Amazon Cricket Bat and Badminton Racket Price October 2026: GM Badges 1%

We read 85 cricket, badminton and football listings on 29 October 2026 from Amazon's own search results and sorted them by the MRP each one claims rather than by what it charges.

Ten state an MRP that is exactly one hundred times the selling price, and eight of those ten are badminton rackets carrying brand names you would recognise. A Rs. 18,990 Yonex racquet states Rs. 18,99,000. Meanwhile the genuinely expensive goods on this shelf — English willow bats at Rs. 9,492 to Rs. 86,639 — badge 1% to 32%.

Ten of these are exactly one hundred times the selling price — the same digits with the decimal point two places over. The eleventh, a Hundred POWERTEK two-racket set at Rs. 531, states Rs. 26,550: exactly fifty times, which is the same arithmetic one place along.

What makes this group unusual is that it is not a fringe of unrated sellers. The Yonex Astrox Attack 9 carries 3,803 ratings at 4.3 stars; the YONEX GR 303i carries 3,230; the Hundred set carries 2,444. These are established badminton brands with real rating histories on this shelf, and the 99% badge sits on top of that. We are not alleging that anyone entered a wrong figure deliberately, and nothing here alleges wrongdoing by Amazon or by any brand or seller named — we report the published figures and the arithmetic between them. All eleven listings are excluded from every price, badge and rating figure elsewhere on this page.

Eight English willow bats run from Rs. 9,492 to Rs. 86,639, and not one badges above 32%. GM's Noir 333 at Rs. 12,379 badges 1%, a stated MRP of 1.01 times the price. DSC sits at 13% and 15%, SG at 17%, GM's Sparq 707 at 14%.

This is the opposite of what the shelf's loudest badges suggest. The percentages run deepest on the cheapest goods — a Rs. 199 plastic bat at 83%, a Rs. 349 aluminium racket at 73% — and shallowest on the goods that cost five figures. A small badge is not a worse deal; it usually means the stated MRP is close to the real one. It is also worth saying plainly that these two groups are not substitutes: an English willow bat and a plastic tennis-ball bat are different objects for different games.

Every listing above states an MRP between 3.6 and 6.0 times its selling price. None crosses the eight-times line we use to exclude a figure as implausible, so all five are counted in the page's medians — but they are the reason the shelf's median badge is 37% while its median price is Rs. 679.

Two of them deserve their rating counts read before their badges. The Rs. 424 "Professional Grade Willow" bat sits at 2.7 stars across 81 ratings, the lowest average in this read; the Rs. 898 full-size bat shows 5.0 stars on 23. "Professional Grade", "Premium Willow" and "Heavy Duty" are the listings' own words, reproduced here and not verified by us.

One: divide MRP by price. Ten answers on this shelf are exactly one hundred. Two: distrust a 99% badge on a branded racket — the brand and the ratings can be entirely real while the reference figure is not. Three: on bats, read the willow. English willow, Kashmir willow, poplar willow and moulded plastic are four different products at four price levels, and only the product name distinguishes them.

Four: check what the search actually returned. A football query here returned shoes, guards, cards and a tyre inflator. Nothing on this page is a claim about any product's performance, durability, safety or fitness for play — nothing was bought, strung, inflated or used. Prices change without notice — check the live listing before buying.
