Yuvraj146;s bat talks money, too

8220;We are overwhelmed with the response the SS Yuvi 20/20 bats got in the market. Yuvraj has put in a lot of effort in designing it, and he8217;s a huge hit with the younger generation.

8220;In fact it has overtaken sales of our previous range of bats named after Sourav Ganguly, VVS Laxman and Virender Sehwag,8221; said Jatin Sareen of SS Sports, the bat manufacturer.

Yuvraj is among the few Indian cricketers after whom a range of cricket bats have been launched. The Prince range of bats were named after Sourav Ganguly, Viru 309 was named after Sehwag8217;s triple ton against Pakistan while VVS 281 was launched in recognition of the famous Eden Gardens knock.

Earlier Sunil Gavaskar also had a whole range of bats in his name and many others like Mohammad Azzharuddin have endorsed cricket bats in the past.

Sareen said: 8220;The good thing is that Yuvraj himself uses the same bat, weighing between 1250 grams to 1300 and young boys have seen him scoring runs in the last series with that bat.

8220;The idea is to make people know what kind of bat Yuvraj uses and recommends to all youngsters. He has designed it himself to get the right balance and weight.8221;
