Coaching philosophy

It goes beyond technique

Punam believes these five habits are essential to becoming a complete cricketer.

  • Consistent practice

    Small, regular improvements in the nets add up in matches.

  • Physical fitness

    A fit body holds technique together through a long innings.

  • A strong mindset

    Staying calm and clear when the pressure is on.

  • Self-discipline

    Doing the basics right, every single day.

  • Willingness to learn

    Being open to feedback and always asking how to get better.

Understand your game, trust your preparation and keep improving every day.
