Details +Playing a 'straight bat' is an important technique for batsmen in cricket. It refers to the positioning of the bat in relation to the body, ensuring that the bat is in line with the line of the delivery and is not angled in any direction. This technique helps the batsman to play shots along the ground, as well as defending the ball, reducing the risk of giving away a dismissal. It also allows the batsman to play the ball in the direction of the bowler, which can be beneficial in terms of scoring runs and dominating the game. Furthermore, playing with a straight bat is essential for controlling the power of the ball and increasing the chances of the ball bouncing off the bat safely.
