Choose the quality of the bat themselves
Anuj Kumar Singhal said that many international players come to the SG and SS companies of Meerut and get their favorite bats prepared.

Such sports industry started in Meerut
If we look at the history of Meerut’s cricket material, it started at the time of India-Pakistan Partition (1947). Refugee from Sialkot (now Pakistan) started making bat and other sports gears here and this is where the sports industry of Meerut got a new identity. Today, Meerut-made bats are exported to more than 60 countries of the world, and they dominate the big cricket tournament.
