The shot is played with the aim of hitting the ball into the top corner of Zone B on the leg side.

The indoor cricket pull shot is an attacking stroke played to deliveries pitched short and on or outside leg/middle stump. The stroke is played with the bat horizontal to pitch (cross-bat), and is hit when the ball is directly in line with the body. The aim is to hit the ball late and into the ground, with the ball ideally hitting the top corner of Zone B on the off side (See Indoor cricket court). The indoor cricket cut shot is an attacking stroke played to balls pitched short and outside off-stump. Following is a list of other strokes that use the same technique of down-ups. Many indoor cricket strokes are played late in the trajectory of a delivery. Down-ups can also be played off the back foot for shorter pitched deliveries. The leg-side down-up is the hardest to play, as it requires the batsman to play in front of his legs. The stroke is most commonly used to play full-pitched balls slightly outside off-stump, on the stumps, or slightly outside leg-stump. The down-up is typically played as a forward attacking shot, in which the batsman steps forward with his front foot to hit the ball. This technique varies from outdoor cricket, where a batsman plays the ball in front of the body, hitting the ball for power and distance, rather than to hit the ball into the ground. This causes the ball to bounce sharply off the ground, ideally propelling the ball into the top corner of the net, preventing any fielders from making contact with the ball. The down-up is played by hitting the ball at the latest possible moment. An indoor cricketer in stance ready to play a down-up.
