Off the bat

We get back on the road for another edition of the Magnificent India series with Hyundai to head to a city that is the source of high quality cricket bats for the sport’s biggest athletes globally

- 

From narrow gullies to the biggest stadiums, cricket is quite literally everywhere in India. Undoubtedly the country’s most popular sport, cricket is one of those very rare things that have the ability to unite a billion people. But India’s contribution to the sport goes well beyond the excitement on the pitch and some of the biggest stars the sport has ever seen. For the latest instalment of the Magnificent India series, we drove down to Meerut in Uttar Pradesh for a sneak peek into the world of bats and how they’re made. And what better car to do it with than the sporty and athletic new Hyundai i20 N Line.
