Hi Raihan,

Your grip look sperfectly fine.  You have the thumb and forefinger encircling the handle and then the other 3 fingers spread over the back of the bat.  Some players have the other 3 fingers curled and some have them spread flat.  Both are acceptable and used by different top players.

Take a look at our lesson on the Penhold Techniques.  You will see here that the grip you are using is similar and perfectly legitimate.
