Dinesh Karthik Gladiator Cricket Bat
« on: May 04, 2018, 05:57:25 PM »

Hello Gents – Got this cricket bat directly from SS back in March 2018 by emailing the customer service.
Made for Dinesh Karthik with DK engraving (no edge stamps) and I was told it was made for him before the commencement of the IPL (Don’t shoot/walk all over me for this info  ;))
Also I have not seen DK engraved cricket bats being sold into retail stores on a regular basis like the reserve, maximus or player edition bats unless the retailer gets one.
I remember crown cricketer in Bangalore had his bats twice if I remember rightly.
The shape is slightly different to the regular SS top end bats but not a huge bat by any means.
It’s a mid to low-end full profile with a SSH but picks up as the weight suggests, and very balanced.
It did come with a blue chevron half grip inside and a full yellow fish scale grip just like the pic Jatin Sareen uploaded on Instagram.
Been knocking it in, initial response, and pressing is very good. Due to work obligations, I was not able to test it properly at the nets yet.
Never used a SSH before, but I do need to get used to it before I plan to make it my match bat.

Below are specs and enjoy the pics.

weight - 2.10ish
edge – 38-39mm (as per ICC rules)
profile –full
blade – standard
handle – super short handle (SSH)
grains – lovey grains
ping - wonderful
Toe- thick unfinished toe with a sharpier haha  :D

Lovely  but not a fan of taping the bottom of a new bat.

There has been a rage of comments on CBF regarding sharpie's on toe and you are telling me is it engraved lol. Obviously not! I am sure you already know it.
