Get everything you need to play the game of cricket

So obviously the basics of what you need is the bat and the ball. Now the 'real' game is played with a leather ball (called 'season ball' in India). Its hard and like a baseball so you may want to consider starting out with a tennis ball. A regular tennis ball is good for beginners as its easier to handle, doesnt hurt and is cheaper.

Bats: You can buy the bats to play with tennis balls like  the Reebok ones i called out above. These are great for home and yard use and very effective with the tennis ball. Also generally in the 30-50$ raneg so much more affordable.

If you already know how to play well and are looking to play leather ball cricket then i recommend the SG brands that i called out above. Very sturdy , sweet sounding and give the ball a great tonk. Remember that the things with cricket bats is that size and weight matter. Also the shape and how it curves in the centre drives  the power. Finally when you need to start playing you need to oil and stroke the bat first. Which essentially means that it needs to be 'broken' in before you use it in the real game.

All the balls above are good. The first one is for beginners and can be used with the cheaper bats that are made for tennis ball usage. You could also use regular tennis balls like the ones i showed here but they are light and dont carry as well. Also they are more expensive.
