I keep noticing what looks like the word "TOM" on the edges of most Indian player's bats, regardless of the brand it seems.
Does anyone know what this is about?!

Go Rising :)
It is "TON"
Maybe referring as Ton i.e. Century.
Or maybe it is printed to remind them "TO avoid to nick the Ball" Grin
Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man,
But sooner or later, the man who wins
Is the fellow who thinks he can.

I think its TON. They must be using the SS Ton bat.

No, i zoomed in on it and looked like Tom. Maybe not.
Ganguly had it yesterday and he uses Puma, and Yuvraj had it and he uses Reebok?
Have noticed on quite a few other players too.

I've always thought it was TON but haven't a clue what it means. 

Maybe its the branding of the batmaker, as I know a few of the international players get their bats from the same guy.
If you find the forum helpful then please don't forget to spread the word!

Doing a small amount of research and it may be put on there to denote that the bat is made from English Willow.

It's the SS Ton, a bat used by many of the Indian batsmen, they then just apply their sponsers stickers onto the bat. Yuvraj uses a Ton, as does Dravid, because Hero Honda and Britannia don't actually make bats, so they use the best bat they can get.

Correct, Sareen Sports Ltd make the bats for a few of the international players. And then brand their bats with TON on the side.

SG have a few arrows - <<<< SG >>>>>
BDM have a lightning bolt

However just because it doesn't have a brand on the side doesn't mean it isn't one of those makers, I had one of Dhoni's bats which was actually a SS Ton Ranger without any branding on the side.
