![Cricket bats, a resistance band and a skipping rope from this read, in their own Flipkart listing photographs on a colour-block banner]()
A cricket bat, a skipping rope and a resistance band have nothing in common. We read all three Flipkart aisles within the same few minutes on 27 October 2026 - 178 listings, with the price, stated MRP, badge and rating count Flipkart publishes on each.
Median badge: 76%, 76%, 77%. Median stated MRP multiple: 4.1x, 4.2x, 4.3x. When three unrelated categories converge on one number, that number has stopped describing the goods. Here is all of it, aisle by aisle.
📅 Update log:
27 Oct 2026: first published. Every selling price, stated MRP, discount badge and rating count on this page was read from flipkart.com's own search data on 27 October 2026, logged out, from India, with all three aisles read within the same few minutes so they are comparable. Nothing was bought and no equipment was handled, swung, stretched or used.
A cricket bat, a skipping rope and a resistance band have nothing in common - different materials, different factories, different price brackets. We read all three Flipkart aisles within the same few minutes on 27 October 2026: 178 listings with the price, stated MRP, badge and rating count Flipkart's own search data publishes on each.
Median discount badge: bats 76%, ropes 76%, bands 77%. Across all 178 listings the median is 76% and 98 of them are badged 75% or more. Three unrelated products, one number.
Three aisles, one discount

The median stated MRP multiple lands in the same place too - 4.1x, 4.2x and 4.3x. A badge is arithmetic on the MRP a seller prints, so when three unrelated categories converge on the same percentage, what has converged is the convention for printing that figure, not anything about the goods. Nothing here asserts that any stated MRP is false or improper, and nothing alleges wrongdoing by Flipkart or by any seller named.
Cricket bats: Rs. 132 to Rs. 3,999, and a 91% badge on a Rs. 202 bat
The bat aisle has the widest price range of the three - thirty times from cheapest to dearest - and the deepest badges sit at the bottom of it. A Rs. 202 plastic bat is badged 91% against a stated Rs. 2,149, which is 10.6 times its price.
The shallowest badge in the aisle, 25%, is on a Kashmir willow bat - the only material in this read that a club cricketer would recognise as a proper bat. The pattern repeats across all three aisles: the recognised sporting goods carry the smallest percentages.
| Cricket bat listing | Price | Stated MRP | Badge | Ratings | Note |
|---|
| HF The Original Slog Full Size, hard plastic | Rs. 202 | Rs. 2,149 | 91% | 41,534 | deepest bat badge; 10.6x stated MRP |

Skipping ropes: the deepest badge in the read, and the shallowest
Both extremes of the whole 178-listing read are in this aisle. A Rs. 62 rope is badged 92%, the deepest anywhere; a branded trainer jump rope is badged 7%, the shallowest. Between them sits the best-evidenced listing in the entire read, a Rs. 139 ball-bearing rope with 58,697 ratings.
17 of the 64 rope listings publish no rating at all - the highest share of the three aisles. One listing is a pack of two at Rs. 129, which is Rs. 64.50 a rope and cheaper than the Rs. 127 single next to it, a detail no badge communicates.
| Skipping rope listing | Price | Stated MRP | Badge | Ratings | Note |
|---|
| Resh Blue adjustable ball-bearing skipping rope | Rs. 139 | Rs. 299 | 54% | 58,697 | best-rated listing in the whole read |
| Resh Black adjustable ball-bearing skipping rope | Rs. 127 | Rs. 299 | 58% | 38,749 | — |
| Sportshour freestyle skipping rope, pack of 2 | Rs. 129 | Rs. 498 | 74% | 30,781 | two ropes — Rs. 64.50 each |

| NIVIA Trainer Jump Rope | — | — | 7% | — | shallowest badge in the read — a sports label |
Resistance bands: four prices, one badge, one rating pool
| Resistance band listing | Price | Stated MRP | Badge | Ratings | Note |
|---|
| SLOVIC TPE Bands for Workout | Rs. 217 | Rs. 1,799 | 88% | 29,598 | — |
| SLOVIC TPE Bands for Workout | Rs. 301 | Rs. 2,399 | 87% | 29,598 | same rating pool |
| SLOVIC TPE Bands for Workout | Rs. 375 | Rs. 3,199 | 88% | 29,598 | same rating pool |
| SLOVIC TPE Bands for Workout | Rs. 495 | Rs. 3,999 | 88% | 29,598 | 2.3x the first tile, same badge, same pool |
| Fitcozi Heavy Duty Door Anchor | — | — | 22% | — | shallowest band badge |
| Dearest band in the read | Rs. 915 | — | — | — | 11 times the cheapest band |
One brand accounts for the clearest case on this page. It lists resistance bands at Rs. 217, Rs. 301, Rs. 375 and Rs. 495 - four prices, 2.3 times apart - all badged 87% or 88%, all reporting the identical 29,598 ratings. Each tile's stated MRP is set so the percentage comes out the same whatever the price.
Ratings pool at the product family rather than the individual tile, so a repeated count is the ordinary signature of one product line listed at several resistance levels. It means comparing these four tiles gives you one body of feedback, not four, and the badge gives you nothing to choose between them at all.
When a whole aisle converges on one discount, the discount has stopped being information. On this read, 98 of 178 listings across three unrelated categories are badged 75% or more and the medians are 76%, 76% and 77%. The useful numbers on these tiles are the selling price, the rating count, and - where a title states one - the pack size. A Rs. 129 pack of two ropes beats a Rs. 127 single, and no percentage on either tile tells you that.
Three checks before buying sports gear on Flipkart
One: ignore the badge and compare prices. Across these three aisles it is effectively a constant, and the items a club player would recognise - a willow bat, a branded jump rope - carry the smallest percentages, not the largest. Two: read the material and the pack count in the title. "PVC/Plastic" and "Kashmir Willow" are both sold as full-size cricket bats here, thirty times apart in price, and one rope listing is a pack of two.
Three: check whether the rating count is shared. Four tiles here report the same 29,598. None of this is a judgement on the equipment - nothing was bought, handled, swung or stretched, and no claim is made about durability or safety. Prices change without notice; check the live listing before buying.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a cricket bat cost on Flipkart in October 2026?
Across 60 cricket bat listings read on 27 October 2026 from Flipkart's own search data, prices ran Rs. 132 to Rs. 3,999 with a median of Rs. 292. Most of the cheap end is PVC or plastic rather than willow: the Rs. 132 listing is a junior plastic bat and the shallowest badge in the aisle, 25%, is on a Kashmir willow bat. The median discount badge across the aisle was 76%.
Why do so many Flipkart sports listings show around 76% off?
Because the badge is arithmetic on the MRP each seller prints, and on this read three unrelated categories converge on the same convention. Median badge: cricket bats 76%, skipping ropes 76%, resistance bands 77%; median stated MRP multiple 4.1x, 4.2x and 4.3x. 98 of the 178 listings are badged 75% or more and 94 state an MRP above four times their price. We report those figures as published and allege nothing about them.
What is the biggest discount on Flipkart sports equipment right now?
In this read, a Rs. 62 skipping rope badged 92% - the deepest of all 178 listings - followed by a Rs. 202 plastic cricket bat badged 91% against a stated Rs. 2,149, which is 10.6 times its price. The shallowest badge in the read, 7%, is on a branded trainer jump rope. On this shelf the deepest percentages sit on the cheapest items and the recognised sporting brands carry the smallest.
Why do four Flipkart resistance band listings show the same rating count?
Because ratings pool at the product family rather than the individual tile. One brand in this read lists bands at Rs. 217, Rs. 301, Rs. 375 and Rs. 495 - all badged 87% or 88%, all reporting the same 29,598 ratings, with each tile's stated MRP set so the percentage lands in the same place. It is routine marketplace behaviour for one product line sold at several resistance levels; it just means the four tiles give you one body of feedback, not four.
Are cheap skipping ropes on Flipkart worth buying?
This page cannot tell you - nothing was bought, handled or used - but it can tell you what the shelf publishes. Rope prices ran Rs. 50 to Rs. 436, median Rs. 136, and the aisle holds the best-evidenced listing in the whole read: a Rs. 139 ball-bearing rope with 58,697 ratings. It also has the thinnest evidence of the three aisles - 17 of 64 listings publish no rating at all. And watch pack size: one Rs. 129 listing contains two ropes, making it cheaper per rope than the Rs. 127 single beside it.
Prices & codes last verified: October 27, 2026
Every selling price, stated MRP, discount badge, star average and rating count on this page was read from flipkart.com's own search data on 27 October 2026, logged out, from India, with all three aisles read within the same few minutes. Nothing was purchased, delivered, unpacked, handled, swung, stretched or used, and no claim is made about willow grade, blade weight, handle quality, rope bearing life, band tensile strength, latex content, injury risk, durability or warranty service on any item. Resistance bands and skipping ropes can fail under load; check the listing's own stated rating and condition before use, and anyone exercising with a medical condition should take advice from a qualified professional. The three aisles were reached by Flipkart's own search and are not a census of what Flipkart sells - results vary by query, ranking, login state, pin code and time of day. A stated MRP is the figure each listing prints; we report it and compute badges and multiples from it, but nothing here asserts that any such figure is false or improper, and nothing alleges wrongdoing by Flipkart or by any brand or seller named. Pricing several listings against a high shared reference figure, and pooling ratings across a product family, are ordinary marketplace practices, reported here as published fact. Where a listing publishes no rating we report the absence as an absence, which is not evidence about quality in either direction, and where several listings share a rating count we state that the published numbers match without claiming the goods are the same. Prices change without notice and cart-level coupons are not visible in this data - check the live listing before buying. Zoutons may earn a commission on purchases made through links on this page; this does not affect what is written above.
