Khanna Metallic Python PU Cricket Bat Grip (Pack of 2)

The Khanna Python cricket bat grip is a polyurethane (PU) grip with a diamond scale texture that looks like snakeskin, finished in metallic blue. The raised diamond pattern grips dry or sweaty hands and gives a firm, low-profile hold without bulking up the handle.

Made by Khanna Sports in Meerut, it is a PU cricket grip rather than ordinary rubber, which gives it more strength and a longer life on the handle. One grip covers a standard bat, and many batters add a second for extra cushion.

Specifications

Why the python texture

The diamond scale pattern spreads lots of small contact points across the handle, so your fingers lock on from any angle. It sits flatter than a coil grip, which keeps the handle slim and tacky for batters who want close control rather than a thick, padded feel.

PU grip vs rubber grip

Khanna prints the lab numbers on the box. The PU grip scores higher than standard rubber on tensile and tear strength, and stretches further before tearing:

Higher tensile and tear strength means the grip is harder to split when you stretch it over the handle, and the extra elongation lets it wrap tight without tearing.

Who it is for

This grip suits batters who want a slim, tacky handle with sure control in all conditions, and the diamond pattern holds up well when your hands sweat. The metallic blue also makes it a good pick if you want your bat to look sharp, and the PU build helps if you wear through rubber grips quickly.

How to fit the grip

Slide the grip over the bat handle using a grip cone, or roll it down from the top with a little talc, working out any air pockets as you go. To swap it later, cut along the old grip and peel it off.

FAQs

What is the Python grip texture like?
It is a diamond scale pattern that looks like snakeskin. The small raised diamonds give a strong, even hold while keeping the handle slim.

Is a PU grip better than a rubber grip?
On Khanna's own box figures the PU grip beats standard rubber on tensile strength, tear strength and stretch, so it tends to last longer and resist splitting. Rubber still works fine and usually costs less.

Python or coil, which should I pick?
Choose the Python for a slim, tacky handle with close control. Choose a coil grip for a thicker, cushioned feel with more shock absorption.

Will the metallic colour rub off?
The shade is part of the PU, not a sticker, so it holds up well in normal use. Like any grip, the surface will soften and dull after months of heavy play.

Will one grip fit my bat?
One grip fits a standard senior bat handle. Many players add a second grip for a thicker, softer feel.
