We read 82 Amazon badminton racket, cricket bat and football listings on 8 November 2026. Nine of them badge 98% or 99%, and eight state a reference price that is exactly one hundred times what they charge — to the rupee. The ninth is exactly fifty times. Then the badge range stops: nothing in the whole read sits between 83% and 97%. That gap is what tells you these are a misplaced decimal rather than a clearance shelf. Nothing here was picked up; the figures are Amazon's own.
Nine listings on this shelf badge 98% or 99% off. Eight of them state a reference price that is exactly one hundred times what they charge — Rs. 589 against Rs. 58,900, Rs. 18,990 against Rs. 18,99,000, Rs. 229 of grip tape against Rs. 22,900 — and the ninth is exactly fifty times. A decimal point has moved, and Amazon's badge calculator has done the percentage on it anyway. The proof is the hole in the data: of 82 listings read on 8 November 2026, not one badges anything between 83% and 97%. 26 are seated below. Nothing was picked up.
Every price below was pulled from Amazon on November 8, 2026 and checked against the MRP on the listing. Stack them with the live codes on our Amazon coupons page, which the deals desk re-verifies daily.

Amazon runs bank offers, coupon clips and Prime-only prices that change by the day and by card, and this read was made logged out, so none of them is in any price above. Divide the stated MRP by the selling price before you read the badge — if it comes to a round 50 or 100, the percentage is meaningless and the price may still be fine. Compare the price against other listings of the same product, not against its own reference price: two Rs. 589 Yonex rackets on this page state Rs. 800 and Rs. 58,900. Read the rating count before the stars — the nine deepest-badged tiles here hold a quarter of the reviews that one Rs. 339 football does. And check strung versus unstrung and the size on a bat: an unstrung professional frame needs stringing on top of the price, and two sizes of the same SG bat here differ by Rs. 76 and by 812 published ratings.

Each selling price, stated MRP, badge, star average and rating count was read from amazon.in's own results for "badminton racket", "cricket bat" and "football size 5" on 8 November 2026, logged out, from India, with sponsored placements dropped and ASINs de-duplicated. 82 distinct listings were returned; 26 are seated.
Where this page reports a stated MRP of Rs. 18,99,000 or Rs. 58,900, that is the figure Amazon displayed on 8 November 2026, copied without alteration. Eight listings state exactly one hundred times their selling price and one states exactly fifty times — the multiples are exact to the rupee, which is what identifies them as a misplaced decimal rather than an aggressive claim.
A reference price a hundred times the selling price is not a persuasive number; it is an obviously wrong one, and a decimal point in the wrong field is the likeliest explanation. This page does not allege deception by any seller or by Amazon. What it reports is that the discount badge is computed from the field regardless, so a tile can wear 99% off for a reason that has nothing to do with its price.
Nine listings badge 98% or 99%. The next deepest badge in the read is 82%. Not one of the 82 listings badges between 83% and 97%. That discontinuity is why the nine are discussed as a separate population rather than as the deep end of a continuous range — a genuine clearance shelf would fill the gap, and this one does not.
A plastic tennis-ball bat, a Kashmir willow bat and an English willow bat are different goods, as are an aluminium racket, a strung graphite frame and an unstrung professional frame. No card here calls one overpriced because another costs less. Where two tiles are set side by side, they are matched on brand and class first, and the comparison drawn is between stated reference prices, not between products. Willow grade, tension, balance and build are not assessed; nothing was picked up.
Because the badge is calculated from the reference price in the listing, and on these tiles that figure appears to carry a misplaced decimal point. In this read eight listings state an MRP exactly one hundred times their selling price — a Rs. 589 Yonex GR 303i stating Rs. 58,900, a Rs. 18,990 ArcSaber 11 Pro stating Rs. 18,99,000 — and one states exactly fifty times. The rackets and their prices are real; the percentage is arithmetic on a wrong number. The giveaway is that the next deepest badge in the whole 82-listing read is 82%, with nothing at all between 83% and 97%.
In this read the best-evidenced entry racket is the Yonex ZR 100 Light at Rs. 589, against a stated Rs. 800 and badged 26%, on 4.0 stars from 24,973 ratings — the deepest racket pool of all 82 listings. For a pair, the Boldfit aluminium set at Rs. 649 with cover and shuttles works out cheaper per racket. Ignore the badge entirely on this shelf; the Yonex tile at the identical Rs. 589 badged 99% is the same money for a quarter of the published reviews. Prices were read logged out and Amazon changes them without notice.
This page makes no legal claim and alleges nothing against any seller. A reference price exactly one hundred times the selling price reads as a data-entry error rather than a sales tactic — nobody is persuaded that an entry-level aluminium racket is worth Rs. 58,900. What is worth knowing as a shopper is the consequence: Amazon's discount badge is computed from that field automatically, so the biggest percentages on a search page can be the least meaningful numbers on it. Compare the price itself against other listings of the same product.
In this read, Rs. 2,171 to Rs. 3,189. The SG Scorer Classic in size 6 is Rs. 2,171 against a stated Rs. 2,999, badged 28%, on 917 ratings; its short-handle version is Rs. 2,247 on 105 ratings. English willow sits far higher — the SG Slammer Classic is Rs. 14,909 and a GM player-edition bat is Rs. 96,919, the dearest listing in the read. For tennis-ball cricket the plastic bats are a different purchase entirely: the Jaspo SLOG at Rs. 375 carries 5,209 ratings, more than any willow bat here. Willow grade and pick-up were not assessed.
Of the 82 listings in this read, the Nivia Storm football at Rs. 339, with 52,285 ratings — badged an unremarkable 53% against a stated Rs. 726. The deepest racket pool is the Yonex ZR 100 at 24,973 ratings and the deepest bat pool the Jaspo SLOG at 5,209. By contrast, all nine of the tiles badged 98% or 99% hold 13,296 ratings between them, about a quarter of what the one football carries. On this shelf the rating count is the field worth sorting by, and the badge is not.
