Have you ever watched Virat Kohli punch a ball through covers or Rohit Sharma effortlessly pull a 145kmph bouncer into the stands and thought, Is it the player, or is it the bat?
Obviously, it’s the player. But let’s be honest the bat helps.
In 2026, cricket bats are no longer just pieces of willow; they are precision-engineered tools designed for maximum impact. For the average fan, walking into a store to buy the same bat used by India’s top stars can be a wallet-draining experience. These aren't your standard Kashmir willow bats; these are Player Grade English Willows, the Rolls-Royces of the cricketing world.
If you are looking to upgrade your kit bag or just curious about how much these timber beasts cost, here is the breakdown of the prices for the bats used by Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Shubman Gill in 2026.
Virat Kohli has been synonymous with the MRF bat for over a decade. His weapon of choice is the MRF Genius Grand Edition (often the Game Changer or Master Edition).
The Indian captain’s bat is an extension of his lazy elegance. Rohit Sharma uses the CEAT Hitman Edition, a bat designed for supreme power without compromising on pickup.
Shubman Gill, the heir apparent, also swings a CEAT bat (often branded under their professional flagship lines like the Intense or specifically tailored Gill Edition).
