Title: Gladiator - V.Kohli
Post by: ursmasti on February 27, 2017, 06:24:04 PM
Subject reads it out V.Kohli - i am not claiming this as Virat Kohli bat but the seller told me it was made for him may be or may not be . Reason i brought this bat is how it looks, weight , size and shape . Pictures would tell you why i brought this . Got this from India from a store in Bangalore . This bat feels really light because of its weight but pings crazy also have very big edges for its weight. Here are the specs

weight - 2.7
edge - 43mm
profile -full
grains - you could see it
ping - excellent
Toe- duckbill

Definitely not a Kolhi bat.... He uses MRF.

Its definitely not a Kohli bat....because they spelt his name correctly on the bottom, and that NEVER happens!

Great stick. I thought vk uses 2lb 9 though ?

Post by: petehosk on February 27, 2017, 10:45:02 PM
Well....to be fair it may not be a Kholi bat, it may be a bat offered but rejected, it may be a sponsored players bat or it may not be.
But whatever question marks there are over the ownership of the bat, one thing is for sure.......

This is a huge bat and looks a fantastic piece of willow! Nice grains, lovely full profile and seriously light!
So still a stunning bat whatever/whoever the bat was made for! In the end, the bat was meant for you  ;)

Title: Re: Gladiator - V.Kohli
Post by: CrickFreak on February 28, 2017, 02:17:20 AM
No offense but not the best looking bat.
But definitely special bit of wood to make such a huge bat at low weight. and if it  pings better than regular bats then who cares :)

Post by: Shinpathy on February 28, 2017, 02:51:22 AM
Extra low density clefts usually aren't the best lookers but boy do they ping well... from personal experience :D

Virat kohli bats are made by SS,however he is sponsored by MRF.

Not just Kohli's bat, it is possible MRF bats are all made by SS .. the MRF shapes look very similar to SS..

Major inconsistency in MRF bats sold to the consumer market, is their handle. It varies very widely from a thin round handle to an exaggerated oval handle. Check out the 4 bats posted by hanif (eclipseallsports) on youtube. He shows 4 MRF grand edition bats and each of them have a different type of handle. I have seen a few MRF bats come with FCS markings on the handle and a few with RNS labelling on the handle. My guess is that MRF sources from multiple vendors.

Excellent piece of willow .. Made for Kohli or not, its truly an outstanding bat. SS makes good bats but their top of the line - Gladiator, TON Reserve & Maximus - they really put some extra effort in making these models very special.

Agreed. There are multiple bat makers who make bats for MRF.

A lot of the new batch MRF is confirmed made by RNS, KG, ZX, and SF.

Most of the non burnt in stamp is RNS Larsons.

I might be interested AFB (I'm in Brisbane). Looking for a Gladiator in harrow for my son. He's not keen on the pencil thin round handles that SS/TON seem to use though. Snapped the handle on his size 6 TON Reserve from GCCC after five uses. GCCC did a good job of getting a custom oval handle fitted when it was repaired.
