Aim: The study was conducted to determine the relationship between selected biomechanical variables and the performance of the Pull shot in cricket. Material and Methods: Twenty male cricket players who had participated in the Inter-University Cricket tournament or any National level tournament were selected as subjects for this study. The help of digital photography was used to film the subjects in the sagittal and frontal planes during the pull shot performance. The joint point method was used to obtain the values of selected angular kinematics variables from the developed stick figures. The performance in Pull shot performance of left-handed batters was recorded based on the evaluation of the technique of the subjects by three judges on selected batting skills. A ten-point scale was used. For each batter, the average of the three judges was considered the final score. It is hypothesised that there would be no significant relationship between linear and angular kinematic variables and the performance in Batting skills. Analysis of Data: To determine the degree of relationship between selected biomechanical variables and pull shot performance, Pearson’s product-moment correlation Method, Multiple correlation, and regression equation were used. Results: A significant relationship between (Pull shot performance at moment Preparation Phase) and ankle joint (right), knee joint (right), and shoulder joint (left), as the correlation coefficient values were found to be higher than the tabulated value. At the .05 level of significance. A significant relationship between (Pull shot performance at moment execution) and the shoulder joint (right), the shoulder joint (left), and the elbow joint (left), as the correlation coefficient values were found to be higher than the tabulated value. At the .05 level of significance. Since the researcher has calculated the relationship individually, this may be attributed to the fact that the angles at different joints mentioned in this study, such as the Knee joint, Ankle joint, Hip joint, Shoulder joint, Elbow joint, and Wrist joint. Change from one individual to another according to their Anthropometric measurements. i.e. his height, leg length, arm length
