When we talk about top cricket gear manufacturers in India, one name stands tall with nearly 60 years of trust, quality, and legacy — Kay Gee Sports.
Based in Jalandhar, this family-led brand has consistently supported generations of cricketers — from international legends to aspiring players at local academies. What began in 1966 as a focused venture in sports goods manufacturing has grown into one of India’s most respected cricket equipment brands, with gear trusted by renowned names across the game.
Let’s take you through the inspiring journey of Kay Gee Sports — a truly Made in India brand that blends tradition, design, and performance.
How It All Started
The story of Kay Gee Sports began in 1966 with Kasturi Lal Mahajan, a visionary who started by making rugby balls, footballs, and cricket balls in Jalandhar.
He travelled to countries like Australia and New Zealand, exporting Indian-made sports goods at a time when India was still finding its place in the global cricket scene.
By the mid-1970s, seeing India’s growing love for cricket, the company began making full cricket gear — including bats, pads, gloves, and accessories — officially stepping into the professional cricket market.
As the brand evolved, Kasturi Lal Mahajan’s sons — Amit Mahajan and Anil Mahajan — also became a part of the journey, carrying forward the values of craftsmanship and credibility their father had built.
Trusted by Indian and International Cricketers
In the 1980s, Kay Gee Sports became one of the leading cricket gear suppliers to Indian players. Their bats and kits were not only popular in domestic circuits but also made their way into international dressing rooms. Players like Virender Sehwag, Harbhajan Singh, Sanjay Manjrekar, VVS Laxman, and Russel Arnold (Sri Lanka) have all used Kay Gee gear at different points in their cricket journeys. The power, pickup, and balance of Kay Gee bats earned quiet but steady respect across the cricketing world.
Leading in Design & Automation
Kay Gee Sports wasn’t just about production — they were one of the first Indian cricket brands to bring design innovation into equipment manufacturing.
In the 1980s, they also became one of the early adopters of automation in bat production, using pressing and shaping machinery to achieve consistency while keeping the handcrafted quality intact.
Their focus on bat profile design, grip comfort, and weight distribution gave them an edge in a market that was still evolving.
Rohil Mahajan and Rishabh Mahajan: Carrying the Legacy Forward
Today, the third generation of the Mahajan family is taking the brand to new heights. Rohil Mahajan and Rishabh Mahajan lead Kay Gee Sports with a fresh outlook.
Under their leadership, the brand is blending heritage with innovation. They work closely on R&D, developing new bat shapes, materials, and features that suit modern formats like T20, The Hundred, and Test cricket.
“The game has changed, but the feel of a good bat in a player’s hands hasn’t,” says Rohil.
“We want to give every player — from junior to pro — gear that gives them confidence.”
What’s Next for Kay Gee Sports?
With exports now reaching across Asia, Africa, Europe, North America, and Oceania, Kay Gee is growing its global reach while keeping its roots in Jalandhar.
They’re also partnering with cricket academies across India, helping young players get access to professional-grade gear early in their careers.
Plans ahead include:
Custom-made bat series
Limited edition launches
Online direct-to-customer models
More collaborations with upcoming players and institutions
But the mission stays the same: to create high-quality Indian cricket gear with care, character, and consistency.
In today’s fast-moving world, Kay Gee Sports stands out for its long-term vision, family-driven values, and dedication to performance. From Kasturi Lal Mahajan’s leather ball workshop, to the steady hands of Amit and Anil Mahajan, and now the modern vision of Rohil and Rishabh Mahajan, the journey is a true example of a legacy cricket brand from India.
