Is this one of Virat Kohli's actual bats?

The owner of this bat lives in Dubai and had this bat sent to me to review and prepare and send back to him. I don't know what he paid, but I know he purchased it from Crown Cricketer.

I have tried out different camera equipment, lighting and microphone for the first time so love to hear your opinion on that change below.

It is kohlis profile, but remember he has bats for every condition, high middle, low middle, thick toe, light, heavy, high spine, concaved , full shape and etc. with all that profile changes, so won’t be surprised if that’s his bat.

[@krakencricket7617]

Great review Marc. 37,000 watches in a little over a month so far! I'm not surprised this one is getting a lot of attention. I'm with you, I reckon the marking on the toe is more the players' shape. It's a great selling tool though, as it gives the buyer some hope that it may have been in a batch destined for that pro player.

[@villager0484]

I actually noticed logo "s" on his bat edges, which is ss

[@kartikpatel24]

Funny that you had to clarify what your videos are about!!! Lol! Commen sense is a rare find !!!😜😜😜

[@mrrobot84]

hi mate, whats that tool you measure the spine with called?

[@tomphillips105]

Does the grain being angled on the toe have any performance impact?

[@stevecheshire5046]

Definitely a genuine players bat Made for the pros. No engraving on the edge is a dead giveaway.

[@CricketBatInfo]

i think i picked up on that, interestingly after this bat there was a flood of PE's with stamps and stickers from SS. impossible to find these now.

[@stevecheshire5046]

​@CricketBatInfo nearly impossible. But I have some pretty awesome contacts that know Jatin personally and I have just been offered 3 genuine SS bats that were made for kholi. I can only afford 1 so there's 2 left. None are over 1145grams. Stickered up in their latest reserve edition stickers. And 1 in latest gladiator stickers. Very very rare. I wish I could get all 3 lol

SS grips weigh like 45 - 50grams I always replace it with Kookaburra players grips which weigh 30grams. Just a tip if you wanna lower the weight and the SS ripple grips aren’t very good

[@sekhonno]

heavy grips make better balance

@@CricketBatInfo if you can find a focal length that allows you keep focus as the bat moves around, even though the auto focus is sooo smooth it is a little slow. That's it. Nearly perfect 👌

I love the bat so much

[@Arushgamer2016]

I love virat sir

[@chihstisahab619]

Yes He is the best

[@Nazimuddin-tv3wt]

Can you please measure width to see if it's exactly 108 mm? Virat is a bit fussy about his bats. The reason why he rejected this bat is because he likes heart wood on inside edge. The bat he used against Australia today proves that. Another reason could be the grains not running straight .This bat is pressed a bit on firmer side. Most importantly he probably didn't like how it pinged. It coukd be many various reasons. I have a bat made for virat. It pings awesome. It has 18 grains. Thick oval handle. 28 mm toe. 40mm edge. I'm surprised he didn't pick mine. This shows how picky he is when choosing his bats. Plus sareen sports makes many bats for him each season but he only picks as many as he needs and leaves the rest behind. I'm really pleased with mine.

What exactly do we consider a VK profile to be? whatever the MRF branded VK grand master being sold at the time? or what VK himself has in his kit? It’s known fact most international players have varying profiles for different conditions and continents...

It’s a marketing gimmick by Indian bat makers.

[@CricketBatInfo]

Everyone is doing it

[@stevecheshire5046]

Yes there's alot doing dodgy stuff but I can confirm this bat was definitely made for VK. I have many genuine SS players bats. I even know the 2guys that write the names on the toe at SS. And the hand writing is a dead give away. People saying its not vk shape or it's just a gimmick, just don't know or believe. Yes there's many fakes out there. But this is not 1 of them.

Rob Lynn that is not a standard ton profile bro, if it was then the spine will run all the way down toe and have a duck bill
