Practicing sweep and reverse-sweep shots vigorously

Regarding the players' practice of these shots, batting coach Vikram Rathore said that this (sweep and reverse sweep) is not something that you can try. You need to practice it. If you have more shots then that is beneficial. We play in a traditional way. Our strength is to play straight with the bat and use our feet. We need to do it well.
