Australian skipper Steve Smith on Wednesday visited a bat-manufacturing factory in Punjab’s Jalandhar, taking bats and cricketing gear for the remainder of his Test series against India. Smith reportedly spent six hours at the factory seeing the manufacturing process, before taking three bats, gloves and leg guards. The company has reportedly been making Smith's bats for the past three years. Notably, Smith visited the factory along with a representative from shoes and apparel company New Balance, as he sports their sticker on his bats.
