY!
With this guide that I have made, giving you high quality
tips from an INTERNATIONAL CRICKETER.
Follow the tips, do the hard work at home, aur aapke

academy ke coaches ko impress karo!
In this guide you will get tips of three kinds.
1. Technical.
2.Physical.
3.Lifestyle.
You’ll also get a schedule of how you should improve your

cricket at home covering all three aspects.
So are you ready to improve your game with me?

Before we start, print this page and fill out this table.
To improve, we have to know two things: WHERE WE ARE

and WHERE WE WANT TO GO
The table has Beginner habits, and Professional Cricketer

habits.
Put a Tick Mark on the ‘Beginner habits’ which apply to you.

Be honest.
Then see the Professional Cricketer habits that you want to
develop.
Don’t feel bad if you tick any of these habits. Now you know
what to improve. So you can improve fast.

Professional Batters work A LOT on Basics of Batting.
Sachin Tendulkar ne 2003 World Cup me 673 runs banaye,

WITHOUT BATTING IN NETS! He just did lots of throwdows
every day to get his basics right!
You get to bat only maybe 10 to 15 mins in the nets at your

academy. That’s not enough to become a professional
cricketer.
So aapko ghar pe aapke basics pakke karne hai.
This is what it looks like:
Most importantly. Mark your guard with chalk before you

start batting:
Draw all three stumps, and draw your crease along with it.

Step 1: Stand on your guard and check your front foot stride
distance.
Step 2: Place a tennis ball according to your stride distance.

Step 3: Take your stance
Step 4: Take your front foot stride and play the ball. The
ball should go in the line where you played the shot.

Step 5: Take your follow-through and hold that
position for five seconds for balance.

Step 1: Stand on your guard and check your back foot
stride distance.
Step 2: Place a tennis ball on top of a bottle according to

your stride distance.

Step 3: Take your stance
Step 4: Take your back foot stride and play the ball. The
ball should go in the line where you played the shot.

Step 5: Take your follow-through and hold that position for
five seconds for balance.

Cricket Team Sport Hai. Magar batting ek Individual
sport hai. It’s you batting alone, against the ball.
And the good news is, YOU CAN PRACTICE ALONE
Ek awesome practice technique hai Wall Batting. This

helps you build:
Hand-Eye coordination
Control on your bat
Helps you play with straight bat
Batting Stamina (try to bat without break for a long
time)
Here's how you can practice this at home

Step 1: Hold your bat in the top hand and tennis ball in the
bottom hand.
Step 2: Throw the tennis ball STRAIGHT and hold the bat
with both hands, be ready to play.

Step 3: Play the ball as straight as possible so it comes
back straight and you don’t have to move. (Use your feet
to get into good positions so you can hit straight.)
Even top cricketers do this drill. Watch Steve Smith do it by

clicking the link below:
STEVE SMITH WALL DRILL
CHALLENGE: Can you play with a tennis ball on the wall

without break more times than me? Click on this video to
see me playing 50 balls without break.
BEAT MY RECORD!

Batting individual sport hai. Magar Batting ke liye
preparation team sport hai.
Koi player akele India ke liye nahi khelta hai. Uski poori
family khelti hai.
So it’s important to INVOLVE YOUR FAMILY in your game.

Brother, Sister, Father, Mother, everyone.
They will help you with your lifestyle, diet, and even
Batting technique.
Take their help to practice batting at home, with softballs

and underarm throws.
After doing basics as above, practice your shots at home

with your parents.
In these photos, my father is throwing tennis balls at me

underarm on our terrace.

Step 1: Stand in stance. Ask your family member to use
softballs/tennis balls.
Step 2: Ask your family member to throw underarm,

slowly. Practice front foot and back foot shots.

Batting is about getting into good positions.
Getting into position matlab moving arms and legs into

the right place just in time for the ball.
Early nahi, late nahi. For this you need control. For control,
you need to be physically fit.
Fitness helps in other things also.
Staying side on. Keeping your balance while batting.

Batting for long periods, like 90 overs. Keeping your
concentration in the slog overs.
“Weak Legs Command. Strong Legs Obey.” - Fitness trainer

of a very famous Tennis player, Andre Agassi.
It means: If you have a weak body, your body controls you.

If you have a strong body, you control your body.
WHICH DO YOU WANT?

Bodyweight exercises are the best way to start training
your body. No need for a gym.
First, handle your own body weight. You can do all these
at home.
‘Decide your own repetitions but make sure that the last
two reps are hard for you to do.’
Pushups
Plank
Squats
Cricket is not just about what you do on the field.
Your DIET affects your Batting.

Your SLEEP affects your Batting.
Your EMOTIONS affect your Batting.
Your MINDSET affects your Batting.
Your PEOPLE affect your Batting
World’s Best Batters work on all these things.
Virat Kohli is successful because of his Fitness.
Rahul Dravid did Meditation regularly.
Sachin Tendulkar made a lot of Sacrifices for his game.
YOU TOO CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFESTYLE TO HELP YOUR GAME!

Here are five starting lifestyle tips:
1 . After working hard, recover well: Recovery is as

important as fitness. In fitness sessions, we push the body.
When we sleep, the body grows stronger. Less sleep, less
strength. Make sure you sleep 8-10 hours a day. For that,
you have to stay away from your phone after 8 PM.
Sacrifices!
2. Work on your concentration and emotions with

meditation and pranayam: This is the best way to be
mentally very fit. You can start with this simple five-
minute pranayam.
3. Respect your equipment: Clean your bat once a week

with sandpaper. Apply wax to keep it smooth. Wipe your
pads. Clean up your kit bag, and keep it organized. If you
take care of your bat, your bat will take care of you.
4. Don’t practice without a goal. Set weekly goals with

your family. Think about process goals (properly watching
50 balls in the nets), not result goals (scoring 50 runs).
Then do your practice with those goals in mind. Analyze
your performance at the end of every week.
5. Discuss your game, your goals, your problems with

coaches, parents, and mentors: Ask whatever question you
have in your mind. If you don’t ask, you won’t get answers.
Find good people to guide you about your game, in real
life or online.
