Bat Aggressively

Batting aggressively is very fascinating both for the batsman and the spectators. Ripping those bowlers apart is sure a good way to have fun. So get yourself all geared up to become a bowler's greatest nightmare!!!

Steps

  1. Hold the bat the way you get a full powered swing. That is hold the bat either from the bottom of the handle (like Virender Sehwag) or from the top of the handle (like Adam Gilchrist) or anywhere so that you comfortably get a full outstretched swing of the bat.
  2. Take a strong Batting Stance. For aggressive batting, your stance should be strong and composed. A high back lift stance helps in improving your batting reflexes and gives extra power to the shots played.
  3. Get your feet moving while playing hard shots. If you move your feet towards the pitch of the ball you'll be able to transfer the weight of your back leg to the shot you'll play. This adds on as some extra power to your shots and also increases your chances of hitting the ball from the middle of the bat.
  4. Position your head. Head should be in the right position while playing shots. With a steady head you'll have more control on your shots and you'll improve your shot selection and placement.
  5. Finish your shot with a clean follow through. A good shot follow through gives perfect lift to the ball and prevents you from injuries.

Tips

  • Practice a lot! Practicing is the only key to be a successful hard hitting batsman.
  • Remember, there are a lot of ways to hit 6's and 4's, not just by slogging. Being an aggressive batsman doesn't mean you have to be strong.
  • Before playing big shots on each delivery defend 4-6 deliveries to get the feel of the pitch and the bounce.
  • Hitting a huge six pumps adrenalin so take a single and get to the other end to control the rush of blood.

Warnings

  • Never play with the intention to insult the bowler, play aggressively just because you like playing aggressively or its the only way you know. Now you are ready to unleash hell on the bowlers. Good Luck!
