Sweet spot is that part of the bat, from where if the ball is hit, the ball will be hit hard. This is the reason why even with low power, when the ball hits this part of the bat, it becomes a boundary. Sometimes it also turns into a six. Let us now tell you where this sweet spot is in the bat. When you look at a cricket bat, there is a place above the toe where the part of the bat is thicker than the rest. This is called sweet spot. If the ball is hit from this place, it goes very far.
There are so many spots in the cricket bat
Only sweet spots are there in the cricket bat. There are no spots. In fact, there are many other types of spots on the bat. Like high sweet spot, medium sweet spot and low sweet spot. The high sweet spot is 250 mm above the bottom of the bat. Whereas, the medium sweet spot is 225 mm above the bottom of the bat. Whereas, the low sweet spot is 210 mm above the lower part of the bat. The batsman uses these sweet spots for the kind of shot he wants to play. Among Indian batsmen, it is said about Virat Kohli and Sachin Tendulkar that they have the best knowledge of these spots.
