Is it necessary to hold the bat in either shake hand or pen hold style?

Hi Vineeth,

It isn't necessary but those grips are tested and tried to be able to allow you to play your strokes well.

If you have found something that suits you better give it a go but also try out the standard grips.

The problem with having two fingers on the back is that you can't move your wrist as well.  It locks your wrist a little so it is best to just have one finger on the back.
