Sir good coaches tell to hold the bat with thumb on one side and index finger on other side and other 3 fingers loosely on handle.....how firmly should be index finger and thumb be? how loosely should be other 3 fingers?

Hi Hrishikesh,

Keep the grip as light as you possibly can without losing grip of the racket.  In our video on Get a Grip we do a demonstration of how tight to hold the bat.
