how does a gulel work? same way. This the reason fast bowlers need to have flexibility in muscles rather than big hard muscles.

This technique can't help get proper range and speed in the shot. He will have to work on this.

 

Just go grab any stick item in your house and hold it like a cricket it bat. Try to play a pull shot with it and also try to play a pull shot using Kishan's style of play. You will notice that you are not able to put full pressure or force on the stick/bat when playing a pull shot using Kishan's style where back hand is left behind. 

 

Things which are wrong

If you are a right hand batsman, your left hand will always come out when playing a pull shot. So since Kishan is leftie his right hand is coming out when Kishan is playing a pull shot. His front hand(right hand) is going to the direction of the shot but his back hand is left behind which needs to also follow towards the direction of the shot so that he can put more pressure on the bat to connect the ball more firmly. He is not doing that and it is something which needs to be worked or else he will be found out against quality short balls and on big grounds.

Thanks for answering my question. I have written a post on the same above as per my observation.See if it makes any sense to you.

One thing which separates Indian batsmen with batsmen from other countries is that almost all our batsmen are orthodox, textbook type shot playing batsmen. They don't even play sweep shots regularly. Be it stroke makers like Kohli and Rohit or defensive Vijay, everyone plays textbook style cricket. No chanders like wierd stance, Smith like movement or Pakistani batsmen like one sided sloggers.

many juniors are now advised tighter bottom hand grips ,it is specially needed if you are looking to pull quicker bowlers ,very hard to pull them with soft bottom hand.

nowadays ind are lot better at pulling ,i am sure they have tighter bottom hands than their predecessors

Advise should work to an extent. But cricket bat is heavier than a tennis racket and tennis ball coming at you is a lot easier to put away with one hand back-hand shot than putting away a cricket ball with one hand shot with a heavier bat.

 

Kishan shouldn't change his complete technique of his regular natural batting but should actually work on just certain shots to bring the best results. 

 

What people do not realize is that there will be times this technique might not work when playing a good slow ball spinning away from the batsman and when batsman has to use his full force from his shoulders. Also when it is drizzling  and the ball gets wet, at times a wet ball will be hard to put away.

if the ball is on the leg side then you can use the pace of the ball and hit it away on the leg side with one hand, the difficult one is when it is rising on the off stump, using one hand then can be dangerous.... dhoni also hits this one handed shot sometimes against the spinners for 4s and 6s

Yeah and also as i wrote above about the balll which turns away from the batsman at last minute and if the a batsman has to slog those deliveries, it will be not good enought to try.

That was such an eyesore....I had to watch this a lesson in modern 6 hitting over and over and over again

The 3rd 6 is famously called the 6 heard all over the world and the first 6's are called dear Steyn "Welcome to India"

Can anyone deny that was the most elegant 6 ever hit...almost like text book drives going for 6

Yes, I do not agree. The most elegant premeditated shot to me was Tendulkar of Caddick

 

 

 

And when hitting and timing, nothing comes close to Yuvi's timing of Brett Lee. This was one for the ages. That was one of the biggest sixes which looked "elegant"  on a extremely fast delivery. It was 148k from Lee and Yuvi timed it to perfection. That was as i said "one for the ages."
