Which are the top Indian bat sponsors of all time?

It goes without saying that a bat is crucial to the sport of cricket. The bat has long since developed as an effective advertising medium. These advertising slots allow batters to earn substantial sums of money in addition to helping the firm acquire a lot of attention for their companies. Virat Kohli, for instance, is the cricketer who makes the most money through endorsements of bats. He reportedly makes close to 100 crores from MRF sponsorship of his bat over an eight-year period. Here are some of the greatest Indian bat sponsors in history.

MRF

The largest tyre manufacturer in India, MRF, is also the most well-known company when it comes to cricket bat sponsorships. Virat Kohli, arguably the biggest figure in sports right now, is linked with them. Previously, they also had legends like Sachin Tendulkar, Brian Lara, and Steve Waugh playing with their brand name on their bats. Even AB de Villiers used a bat with the MRF logo on it.

Reebok

The bulk of the young Indian cricketers’ bats were sponsored by Reebok, and several of them served as brand ambassadors. Perhaps the most well-known cricketer to wear Reebok was MS Dhoni. RBK or Reebok bat logos were worn by two well-known athletes, including MS Dhoni and even MS Gambhir. Before going public, this high-end corporation supported Uthappa, Rohit Sharma, and Yuvraj.

CEAT

Another significant tyre manufacturer, CEAT Tyres, has sponsored some of cricket’s greatest legends. Rohit Sharma is currently their best-known player. They also sponsor Ajinkya Rahane’s bats, who recently rejoined the test team. Shubman Gill and Ishan Kishan, two young Indian batters, also utilise bats sponsored by CEAT.

SS

SS, which is recognised for creating top-notch cricket equipment, is one of the greatest makers of cricket bats. One of the leading companies in India, Sareen Sports (SS) is based in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh. A potential to sponsor some of India’s top batsmen presented itself to SS. They are still well-known in India because of their premium bats and some astute marketing. VVS Laxman and Shikhar Dhawan have both used SS bats in the past.

Spartan

Mahendra Singh Dhoni, one of India’s all-time greatest cricketers, has transformed Indian cricket with his leadership abilities and self-assurance. A three-year, 13 crore deal with an Australian company called Spartan was reached to have their logo appear on MS Dhoni’s bat while he hits sixes and leads his team to victories. Many companies have sponsored his bat because the former Indian captain is often a significant magnet for businesses.

Britannia

Britannia is well-known to Indians because of its cuisine. A handful of the illustrious Indian players had been convinced by the company to have its logo painted on their bats. When the team was at its best, players like Sehwag, Laxman, and Dravid played with their names on their willows. Despite the fact that Mohammad Kaif was also associated with Britannia. Even though Britannia hasn’t sponsored bats in a very long time, it is still regarded as one of the innovators of this novel concept.
