Hi Debanjan,
Try to stand more square on. Have your bat ready in the middle and be prepared mentally for the ball to come to either side. That means that you need to think about the ball coming to both sides. Often when we have a preferred side we want the ball to come there and in our minds we only prefer for that side.
