The MRF Genius Hammer is a Grade 3 English willow bat built around a T20-oriented profile modelled on Virat Kohli's own blade. Extra scooping through the back of the bat trims weight from behind the shoulders, keeping pick-up light while a mid-to-low sweet spot rewards the aggressive, front-foot hitting T20 cricket demands.

Thick edges and pronounced shoulders build power into the profile, while minimal concaving and a traditional spine keep the blade structurally solid through repeated big-hitting. A semi-oval handle made from multi-piece imported cane rounds out a bat designed to feel forgiving for developing players still building bat speed.

The Hammer is the value entry point into MRF's Genius line, bringing the same styling and construction philosophy as the Prince and Majestic models to a lower grade of willow at a more accessible price. We recommend a 6-8 hour progressive knock-in before match use.
