Rohit Sharma finds his rhythm in the nets

SportLocation Cricket Desk · 22 Sept 2026

Rohit Sharma works through a compact front-foot stroke in practice, finishing high and then settling straight back into his stance.

Rohit Sharma’s net work here is all about control. He starts compact, bends into the ball and keeps the bat close before letting the stroke run through the line.

The best moment comes in the follow-through: the hands stay firm, the front foot takes the weight and the finish is tidy rather than sprawling. That matters in practice, because it shows the shot is being repeated with shape, not just hit with force.

He then drops straight back into a ready stance, which is the point of the drill. It is not a flourish; it is repetition, balance and a bat path that stays under control through the contact area.
