Sagar Rai |

Counterfeit badminton rackets, fake-sticker English willow cricket bats, and uncertified gym equipment cost Indian players thousands of rupees every season and cause avoidable wrist, elbow, and knee injuries. Before ordering sports equipment online, check these five verification markers.

The 5-Point Sports Equipment Authenticity Checklist

  2. Manufacturer Holograms & Laser Serial Numbers: Genuine Yonex rackets feature laser-engraved shaft/cone serials and 3D holograms; genuine SS, SG, and DSC bats carry tamper-evident splice holograms.
  3. GST-Compliant Tax Invoice: Every genuine distributor sale carries a valid GSTIN invoice (KIBI Sports Private Limited GSTIN: 29AAICK3153F1ZI, CIN: U92490UP2020PTC134722).
