T A Shekhar Pace Bowling Camp

🏏  T A Shekhar Pace Bowling Camp 🌞

T. A. Sekar is one of the most respected figures in Indian cricket, with a remarkable contribution spanning over four decades in developing the country’s fast-bowling talent. In collaboration with the legendary Dennis Lillee at the MRF Pace Foundation, he was instrumental in producing as many as 20 Test fast bowlers for India.His coaching philosophy is built on a blend of science, discipline, and mental toughness. As Head Coach at the Pace Foundation, his structured and scientific approach ensured that not asingle fast bowler suffered a stress fracture under his watch. He emphasized gradual progression—beginning with a few steps, advancing to walking drills, then short, medium, and finally full run-ups. Instead one-size-fits-all model, Sekar tailored individualized trainingprograms to suit each bowler’s unique body type and strengths.

Having also coached in the United States, Sekar strongly advocates continuity in training for long-term success. To maintain steady progress, he will now be offering online coaching sessions twice a month. Each session will accommodate two bowlers via Zoom, lasting 45 minutes, at a cost of $140 per session. These fortnightly sessions are designed to provide consistent monitoring, personalized guidance, and structured support as bowlers refine their skills and grow into stronger, more efficient fast bowlers.

Aravind S, a student of T. A. Sekar, will be assisting him during these online sessions. A former trainee at the MRF Pace Foundation under the guidance of T. A. Sekar and Dennis Lillee,Aravind played premier division league cricket in Tamil Nadu and also represented the TNCA President’s XI in the prestigious Buchi Babu tournament.He is a BCCI NCA Level 2 and ICC Level 3 certified coach, with over two decades of coaching experience. Aravind is the only student of T. A. Sekar who has deeply understood the nuances of fast bowling and has successfully produced fast bowlers who have gone on to play for India U-19, Ranji Trophy (Tamil Nadu), and U-15 US zonal teams (through online coaching).His coaching style, much like his mentor’s, is a unique blend of science, discipline,and a process-driven approach, making him a valuable guide for aspiring fast bowlers.
