MUMBAI: Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant on Thursday announced a multi-year extension of his long-running partnership with cricket equipment brand Sanspareils Greenlands.
While financial terms were not disclosed, JSW Sports, which represents the star, announced that the renewed association makes Pant among the highest paid bat endorsers in the country.
It was in December 2016, that Pant first signed on with SG, inking a “three-year multi-crore deal”.
Meerut-based SG, a market leader in bats and other cricket equipment, has been associated with several Indian cricketers such as Sunil Gavaskar, Mohammad Azharuddin, Rahul Dravid and Virender Sehwag in the past.
Over the years, SG has exported bats manufactured in Meerut to the UK and Australia for many international cricket brands. Established in Sialkot in 1931, SG’s headquarters and primary factories have been in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, since 1950.
Pant will next be in action for India in the upcoming three-match ODI series against West Indies, which begin with a clash at the Narendra Modi Stadium, in Gujarat, on February 6th.
