Why are hanging ball drills important and must have set up at home to improve batting for a strong foundation?

Image
     When I started cricket at a young age, I always tried to find ways to practice even when I was home. I used to throw the ball onto the wall and wait for the ball to bounce back from the wall, and try playing it. Assuming the scenarios that would happen on the field try to have some fun just like enjoying the game on the field. Until I was introduced to hanging ball drills. At a basic level after you have learnt about the grip and stance in cricket you will be taught about the importance of keeping eyes on the ball and footwork. For any young cricketer out there, these two aspects of batting in cricket are mandatory. So, how would you improve on this? To this day there are lots of drills to improve these aspects but if you are a cricketer just starting on the journey to become one of the greatest batters in cricket history, you first need to make that foundation strong and how can you do it? Hanging ball drills are the best ones to start. From anywhere around 8-16 y...

Cricket: How it Became 'a Sport to a Profession' in India | Chapter - 01: Inception: How, When and Why?

Image
Chapter - 01 Inception: How, when and why? Ground: Shivamogga, KSCA Before taking you to the inception let me tell you how this sport has been a part of my life. At an early age, I was introduced to this game. It was from my brothers that I got this game’s interest. It was like I was meant to be at this kind of stage. I know everyone who has given their heart and soul to this sport might have felt the same sensations. After that, it just grew more and more inside me. There were a thousand things in the world that I could have become but I chose cricket over all of those things. And yet I couldn’t get to where I intended to be. Again, that is a different story. Why am I babbling this to you? because the sport has impacted so much in my life and I feel like it is losing its charm.

The quitter

Image
  The quitter                Last year I joined a company. I don't want to mention the name but when I gave the interview it looked so much pleasant and welcomed me wholeheartedly. At least that is what I thought but as I started my work, things changed drastically. I started feeling like being targeted for no reason at all. Unnecessary meetings, unnecessary work being put on me, unnecessary things said behind me and in front of me which they don't even know what happened. All the things they did were unnecessary. The funny part is that I went to that company because my friend was working there, and I could get used to the environment a lot better.  Before joining that company, I had been jobless for almost 2 years. It was the turning point in my life, and I wanted to make that happen, so I did everything that they told me to do. At any cost, I did not want to quit. Also, it was the career-building position where I was designated ...

Image
  A conversation between ‘ To live ’ and ‘ To die. ’                  In a small city somewhere in the cosmos there were two best friends one is ‘To live’ and the other is ‘To die’. They both were so close. Some even believe that they both are God’s creation. If even one of them did not have been created the other would have no life or meaning in the cosmos. They both had a superpower of seeing people thoughts of craving for them.                  One day as usual they both were taking a walk through the woods. ‘To live’ started a conversation by remembering the incidents which gave him a name “to live”.    Imaginary - 'To live' To live: I still remember how I got the name ‘To live’. When I was brought into this cosmos people were in love instantly. They always wanted me to be in there surrounding. Most of them ...

MIDST OF CHAOS YOU RISE!

Image
                      After so many years dreaming and putting efforts to represent Indian cricket team was broken actually if I say broken it would be misunderstood I would rather say gave up when I last participated in U19 age group. Till then whenever I stepped into that field I felt like giving everything to that game even after so many rejections and disapprovals. Yes, it was all my fault who didn't put enough effort to get to the end line what I had set to myself. That doesn't mean I have not tried.  I have. Every time I get back and stand, I fell. I fell miserably. Yes, that too was my fault. I could have still tried after U19 but I choose not to. I had one incident where I lost all hopes and there was nothing to me to still hold on to that game. I felt betrayed after that incident. I know I am not the only one who had been betrayed from this game of cricket. However, my family never wanted me to give up on cricket becau...
