Let us first understand MRF’s connection to cricket bats! As we all know MRF – Madras Rubber Factory, headquartered in Chennai, India, is an Indian Multinational tyre manufacturing company, the largest manufacturer of tyres in India.
A partnership that started in the mid-1990s between MRF and the legendary Sachin Tendulkar blossomed to make MRF a household name. Here is how it all started. MRF opted to sponsor a newbie Sachin Tendulkar, who had slowly started to become a hero of this cricket frenzied nation. At that time Sachin was without a sponsor for his bat and Sachin's manager Mark Mascarenhas pulled off a deal with MRF which lead to a historic journey in which Sachin and the "MRF" bat became synonymous with great success. Initially it was only Sachin Tendulkar who wielded a willow with an "MRF" sticker on it. Later the magical touch of MRF logo also benefitted the likes of Brian Lara, Steve Waugh , Ab De Viller’s ,Shikhar Dhawan, Gautam Gambhir, Rohit Sharma. Such was the effect of the MRF logo, that soon MRF started manufacturing cricket bats, pads , gloves and other accessories. MRF’s latest mascot is the most dashing and prolific Indian skipper - Virat Kohli and the legacy continues! MRF also continues to be associated with aspiring young talent like Prithvi Shaw and if you dream of a cricketing future, nothing beats a successful companion like a MRF bat!
