#2 Kookaburra
Kookaburra is an Australian-based sports company which was founded in 1980 by Alfred Grace Thompson. It is specifically known for manufacturing cricket and field hockey equipment.
Kookaburra is undoubtedly one of the best cricket bat manufacturers in the world as the cricket bats are hand-made. Hand-made cricket bats offer great balance and allow the batsman to change the grip at the last moment (usually for playing unorthodox shots).
The top models of Kookaburra's cricket bats are Kahuna, Fever, Obsidian, Ghost, XLR8, Blaze and Surge.
The famous now-defunct ranges of Kookaburra are Sword, Ice, Beast, Diablo, Genesis, and CCX. Kookaburra mostly sponsors the cricketers of Australia, England and South Africa. The most famous endorsements made by Kookaburra are that of Ricky Ponting, AB de Villiers, and Brad Hodge.
It currently sponsors Jos Buttler, Keaton Jennings, Martin Guptill, Tom Latham, Glenn Maxwell, Tim Paine, Alex Carey, Usman Khawaja and a lot of other cricketers.
