Title: Virat Kohli's bat
Post by: yvk3103 on February 20, 2011, 01:58:33 AM: This is the biggest bat I have seen anyone using in the international circuit.

http://www.espncricinfo.com/icc_cricket_worldcup2011/content/image/501948.html?object=381449;page=2

it is huge....

I am very sure he does not use a heavy bat, so this bat has a lot of woog for a 2.10 or even a 2.11 (but i think it will be more of 2.9/2.10)

Post by: Cover_Drive on February 20, 2011, 06:35:12 AM: Its HUGE!!!

I always thought Shahid Afridi bats would be thickest but was proved wrong, but Kohli's is simply monster!!

Post by: awp on February 20, 2011, 06:47:06 AM: do we know who makes the bats for Nike players?
or could it simply be absolutely anything and he stickers them up?
what did Kohli use before Nike?
Title: Re: Virat Kohli's bat
Post by: pacman75cricket on February 20, 2011, 06:56:47 AM: BAS ? as gloves are BAS
Title: Re: Virat Kohli's bat
Post by: awp on February 20, 2011, 07:04:10 AM: pads are SG but his bat doesn't have the SG stamp on the edge (ala Sewags bat) so BAS is probably a good bet.
Title: Re: Virat Kohli's bat
Post by: Cover_Drive on February 20, 2011, 07:05:37 AM: Its not necessary to have BAS or SG bat if you are using there pads
Title: Re: Virat Kohli's bat
Post by: awp on February 20, 2011, 07:13:04 AM: we know that, what we don't know is what bat it IS.
Title: Re: Virat Kohli's bat
Post by: Talisman on February 20, 2011, 08:06:22 AM: It could be anything, Nike are having bats made in England and India and we all know these players use any brand of bat they want plus sponsors stickers.

The bat looks big, very dry but nothing impossible as the Indians still favour a big edge coupled with low spine in their bats.
Title: Re: Virat Kohli's bat
Post by: peplow on February 20, 2011, 08:07:30 AM: the edges did look huge, i wound sky+ back a few times to see his on one of his pull strokes, i was gobsmacked! But big isnt everything, so i am told!
Title: Re: Virat Kohli's bat
Post by: iand123 on February 20, 2011, 08:26:54 AM: Off topic, but why do Indian players tend to have a mismatch of kit? Most other international players from the other big nations are tied to one brand (although we all known the bat isn't necessarily the same brand)
Title: Re: Virat Kohli's bat
Post by: hell4leather cricket on February 20, 2011, 08:43:12 AM: could possibly be a bas vampire as he is related to the kohli family who own Bas
Title: Re: Virat Kohli's bat
Post by: sgcricket on March 14, 2011, 05:16:24 AM: i don't think he is related to the family. Taruwar Kohli who opened for the winning side in the U19 WC2008 is part of the BAS family.
Title: Re: Virat Kohli's bat
Post by: awp on March 14, 2011, 06:06:16 AM: are Taruwar and Virat not related then?

Post by: SkipperJ on March 14, 2011, 03:33:29 PM: Kohli seems to sometimes use a GM catalyst with Nike stickers on top (shoddy sticker job if you ask me!)

Although I'm not sure it's the same as the other "monster" bat

Title: Re: Virat Kohli's bat
Post by: procricket on June 23, 2013, 07:58:39 PM: Not sure he seems to be alternating between a Sareen and this one....

Looked like a salix at first glance....

i saw his spyder bats when i was last down at the shop with gary, some very nice willow i think he gave him a new batch while he was over here in england for the trophy, also saw virat kohli's spikes which were nike trainers which gary had spiked, so i wouldnt be suprised if kohli has a few spyder bats knocking around

Post by: justnotcricket86 on June 24, 2013, 02:43:39 PM: Dhoni picked up a couple of Spyders when they came over for the ICC.

Gary wanted to sell me a Dhoni bat when I went down, tried hard to resist

To me it looks like a bit of SRT profile.

Off topic, but why do Indian players tend to have a mismatch of kit? Most other international players from the other big nations are tied to one brand (although we all known the bat isn't necessarily the same brand)
I think it is because their sponsorship deals cover the bat only.
