Welcome to Cricket at @kalayu
Cricket has been a lifelong passion for me, and I’m thrilled to share that passion with you here at @kalayu. For me, cricket is far more than just a game—it’s a way to connect, challenge yourself, and grow both on and off the field. Whether you’ve never held a bat before or you’re looking to refine your skills, my goal is to create a welcoming environment where you can learn, play, and have fun. This is your space to develop cricket skills, build confidence, and experience the joy of the game firsthand.
What Is Cricket?
If you’re new to cricket, it’s basically a bat-and-ball game played between two teams of eleven players on a large field, usually with a 22-yard pitch in the center. The basic goal is simple: score runs by hitting the ball and running between wickets, while the opposing team tries to get the batters out and limit their runs. But cricket is much more than that. It’s a sport rich in strategy, technique, and tradition.
Bowling styles range from fast pace that keeps you alert to spin bowling that tests your focus and timing. Batting isn’t just about power; it’s about timing, placement, and patience. And the fielding side requires sharp reflexes, teamwork, and smart positioning. Cricket can be a fast-paced thrill or a strategic battle of wits—it’s a game for every kind of player.
How I Teach Cricket
At @kalayu, coaching cricket is about making learning hands-on, practical, and enjoyable. I start with the essentials—how to grip the bat, basic bowling actions, and proper fielding techniques. From there, we build up your skills through drills, practice games, and real-match scenarios. I believe in personalized guidance, so no matter your level, you’ll get tips and corrections tailored just for you.
I also emphasize mental preparation because cricket isn’t just physical—it’s about staying calm under pressure, focusing through long innings, and reading the game as it unfolds. My training balances skill-building with fun. We laugh, we learn, and most importantly, we celebrate each milestone, big or small.
