Definition
In cricket batting, timing refers to the precise moment the bat makes contact with the ball. Good timing allows the batsman to hit the ball with power and control, using the ball’s own pace rather than forcing it.
Why it matters (in Poovi’s context)
Excellent timing is fundamental to playing strokes effectively, including the backfoot punch, enabling batsmen to score runs with elegance and efficiency.
