The evolution of Virat Kohli cricket bat over the years

Virat Kohli’s journey in international cricket started way back in 2008. Having impressed one and all during the triumphant 2008 U19 World Cup campaign in Malaysia, Virat Kohli made his ODI debut against Sri Lanka at the Dambulla International Stadium on August 18, 2008. He started his international career with a fifty on debut while opening the innings, and since then he never looked back. Today, Virat is perhaps the biggest superstars in Indian cricket.

Virat Kohli Cricket bat over the years

Kohli has piled up many runs and broken some exemplary and untouchable records during his decorated career, and is still going. All these runs have been scored with his blade and fans around the world are always eager to know about Virat Kohli cricket bat. What bats ‘King’ Kohli has used over the years in his international career? Let’s take a look.

1. BDM Dynamic Power (2008)

Virat Kohli started his career with BDM Dynamic Power bat. This is the same bat with which he scored his maiden 50+ score on his ODI debut against Sri Lanka at the Dambulla International Stadium on August 18, 2008. BD Mahajan & Sons or BDM is a Meerut-based manufacturing firm for cricket essentials. BDM is one of the leading brands in the cricket world for manufacturing almost every cricketing equipment’s.

2. Nike (2009-2013)

The second bat Virat used in his career was Nike. Virat was associated with Nike for a period of 4 years and used Nike sticker on his SS bat (Sareen Sports) at that point in time and it is the same bat which he used during the triumphant 2011 World Cup and 2013 Champions Trophy campaign. With this bat Kohli smashed India’s fastest ODI ton which came in just 52 balls against the mighty Australia in Jaipur, October 2013. This vital knock was preceded by Kohli’s highest individual score of 183 off 148 deliveries against the arch-rivals Pakistan in the 2012 Asia Cup.

3. MRF (2014-present)

MRF is the bat brand which Virat Kohli has been using since 2014. This bat didn’t lead Kohli to conquer ICC trophies unlike the Nike bat, but on individual front, the right-hander has dominated world cricket across formats. Kohli has amassed over 7000 runs in ODI cricket since 2014 at a breathtaking average of 63.07 including 26 tons. We hope Virat the ‘Run Machine’ has many more runs to offer for his country with his current blade.
