#PlayWithPurpose
Three levels of sponsorship, from your school team to the professional game. No fee to apply, ever. We reply to shortlisted players within 7 days.
Three levels
School, college, club and academy cricketers who are serious about their game.
District and state age-group players, division league cricketers and T20 league squads.
State senior, franchise and contracted professional cricketers.
Who we look for
The level you play at, your runs and wickets, and what you've won. Selection is on cricket first.
Where your game is heading. We like backing players early and growing with them.
You'll represent the badge on and off the field, so attitude and respect for the game matter.
Why you play, and why IndianBatsmith. Followers alone won't get you in: we sponsor cricketers, not follower counts.

Ask on WhatsAppNo. IndianBatsmith never charges any fee for sponsorship, at any stage. If anyone asks you to pay to be sponsored by us, it isn't us. Please report it to us on WhatsApp.
Yes. A parent or guardian has to agree to the application, and we'll speak to them before making any offer.
No. We look at your cricket first: your level, results and potential. Social media helps, but it is never the reason we sponsor someone.
Pick the one that matches the highest level you play at now. If we think another level fits you better, we'll tell you.
Your bat must be an IndianBatsmith bat. For Ambassador and Pro, other kit is fine. For Elite, we agree kit with you separately.
One season, 12 months from the day you join. We review it together at the end and renew it on performance.
If you don't hear from us within 7 days, you weren't shortlisted this time. Please don't send repeat messages. Apply again after your next season or new results.
Yes. We sponsor cricketers from anywhere in India and courier bats to you. Pro and Elite players are welcome to visit us in Erode to pick their cleft.
