Hi Varun,

It sounds like you need to get the stroke more vertical.  So get the bat finishing lower.  This will help to keep the ball lower.

Chopping and pushing is very much a matter of getting the angle of your bat right to keep the ball at a good height.

It will come with experience and training.
