Bat touching the table
Rules
Varun Chaturvedi Asked 12 years ago
If our bat touches the table while playing is it a foul?

Hi Varun,
This is OK, you do not lose a point if your bat touches the table. The only thing that isn't allowed to touch the table is your free hand.
However if you move the table surface you lose the point.
