 Creating novelty is not everyone's cup of tea! Kochi, enthused with the novel passion for cricket and its eternal appeal, a home stay-cum-Cricket Musuem
creates a unique niche ! Named Bat & Ball, it provides a special holiday
experience.
Passionately put together by former Ranji cricketer Mr. J.K. Mahindra, the Bat &Ball Inn houses Mr. Mahendra's phenomenal collection of cricket memorabilla
from every nook and corner of the world, wherever cricket is a passion. Besides Mr. J.K.
Mahindra, the management comprises cricketers, Mr. Charu Sharma, Mr. Sreesanth, and Mr. Uthappa.
Cricket and Home Stay – isn’t that a strange combo, asked Kerala Tourism Magazine?“I don't think so..., said Mr. Mahindra. “Both involve exploration and
travel. Somewhere or the other, the mindset of the spirited sportsman and the wandering
tourist are one and the same. Hence this experiment…”
Apart from the memento restaurant Cornucopia, the attractions include Tons
of Memories - a memento shop, Hall of Fame, and the café - Silly Point. The Village
Shop is for home furnishings. An exclusive boutique has famous brands and
designer labels for men and women.
The museum displays English willow cricket bats made by a sister
concern of the Homestay management - Batcraft International.
Bat & Ball has home stays in Bangalore, Chennai and Kochi, and will be venturing into more places in the near future.
Compact and homely, the inn has just five suites, each named after a cricketing
legend. The trained personnel, cricket memorabilla, library of cricket books and
videos – all have a special appeal in their recreation of bygone memories. The slogan
is of the place is ‘Eat Cricket, Sleep Cricket, Shop Cricket’.
