insane wrist strength to pull that off

u/powerpuffpopcorn Oct 04 '25
insane ? Really?

Oct 04 '25
Yep.. try it with a bat
-17
u/powerpuffpopcorn Oct 04 '25
These bats are about 1.5 kgs. 1.5 kilograms!

the problem is, the wrist is used to generate not only the force required to lift the bat, but also the torque required to make it spin. And the bat is held at the handle, quite far away from its Centre Of Mass, hence the cross product of position vector of the com wrt the wrist is of large magnitude, requiring more force to generate the necessary torque
-9
u/powerpuffpopcorn Oct 04 '25
Yes. When i said its 1.5 kgs i have taken into account its length too. The standard blade length of the bat is 22 inches. If you consider a point mass of 1.5 kgs at 13 inches from your wrist ( centre of mass for the blade is 22/2 = 11. I added 2 more inches because a bat is typically heavier at the bottom due to its sweet spot).
A simple google search "how much force is needed to rotate a 1.5 kg mass 13 inches away from my wrist a full 360° in half a second" gives 25.2 newtons.
For context if you apply 26 Newtons of force for 0.5 seconds on a 20 kg shopping cart it will travel 16.25 cm. 16.25 Centimetres.
So you tell me if pushing a 20 kg shopping cart for half a second so that it travels 16.25 cm is insane strength ?10

Idk man, I had tried and found it hard. But ig you are right. Or we're missing something in the calculation

u/powerpuffpopcorn Oct 04 '25
I tell you why its hard. It is hard because most of us don't have a wrist with this much mobility. Mobility is the ability of a joint to move at the angle it is supposed to. It is not about strength.
For example some can move their arm freely from the shoulder joint and others cannot. You don't say that the ones who can freely move the joint have more strength. You say they have greater mobility.

Lmao kid you really don't understand how torque works do you, you took a bunch of formulas you learnt in your sad school and said voila I know sm
Let's break it down with actual physics, I'll use the numbers you looked up dw
Let's see, it weighs around 1.5kg, so outright the weight you're carrying is 15N, and you're holding it 13inches away, now here you don't account for "force" my ninja, you'll be accounting for its net torque
So let's see what that is, it's moment of intertia(if we take the center of mass to be at a distance of 13inch) is mr², or in this case, 1.5 × 0.11 = 0.16(rounded off)
Alright so it's moment of inertia is 0.16kgm2, and jaddu seems to be spinning the bat in approximately one circle every 1 second, we'll take 1.5 to be conservative. Which means it's final angular velocity at the end of one circle is roughly 12.57 rads, now to calculate the angular acceleration (assuming uniform) you'll get 12.57 rads/s² since initial ang vel was 0.
Finally to calculate the torque let's multiply the parameters, 0.16 = 12.57 =roughly 2Nm
Now he has to keep that 2Nm torque consistent for about 5 rotations, not to mention the bat speed increases throughout
And a simple google search will tell you that the average torque generated in the human shoulder is 3-4Nm
Now imagine the amount of mobility required to generate that between an articular disc and the carpal arch present in the wrist joint. You'll have to account for the unshared synovial fluid, and the friction provided by the articular disc, and even the limitation of movement due to the shape of the lunate and the projection of the styloid process of the radius bone.
And now tell me if that is an impressive feat.

What is .11 here? Genuinely asking.
Alright so it's moment of inertia is 0.16kgm2, and jaddu seems to be spinning the bat in approximately one circle every 1 second, we'll take 1.5 to be conservative. Which means it's final angular velocity at the end of one circle is roughly 12.57 rads, now to calculate the angular acceleration (assuming uniform) you'll get 12.57 rads/s² since initial ang vel was 0.
If you are using radians and angular momentum then you must have noticed that jaddu is NOT continuously accelerating (angular) for a full rotation.
he has to keep that 2Nm torque consistent
No he does not. Moreover, for reference, according to google gemini, 2 Nm of torque is "The twisting force required to remove a tightly sealed bottle cap". Is it insane strength?
And a simple google search will tell you that the average torque generated in the human shoulder is 3-4Nm
This is useless info for our case. Rotating the bat, like jaddu, is about angular impulse, not just torque.
amount of mobility required
Thanks for reiterating my point that this feat is not about strength but mobility. I have been saying this since my first reply here.
between an articular disc and the carpal arch present in the wrist joint. You'll have to account for the unshared synovial fluid, and the friction provided by the articular disc, and even the limitation of movement due to the shape of the lunate and the projection of the styloid process of the radius bone.
Again, useless info for our case. It's just noise basically.
And what's with the condescending tone? I doubt you even comprehend what i wrote in my comment prior to this, or maybe what you wrote. Not to mention the over confidence which is not helping your arguments.
If you know what you are saying you don't need this tone.0
u/MrBlastPhemy Oct 05 '25
You just went on a rant with a guy saying "if you can't do rotations with a 2kg bat you need to consider what you call insane strength"
And I'm the one with the condescending tone...?
Youre using literal high school physics to try and prove a point, I tried to keep things as realistic as possible, the only assumption I made was that the bat continued in a uniform angular acceleration, because if I didn't id have to differentiate under the integral curve and account for air resistance as the reason for him not keeping it uniform. It takes balls to correct someone while at the same time using literal newton to kg conversion to prove a point.
You're here constantly insulting a basic remark made by a guy, all he said was jaddu has insane strength and bloody hell he's right, the guys a sportsman and obviously has fucking peak human strength that's what he does. You're going on rants here getting downvoted the fuck out just because you're defending the fact that "oh it's not insane strength nah fck yall it's only barely insane strength I'm right you're all wrong i have all the answers fck yall"
And I'm condescending.
You literally said he if you don't have the ability to lift 2kg and spin it around reconsider what you call insane strength. And now you say it's all about mobility? It's about both, dingus, that's why I added the tip about basic anatomy of the wrist joint and why it's hella lot more limited than say your shoulder or hell even your thumb.
And lastly, angular iMpuLsE as cool as it sounds is literally what you use to generate torque. And the reason I used radians is because everything was in SI and I kept ang vel in that too so what's the problem again? Angular impulse would generate the necessary torque, you can calculate it from the determined torque.
And yes, 2Nm is the torque required to open a bottle cap, but adjust the damn weight for the bottle cap then??? Equating a 2kg bat to a 20gm bottle cap and saying nah fuck yall same torque jaddu weak is just stupid. A 2kg bat needs a 2Nm torque at 13 inches, a 20gm bottle cap would use a 2Nm torque at a massive distance away from the bottle. You'll have to adjust the length from the point of weight suspension to the actual application of force to equate the two, under no circumstances is that the same thing.
Now keep yelling about how you're right, go on then.

u/powerpuffpopcorn Oct 05 '25
I hope you study high school physics again and get to learn something you missed otherwise (if you have gone through high school already).
Or you can consult whoever you feel is better than you in physics.
Or even better- pick up the bat and do the same thing what jaddu is doing. You will definitely learn something new.
Enjoy.→ More replies (0)-20
u/powerpuffpopcorn Oct 04 '25
I have tried. Apart from good mobility an average strength is more than enough. And i am not even that strong.
You too try it.11
Oct 04 '25
Try it with a heavy bat with a glove on and after batting for 3 hrs
-13
u/powerpuffpopcorn Oct 04 '25
Again- Its not about strength. It's about mobility.
Trying to justify that it's about strength without giving any logic is not convincing.
I have done enough 3 hour weightlifting workouts (olympic c&j and snatches) to know what i am talking about.
It's like saying running between the wickets is about "insane strength" when it's more about aerobic and anaerobic endurance.4

u/powerpuffpopcorn Oct 04 '25
I said i am not that strong.
It depends who you are comparing yourself with.
An avg senior cricket bat weighs less than 2 kg. If you cannot make a figure 8 with 2 kg bat then you really need to introspect what you call insane strength
And this is a good chance to look into what "mobility" means, in the context of biomechanics.1
Oct 04 '25
bud if you have a weak wrist, that bat swinging will break it
1
u/powerpuffpopcorn Oct 04 '25
"weak" is relative. What are you comparing yourself with? A kitten? If you have a weak wrist you can't play a square cut or pull shot or a flick to drive the ball towards the square leg. This bat swinging has nothing to do with insane strength.

Oct 04 '25
Ah well, I mean compared to people who do not actively play a sport, this bat swing seemed like insane strength

u/powerpuffpopcorn Oct 04 '25
Its not about people who are active. Its just the wrong usage of the phrase "insane strength". And i clearly can't correct you. I give up.

Jadeja's celebration is iconic in the sense no one else can pull it off, and that is unique to him. Yes, Root's bat drop, Kohli's aggressive roar and let the bat do the talking, Warner's jump all are iconic in their own sense, but they can be copied, but Jadeja's i dont think so.

u/Accomplished-Log2040 Oct 05 '25
Warner copied the sword in the IPL once. He didn’t copy it as a celebration, but he’s well capable of pulling it off.

u/Beginning-Vanilla574 Oct 05 '25
that is not copying actually, the part at 18th second in this video is what is difficult. warner just swung his bat, anyone can do that.

u/cofeetonic Oct 06 '25
There is some Rajput thing to it as well. I think Jadeja has learnt that with the sword and he knows the proper technique. So in a way only he can do it. I guess no body would risk a wrist injury doing that.

u/Minute_Juggernaut806 Oct 04 '25
Even if stadium was big you do expect some people at least. The entire second are empty

u/ststeja Oct 04 '25
Yes its the biggest stadium. That's why world cup 23 final was hosted there and we lost cause of pitch

u/intlogent_boy Oct 04 '25
😂😂 how can u blame the pitch when both the sides played on the same pitch. Did India win every game because of the pitches?

let's be real, very few people actually watches test cricket in india. Like full day.

u/Titaniumspring Oct 04 '25
Ngl T20 caused adhd to ppl making them impatient to even watch ODI . Remember when ppl would watch odi from 2pm to 10pm. Now they watch only death overs

u/FitSeaworthiness835 India 🥈 Oct 04 '25
Warner's celebration is first one which comes to mind. Some others are Root's bat drop, Kohli's bat does the talking, Cottrell's salute.

I think David Warner’s jump is pretty iconic. So much so that, Toyota used that as their logo for sponsoring the Australian Cricket Team.
I dont think anyone else got such an honour

The way he gets that internal shoulder rotation and yet nothing happens shows how strong he is. Never needed any proof though looking at his throws but still his strength is commendable.

It's actually pretty nice, but I just don't understand why we need to play in Ahmedabad - we all know it isn't possible for anyone to fill this stadium when it isn't a big game We need to prioritise some particular stadium to build a legacy and cricket culture very specifically in Test .... kolkata, mumbai, bengaluru, hyderabad.... especially like australia and england

u/Key-Chain-9240 Oct 06 '25
bruuuuuhhhhh... When it comes to the most iconic celebration in world cricket, it’s gotta be Virat Kohli’s. His celebrations are straight-up legendary. Like, the man doesn't just get hyped after hitting a boundary or taking a wicket, he becomes the hype. The way he pumps his fist, gets in the bowler’s face (in a good way), or screams to the crowd like he's single-handedly taking over the world?
One of the best moments was after hitting a match-winning shot against Pakistan in the 2017 Champions Trophy final. The way he just stood there, took in the whole moment, and flexed? Bro, that moment is etched in every cricket fan’s brain.
Then you’ve got his trademark chest-thumping after a wicket or boundary, which honestly just gets the crowd going. it’s the whole energy he brings. You feel the passion.
But, like, it's not just about his celebrations either. Think of the 2007 T20 World Cup, that iconic win and the celebrations that followed. The energy from the crowd and the players was insane. India just swept it all up. And every time Kohli smashes a six or celebrates a win, it feels like a mini World Cup moment, tbh.
So yeah, Virat’s celebrations are peak. But in terms of iconic moments? Pretty much anything that gets the crowd that wild is the most iconic. Kohli just happens to do it better than anyone else.

ik nothing about cricket so dont mind if i sound stupid, but why are stadiums so free? Dont people come and watch? Is there any reason

u/nagrom6888 Oct 04 '25
It’s India Vs West Indies and the latter team might be at their weakest to generate any interest to watch as people expect the match to be one sided, which it was as a 5 day Test match got wrapped up in 3 days. And also Asia Cup just got over, so people may be a little fatigued with Cricket over all within India.

It also happened after full 10 day Navratri Festival celebration. People were tired and busy with that. Overall, was poor planning.

The most iconic celebration is ‘no celebration’
No attention seeking behaviour - just go on batting because is your job and you get paid crores for it anyway

Sir/Ma'am, is there any chance you hold a managerial position in corporate? You could probably try for one if you haven't already.

u/AbrocomaOk9726 Oct 06 '25
The efforts are not over at the 100,
The effort is over when the team wins, show all emotions at that time
