Prices & codes last verified October 21, 2026

The short of it Flipkart badminton, cricket and skipping gear read on 21 October 2026. Three YONEX rackets at Rs. 589, badged 22%, 26% and 44%; one racquet listed twice, Rs. 80 apart; a 5% badge on a COSCO bat; and a 93% badge on a Rs. 58 rope.

We read 182 badminton, cricket and skipping-rope listings from Flipkart's own search results on 21 October 2026, and the discount badge turns out to track one thing: whether you have heard of the brand. The 54 listings from recognisable sports names carry a median badge of 52% at a median price of Rs. 553. The other 128 carry 76% at Rs. 200. YONEX medians 42%, COSCO 28%, NIVIA 7% — against no-name listings running to 91% and 93%. And three YONEX rackets in this read sell at exactly Rs. 589 while displaying 22%, 26% and 44% off, because they print three different strike-throughs.

Every price below was pulled from Flipkart on October 21, 2026 and checked against the MRP on the listing. Stack them with the live codes on our Flipkart coupons page, which the deals desk re-verifies daily.

“Three rackets, one brand, one price of Rs. 589 - and badges of 22%, 26% and 44%. The percentage belongs to the listing, not the racket.” Zoutons Editorial Team

Four checks before you buy sports gear on a Flipkart badge

First, compare rating counts, not badges. An identical rating count across two listings means one product listed twice — and in this read that costs real money: an Adrenex R501 at Rs. 849 and Rs. 929 both report 93,742 ratings, and an Arcsaber 73 appears at Rs. 1,469 and Rs. 1,799 all reporting 10,040. Search the model name, not the category. Second, expect the brands to badge shallow. COSCO runs 5-33% and YONEX 21-53% here, so a sort by discount removes them from view entirely, including a Rs. 499 LI-NING with 36,653 ratings. Third, read the strike-through, not the percentage. A Rs. 190 bat prints an MRP 11.6 times its price; a Rs. 1,699 YONEX prints one 1.67 times its price. Those two badges are not measuring the same thing. Fourth, remember what a listing page cannot settle. Nothing here was unboxed, strung or swung; "Graphite", "Kashmir Willow", the gram weights and the string tensions are the sellers' own printed claims, and on a racquet the weight and tension are the two figures actually worth checking on the product page before you buy.

What we skipped — and why

What we skipped, and why: three queries returned 182 unique listings and we seated 26. The selection is organised by brand rather than by price or badge, because that grouping is the argument of the page — six from the unbranded deep end, four demonstrating duplicate listings, four YONEX, four from COSCO and NIVIA, five from the branded middle and three skipping ropes. Listings duplicating a seated pick on name and price were dropped, as were any sharing a photograph with one; that removed, among others, the second YONEX ZR 100 LIGHT at Rs. 589, two further Arcsaber 73 colourways and the white Astrox Attack 9, all of which stay inside every count and median quoted here and are described in the text. One listing is named but deliberately not seated: a third-party "SANWAR SPORTS YONEX 303I" at Rs. 896 with no ratings, which we flag and draw no conclusion about. No listing was dropped for being inconvenient to the argument — the Rs. 198 bat badged 91% with 41,393 ratings, which cuts directly against the page's pattern, is seated in the second position.

What we look for

Every figure read from Flipkart's own search data

Each selling price, stated MRP, discount badge, star average and rating count here came from the product data flipkart.com itself serves on its search results, read on 21 October 2026, logged out, from India, with nothing purchased and customer service not contacted. Three queries — badminton racket, cricket bat and skipping rope, two pages each — returned 182 unique listings; 26 are seated. Every count and median quoted anywhere on this page is computed over all 182 rows.

We split the shelf by brand recognition before claiming anything

The claim that the badge tracks the brand is computed, not asserted. We classified as 'recognisable' the twelve sports brands appearing in the read — YONEX, COSCO, LI-NING, Adrenex, Hundred, NIVIA, MRF, REEBOK, BOLDFIT, apacs, SLOVIC and Jaspo — which is a judgement call and we state it openly. Those 54 listings have a median badge of 52% and a median price of Rs. 553. The other 128 have a median badge of 76% and a median price of Rs. 200.

We checked rating counts for duplicate listings

158 of 182 listings publish a star average and a review count, so the pills on this page are real figures quoted as Flipkart returned them. Where two or more listings report an identical rating count we say so, because that is the ordinary fingerprint of one product listed more than once: Adrenex R501 shows 93,742 twice at Rs. 849 and Rs. 929; YONEX ZR 100 LIGHT shows 65,793 twice; Arcsaber 73 shows 10,040 three times at Rs. 1,469 and Rs. 1,799.

A price read, not a product test

Nothing here was bought, unboxed, strung, swung or tested. "Graphite", "Kashmir Willow", "Poplar Willow", the gram weights and the string tensions are the listings' own printed descriptions, reproduced and not independently verified. No claim is made about any item's balance, flex, stiffness, weight, durability or suitability for any level of play.

FAQs

How much does a badminton racket cost on Flipkart in October 2026?

The median badminton racket listing costs Rs. 509. Across the 59 racket listings we read on 21 October 2026, prices run from Rs. 189 to Rs. 4,384, with a median advertised badge of 53%. The other two shelves are far cheaper: 64 cricket bat listings at a median Rs. 233.50 and 59 skipping rope listings at a median Rs. 129. The cheapest branded racket seated here is a LI-NING Smash XP 90 IV at Rs. 499 with 36,653 ratings. Figures read 21 October 2026 and subject to change.

Why do YONEX rackets show smaller discounts than no-name ones?

Because the badge tracks the strike-through, and recognisable brands print modest ones. In this read, YONEX's 13 listings are badged 21% to 53%, median 42%; COSCO's four run 5% to 33%, median 28%; NIVIA's single listing is 7%. Against that, the 128 listings carrying no recognisable sports brand have a median badge of 76%, running to 91% and 93%. But look at the money: the branded 54 have a median price of Rs. 553 and the unbranded 128 a median of Rs. 200. A brand that prints a list price close to what it charges cannot produce a large percentage, however it prices, and that is a legitimate way to price. No stated MRP here is being called false and no wrongdoing by Flipkart, by any seller or by any brand is alleged. The practical consequence is that sorting these shelves by discount hides every brand you have heard of.

Three YONEX listings cost exactly Rs. 589 but show different discounts. Why?

Because they print three different stated MRPs. In this read a YONEX ZR 100 LIGHT at Rs. 589 prints Rs. 755 (22%), a GR303i Red at Rs. 589 prints Rs. 800 (26%), and a GR 303i at Rs. 589 prints Rs. 1,049 (44%). Identical money, three percentages, twice the badge on the third. That is the clearest demonstration on this page that a discount badge is a property of the listing rather than of the racquet: it measures the gap between two figures the listing prints, and only one of those figures is what you pay.

How can I tell when two Flipkart listings are the same product?

Check whether the rating counts match exactly. It is the one number a seller cannot set independently, and in this read it exposes three cases. An Adrenex R501 appears at Rs. 849 and Rs. 929 — both off the same stated Rs. 1,375, both reporting 93,742 ratings. A YONEX ZR 100 LIGHT appears twice at Rs. 589, both reporting 65,793. A YONEX Arcsaber 73 appears three times, all reporting 10,040, at Rs. 1,469, Rs. 1,469 and Rs. 1,799. Duplicate and colour-variant listings are a routine feature of marketplaces and we allege no wrongdoing by anyone — but the Rs. 80 and Rs. 330 gaps are real money, and the only way to catch them is to search the model name rather than browse the category. By contrast, two near-identical Resh skipping ropes here report 38,740 and 58,696 ratings, so those are genuinely separate listings.

Is a 91%-off cricket bat worth buying?

We do not know — nothing on this page was swung. What we can say is what the numbers do. A plastic bat at Rs. 198 badged 91% carries 41,393 ratings at 4.1 stars, which is a genuinely deep pool, so a big badge and real reviews do sometimes arrive together. But Rs. 198 would be Rs. 198 whatever figure the listing printed above it, and on the same shelf a COSCO bat at Rs. 679 badged 5% carries only 215 ratings. The badge tells you nothing about either. "Kashmir Willow", "Poplar Willow", "heavy duty" and the gram weights on this page are the listings' own printed descriptions, reproduced and not verified; we make no claim about any bat's wood, weight, balance or durability. One further note for transparency: one listing in the read is titled "SANWAR SPORTS YONEX 303I" at Rs. 896 against Rs. 999 with no ratings — a third-party seller's title carrying a brand word. We name it, draw no conclusion about it, and have not seated it as a pick.

How Zoutons picks deals Zoutons may earn a commission when you buy through links on this page. Every selling price, stated MRP, discount badge, star average and rating count on this page was read on 21 October 2026 from the product data flipkart.com itself serves on its search results, logged out, from India, with nothing purchased, no order placed and customer service not contacted; every count, median, multiple and range was computed mechanically over those 182 rows. A stated MRP is the figure a listing prints. Reporting that listings from recognisable brands carry a lower median discount badge than listings from unrecognised ones, that three listings sell at one price while displaying three different percentages, or that two or more listings report an identical rating count at different prices, is arithmetic over published figures and a description of what those figures are. It is not a statement that any MRP is false, inflated, fabricated, misdeclared, back-calculated or non-compliant, that any discount is not genuine, that any rating or review is not authentic, that any listing is counterfeit, inauthentic or not what it says it is, that any product is overpriced or misdescribed, or that any seller, brand or platform has engaged in misleading advertising, an unfair trade practice, an unfair contract term, a dark pattern, drip pricing or any other contravention of the Legal Metrology Act, 2009, the Legal Metrology (Packaged Commodities) Rules, 2011, the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, the Consumer Protection (E-Commerce) Rules, 2020, the Guidelines for Prevention and Regulation of Dark Patterns, 2023, or any other law, rule, standard or guideline — and no such wrongdoing is alleged or implied against Flipkart Internet Private Limited, any seller on its platform, or against YONEX, COSCO, LI-NING, Adrenex, Hundred, NIVIA, MRF, REEBOK, BOLDFIT, apacs, SLOVIC, Jaspo or any other brand named here. Where this page observes that several listings share one rating count, that is reported as the ordinary signature of a single product listed more than once, which is routine marketplace practice. The listing titled "SANWAR SPORTS YONEX 303I" is named only as a listing we read and no claim whatever is made about it, its seller or its authenticity. Nothing on this page was bought, unboxed, strung, swung or tested, and no claim is made about any item's balance, flex, stiffness, weight, string tension, wood, construction or durability; "Graphite", "Kashmir Willow", "Poplar Willow", the gram weights and the tensions quoted are the listings' own printed descriptions, reproduced and not independently verified. The brand-recognition grouping used on this page is our own editorial judgement and is stated openly as such. Prices and badges move constantly; the figure Flipkart shows at your checkout prevails over anything here.
