Standing Sideways
Always place your feet shoulder-width apart while facing the bowler. While maintaining a straight back, bend your body at the hips. Point your non-dominant shoulder in the direction of the bowler as you prepare the bat, and make sure to maintain your eyes on the ball. You need to keep your shoulders level and from sagging.
Hold the bat
Always maintain a solid grip on your bat. In the case of a right-handed person, the left hand should be gripping the end of the bat with the knuckles towards the bowler, and the right hand should be positioned above the left hand and hold the bat with two fingers and the thumb. For a better and firmer grip, place your thumb and index finger in a V shape.
Distance between the bat and the stump
In your turf, mark a line starting from the middle wicket. This will make it easier for you to know where your wickets are while you are batting. Make careful you draw the line parallel to the middle wicket with the end of your bat. A guard line is what is being used here.
Tapping the bat on the ground line
The bowler will know you’re ready to bat if you tap on the guard line. Avoid tapping the ground too firmly. To preserve your body form, make sure your bat is as straight as possible at all times.
While batting
Keep your lead leg in front whenever you have to smash the ball while using momentum to swing your bat backward. Your bat should be raised to your rear shoulder while pointing straight up into the air. Step forward to hit the ball if it is low; if it is high, step back to step on the blackboard.
Eye on the ball
Never lose sight of the goal. You may determine the position you need to be in to hit the ball by following it until it pitches. Decide which shot to take as the ball approaches you. Drive to attempt long shots if the ball pitches in the sweet area, but take a defence shot if it pitches too high or low. One of the most crucial cricket batting techniques for beginners to keep in mind and adhere to is this.
