SG unveiled this cricket bat in honour of the 70th birthday celebration of the cricket legend, the Little Master himself, Sunil Gavaskar. This bat is crafted to embody the spirit of a legendary batsman, featuring a substantial profile while meeting the demands of the modern T20 cricket game.
The SG 70 Sunny Years bat is crafted from the finest English willow clefts, expertly selected by a seasoned willow specialist. This professional-grade willow imparts exceptional stroke-making capabilities to cricket players.
The bat is developed using traditional bat-making techniques, ensuring that the wood is skillfully crafted to maximise the wood volume behind the sweet spot and toe, without compromising the bat's balance.
Thanks to its exceptional willow quality and profile, this professional and expensive SG bat will provide a clean, straight grain pattern consisting of 10 to 12 straight grains, delivering a perfect straight grain profile.
Featuring substantial 40 to 42 mm edges and a robust 60 to 64 mm spine profile, the SG 70 Sunny Years bat embodies explosiveness, catering to the demands of modern-day cricket that necessitate a harmonious blend of power hitting and exceptional bat balance.
The bat is meticulously weighted, ranging from approximately 1160 to 1195 grams, with a deliberate focus on crafting the bat's balance toward the handle side. This design ensures that players experience a lighter bat pickup, enabling them to execute more aggressive cricketing shots such as cuts, pulls, and front-foot drives.
