KAvach Cricket Club
(Cricket for All)
KAvach Cricket Club is a Bangalore-based leather ball cricket club built exclusively for working professionals who want to stay active, sharpen their cricketing skills, and enjoy competitive weekend matches. Based near Sarjapur Road, we offer structured weekday practice sessions, access to professional coaching, and team placements based on skill levels—from beginner to advanced. With over 900+ matches played, multiple in-house teams, and flagship events like the KAvach Premier League (KPL), we’re more than just a cricket club—we’re a growing community of like-minded enthusiasts. Whether you're returning to the game or picking up a cricket bat for the first time, KAvach is your go-to destination for leather ball cricket in Bangalore.
From 4 to 400
KAvach Cricket Club started with a small idea—just to play 45 minutes of morning cricket for fun and fitness. In early 2022, four friends from a South Bangalore society, who were returning to cricket after 15 years, decided to practice together. They sent out one invitation, and to their surprise, more than 15 people showed up. That’s how our first team was formed. We played our first leather ball match on 5th February 2022, and from there, KAvach Cricket Club began its journey.
What started as a simple group soon became a big cricket family. Our goal was to promote cricket for working professionals in Bangalore—people who love the game but couldn’t play due to jobs or other priorities. Today, we are a community of 400 players, including IT engineers, doctors, lawyers, startup founders, and CEOs.
We have different teams for all skill levels—from beginners to experienced players. We also host our own KAvach Premier League (KPL), an IPL-style tournament with auctions, teams, and live scoring. It’s more than just cricket—it’s passion, fitness, and friendship.
Our rallying cry echoes across Bangalore grounds every single weekend — celebrating discipline, fierce athletic effort, and brotherhood on and off the pitch.
The 6 Pillars That Define KAvach
We are not just a group that rents a ground; we are an institution governed by mutual respect, competitive standards, and professional integrity.
Engineered for Busy Professionals
Morning net practice sessions run sharp from 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM, Tuesday through Friday at Play Arena. Players complete high-intensity conditioning, bowl, bat, and head straight to their corporate desks fully energized.
100% Seasoned Leather Ball
We do not play tennis-ball cricket. We respect the craftsmanship, protective discipline, technical batting, and swing bowling required for true red and white leather-ball cricket.
The Think Tank Mentorship
A dedicated governance council composed of senior club members and experienced cricketers manages squad selections, player welfare, tournament logistics, and ensures transparent, merit-based opportunities.
Zero Tolerance on Toxicity
Ego, abusive language, indiscipline, or disrespect toward teammates, umpires, or opponents have zero place at KAvach. Our dressing room is a safe, encouraging space where everyone uplifts one another.
Marquee Flagship Tournaments
Beyond weekly 20/30-over bilateral fixtures, we organize the KAvach Premier League (KPL) — an IPL-style franchise auction tournament with bespoke kits, and KAvach Timeout — our signature annual family sports festival.
Youth Talent Scholarship
We sponsor deserving young cricketers and students who cannot afford match and net fees. Exceptional youth players representing KSCA divisions train with our professionals completely free of cost.
