\r\n\r\nRam has been repairing bats for over 25 years and his work goes far beyond simply breaking the bat in. He spends time with each and every cricketer, watching them play and practise to really understand their playing style and to understand what changes he needs to make to help them achieve their best.
\r\nThis deep knowledge of their game, allows him to customize a bat specifically for their needs.
\r\nHis expertise of crafting bats for different playing style and pitch types has seen him customize bats for many of the Indian greats, past and present as well as international players.
\r\nWhen it comes to brain and body connectivity, Brandon is basketball\u2019s go-to guy. He goes beyond skill and fitness drills - instead he creates expert individualized training programs, which are designed to overload the brain.
