Cricket Equipment

tanke360

Am a keen cricketer and would maybe like to take some new bats etc home. To my suprise (maybe naive) I haven't found any shops selling cricket equipment... Any tips on where to go?

Jalandhar in Punjab is home to the industry. Most the bats used across the world are manufactured here.

It might help if you told us what town you was in.

As i posted this thread in Delhi i just assumed people would give me options in Delhi... My bad...

So to be perfectly clear; I am looking for places to buy cricket bats in Delhi

shere

OK.

I am sure there are a few shops in Conaught Place. I remember there is one shop close to Pizza hut (inner circle).

The first post in this thread has no mention of Delhi! You are possibly confusing it with this other thread of yours... Day Trip Delhi - Agra (tips please)

Guys, it's in the Delhi forum. I doubt he would ask where to buy cricket bats in Bombay in the Delhi forum!

Ooops

You can get bats all across delhi in any sports shop. I would have told you to go to sadar bazaar (the whole sale market) but i doubt you will be able to find your way in the maze there.. !!

Cricket Equipment
Depending on how much time you have.if u r willing to travel a bit.Meerut is the best place to get Cricket Equipment(approx 2 hours from delhi). There are many local factories there , which specialize n sell these to top cricketer in india n abroad...like SG ,SS, BDM...etc ..otherwise just bump into any sport shop like the one mentioned above...n u shld find them easily...to get them a bit cheaper in delhi u will have to travel to (old delhi) chandni chowk ,there r loads of shop running across the market just for sports equipment.( just dont forget to heckle a bit for good prices )

As menioned by someone before, there are cricket stuff for sale in many shops in Delhi, CP, Karol Bagh ... the usual suspects.

FWIW, you can buy cricket gear in Holland too... there's this club I go to near Amstelveen and one near Den Hague.

raaz, how much of a discount can one expect? I bought a bat in bangalore and had to pay full proce. none of the shops were willing to negotiate.

When you open the thread from the front page listing "Latest Forum Topics" there's no indication that it's in the Delhi Forum, and once someone clicks on the thread they don't necessarily look up to see the name of the forum where it was was posted. Also, people post questions in the "wrong" forum all the time. If the OP wanted info only on where to buy cricket equipment in Delhi, I think he should have made that clear in the question inself instead of assuming that readers would infer that from where the question was posted (which many people would probably not notice) and then making a snarky comment to someone who tried to be helpful.

I am afraid it does

look ABOVE the "Home User CP ...." Menu Banner it says (After you have opened the thread) :-

India Travel Forum | IndiaMike.com > Destinations > Major Destinations > Delhi

which is the forum name

Agree!!! I bought an SG from here in 1988 and it still survives. A good one made of Kashmiri willow.

Hi

Our Club has been getting cricket equipment from Stanford-

STANFORD CRICKET INDUSTRIES

Address 4, VICTORIA PARK, SPORTS COLONY, MEERUT, UTTAR PRADESH- 250001

(further details available on the web)- About 6 or 7 players now have bats from them (English willow) at prices far better than those in the UK.

This year we have also had embroidered shirts sent over. Its best to get a number of items ordered together to save money on freight costs.
