Episode -15 Back foot defense drill - 28.05.2020

Hi friends,

Hope we are doing practice of previous episode tips and getting benefitted, with our past blogs, we have discussed about back foot batting skills in our last episode,

After doing practice of foot movement toward back side and towards off stump. Now we will start practicing defense on back foot,

I am describing the back foot defense first-

To play or defense the short pitch or short of length ball, We have to push our self towards back side on back foot to make more space to handle the length and height of the ball, During this shot, our body will be balanced on back foot, head position towards the ball and will watch the ball till the end,

Body must not open to play the shot, Bat should be straighten and face towards ground, Bat will be lift up-to shoulders height,

Movement of body must be quick and focus on ball should be more than front foot.

This is all about description of the back foot defense in literal means but it is difficult to practice this shot without physical or audio visual mode, so I made a Video of this drill to make the things clear. Intially you will see the front front drill and than Back foot drill, So watch full video. 

Please watch this video to understand the foot movement, bat position, body balancing, focusing on ball, and I hope it will definitely work to you.

In our next episode, we will discuss about Drive on back foot or also called punching on back foot.
