The Ultimate Guide to Buying Cricket Gloves Online

Finding the right pair of gloves is about balancing Protection, Flexibility, and Ventilation. At SportsUncle, we stock over 100+ models. Here is how to choose the right one for your game.

1. Batting Gloves vs. Wicket Keeping Gloves

 Batting Gloves

Designed to absorb the shock of the bat handle and protect fingers from rising deliveries. Look for Pre-Curved Fingers (break-in time is less) and Side Bar Protection on the leading hand (right hand for right-handers) to protect against bouncers.

 Wicket Keeping Gloves

These feature a rubber grip (Octopus or Pimpled) on the palm and extra webbing between the thumb and index finger. Our SG and SS Keeping Gloves come with reinforced finger caps to prevent injuries while gathering spin or fast bowling.

2. Leather Palm Types: What's the Difference?

The palm material dictates the glove's "feel" and durability.

  • Pittards Leather (Pro Level): Used in top-tier gloves like the SG Test or SS Ton. It is water-repellent (sweat doesn't harden it), incredibly soft, and offers the best grip.
  • Sheepskin Leather (Club Level): Soft and comfortable but absorbs sweat. Needs regular airing.
  • Calfskin / Synthetic (Entry Level): Durable and affordable. Best for beginners or tennis ball cricket.

3. Cricket Gloves Size Chart (India)

A loose glove causes blisters; a tight glove restricts movement. Measure from the start of your wrist to the tip of your longest finger.

Size Name Hand Length (cm) Ideal For
Men's (Adult) 20.5 - 22.0 cm Height 5'7" and above
Youth / Small Men's 19.0 - 20.5 cm Height 5'4" to 5'7"
Boys 17.5 - 19.0 cm Height 4'9" to 5'3"
Small Boys 16.0 - 17.5 cm Under 4'9"

4. Top Brands We Recommend

SG (Sanspareils Greenlands): The choice of legends like Sunil Gavaskar and Rishabh Pant. Known for their "Litevate" high-density foam, which is extremely light.
SS (Sunridges): Famous for the 'QDK' and 'Gladiator' series. They offer split-finger designs that provide superior flexibility for hook-and-pull shots.
Kookaburra: The Australian giant known for elite protection. Their "Kahuna" and "Ghost" series feature ergonomic cages and reinforced fibre inserts, making them a favourite among international pros like Marnus Labuschagne.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which cricket batting gloves are best for sweaty hands?

For sweaty hands, always choose gloves with **Pittards Leather palms** (like SG Test or SS Limited Edition) and a towelling wristband. Avoid synthetic palms as they become slippery when wet.

What is the difference between Sausage Finger and Split Finger gloves?

**Sausage Finger** gloves (classic rounded rolls) offer extra protection against fast bowling and are often preferred for Australian/English conditions. **Split Finger** gloves offer better flexibility and are lighter, making them ideal for Indian conditions where grip and wrist work are key.

How do I wash my cricket gloves?

Never machine wash cricket gloves. After every match, air dry them in the shade (not direct sunlight as leather will crack). You can gently wipe the leather palm with a damp cloth if it gets muddy.
