Where can you buy cricket bats online in India?

KIBI Sports stocks over 600 cricket bats in English willow and Kashmir willow, from junior sizes through Harrow, short handle and long handle, within a bats range of more than 800 products that also includes table tennis bats. Bats are sourced from authorised distributors and carry manufacturer warranty where the brand offers one. Checkout is prepaid and shipping is pan-India.

Which cricket bat size should you buy?

Bat size follows the height of the player rather than age. Junior sizes 4 to 6 suit players up to roughly 5 feet 3 inches, Harrow suits players between about 5 feet 3 and 5 feet 9, and short handle is the standard adult size above that. Long handle is made for taller players. When a batter falls between sizes, the smaller bat is easier to control.

How do you look after a cricket bat?

English willow bats need knocking-in before match use and a light coat of raw linseed oil on the face and edges, kept away from the splice and the stickers. Kashmir willow is harder and needs far less preparation. Store any bat dry, use a bat cover, and avoid leaving it in a hot car boot or against a damp wall.

Which cricket bat brands does KIBI Sports stock?

The cricket bat range is led by SS and Stanford, alongside DSC, Kookaburra, SG and Cosco, with a longer tail of around 29 brands in total. Which brand suits a player matters far less than the willow grade and the size: an entry-level English willow bat from any of these will outperform a mis-sized bat from a more famous one. All stock is sourced from authorised distributors with manufacturer warranty where the brand offers one.
