Hi Bhuvaneswar,

There are no rules about holding the bat so you are allowed to hold it with two fingers on the back.  The main reason players don't use two fingers is that it restricts the movement of the wrist.

Crossover Footwork

When you need to reach that really wide ball the regular shuffle step just won't get you there in time so you need to use the crossover step. This is essentially a running action to get you to the ball as fast as possible.
