Hi Abhishek,

It is legal to change grips.  However you are better off to modify your shakehand grip.  All you need to do is take the 3 fingers off the handle and put them behind the handle in a fist.  Then you are basically controlling the bat with your thumb and forefinger.  This will allow you to use you wrist in the same motion as with the penhold grip.
