Hi Rohit,

Power when batting comes from proper technique and timing of the ball. To develop your power, it`s important that you develop your technique so that you`re hitting the ball at the right time, with the best, most powerful part of the bat.

Power also comes from the feet and hips. Get them set and use them to create a base to generate power from. By trying to over-hit the ball and generating more power with your upper body, it`s likely you will lose balance and play a poor shot.

Use this video below to get an understanding of how to generate more power.
