Front foot leg glance is a straight batted front foot shot and it is played to the leg side with a mere flick of the wrists.

The front foot leg glance depends more on the deflection of bat and correct timing rather than a powerful stroke.The shot uses the pace of the bowler.The placement of the ball comes from the flick of the wrists at the time of impact, so the bat face is angled at the instant of connecting with the cricket ball.

Ensure that your head is over the ball, with your weight on your front foot while playing the shot.This helps to keep the ball on the ground.
