The bat even has some blueish stains on the back. Is there a name for this imperfection? - https://media.gettyimages.com/photos/babar-azam-of-somerset-celebrates-after-reaching-his-century-during-picture-id1272851415?s=2048x2048

Yep I have it on very good authority that it is indeed a TK bat and “borrowed” 😂

He borrowed it for a while then!

I wouldn’t be surprised if these pros have bats from different makers. They handpicked from the best everywhere they go..

I have babar Azam bat from keeley which came from babar Azam last year WC batch then I have exact shape by SS said to be made for BA. Both of them are beast. Their ping and feel are unreal

Johny Bairstow is using a SS bat. Look closely on the edges, there is that S.

Bairstow loves SS. Whenever England last toured Bangladesh is when I first remember his using them.

Surprised GN allow this as I heard they were extremely strict on players using GN bats as part of the contract

Zoom in on his edge in this photo... No GN branding but what looks suspiciously like an SS 'S'.

I fail to understand why a player would do that to be honest. As a regular guy watching cricket, all I would see is that Bairstow is playing with a GN bat and Babar is using an HS bat. 90% of the audience will only see that and wont really bother spotting a sticker on top of a handle for e.g. How would that be sneaky marketing?

I do remember in the past Indian batsmen use to play with stickers of automobile companies etc and the bat would have the TON or SG branding burnt on the edges which was an obvious giveaway. But dont think there is any chance of doing that these days.

Probably a 2-9 bat with single grip and no extras. Not a lot of wood then.

Not sure it’s done on purpose tbh. Just laziness or knowledge that 99% of viewers won’t even see it nevermind care.
