The bat that he used in the current test to score 188 looked ugly. Uneven grains going all across the blade.. uneven heartwood. Goes to show looks and performance are entirely diff things .. :D

And currently trying to find various articles about players and their bats found one from Kholi Australian tour where he got his bats lighter.

The inner geek is interested in the top players bats and why and what they use.

I was really surprised at how light his bats are. I would have thought that he would use something 2lb 10ozs plus.

The bat he's holding up looks to taper out towards the bottom
I'm sure it's just the camera angle, but has anyone shaped a profile like that?

A lot of makers narrow the blade going upwards

No way
Didn't know that
Your substantial cricket knowledge never fails to impress
Which bat makers are more prone to this practice? Out of curiosity

Our pro this year was from Mumbai, sure he plays for the same club that Rahane used to. He had a bat that was off Rahane, was nothing special to look at. It obviously had been well used by both Rahane & by our Pro. Wasn't very heavy around 2.8-2.9

I think "Kholi" means bedroom in Hindi Language.
