It is this mega revenue generating opportunity that Gill was seeking when he carried a label-less bat at the Gabba.

The governing body of the sport, which is always likely to prioritise more revenue, had placed a set of rules which allowed major brands, the kind that bat manufacturers can hardly compete with, to pay exorbitant amounts and secure the front and back of a bat for advertisement. This system pumped money into the sport, was profitable for players, sponsors and the ICC, but left manufacturers in the shadows.

The skill, effort and resources to make a bat, which is of course the most important piece of equipment for any batsman, was put in by the manufacturer, but there was hardly any way for a layman to know it was their product. All it needs to do is market cricket bats with its label on it. This is enough for the ICC to allow that company to land a bat logo deal with a top player.

From a legal standpoint, there is nothing wrong in this system. The bat is seen as advertising space. The attention that batsmen give to finding the perfect bat cannot be overstated. It is, after all, their most important piece of equipment. There is so much that batsmen obsess over when it comes to bats — the weight, balance, grains, bulge at the back, sweet spot, size of the handle, size of the edges, the grip. Every bat is unique in a certain way because it is not cut from the same piece of wood.

But now, even top-edges go for sixes. But how often do we see a player acknowledge the manufacturer? MS Dhoni did it, in what turned out to be his final international assignment, and ended up making headlines for it.
