Select your Cricket bat as per your batting traits

Lucknow: 'Cricket bats' have travelled a long journey since the inception of the sport. Initially, the cricketers used to carry a maximum of two bats along during any series, but as the time progressed, today the batsmen carry a big array of bats which are beautifully designed as per the requirements and wish of any particular batsman.

The 'specifications' of the bats are set as per the batting style of the batsman. If the batsman is like Joe Root, the bat will have a 'fat sweet spot' and great balance for ensuring a long inning whenever he goes out to face the opponent, while if he is someone like Chris Gayle, the bat will be have maximum edge thickness and side profiling for helping the batsman in destroying the opposition attack.
