The Good Stuff
Bat repairs
Customers report successful handle repairs, refurbishing and upgrades, with one long-term reviewer receiving repaired bats within 1–2 days.
Bat care
Knocking, oiling, protective work and grip fitting are repeatedly mentioned, including bats that felt more comfortable after new grips.
Team jerseys
The shop is mentioned as a place to buy team jerseys, although stock availability should be checked before travelling.
Fast delivery
One customer said an order arrived within minutes and praised the communication, while another review confirms the shop can courier items.
Tips for a Better Visit
Check policy. Before removing packaging or buying a bat, ask for the exchange and refund terms in writing; one buyer said the policy was only raised afterward.
Inspect stock. Check ball manufacturing dates and inspect bats before purchase, as reviewers reported expired balls and bats breaking within a few deliveries.
Confirm prices. Compare the phone quote with WhatsApp before paying, since one customer received different prices through the two channels.
Confirm jerseys. For a team order, verify the exact sizes are physically in the shop before visiting; a phone confirmation did not match stock on arrival.
Clarify delivery. Ask whether Sunday delivery is available and what happens if the promised window is missed before paying an express-delivery fee.
Compare repair. Get a repair quote first, especially for bat threading, because one review compared 60 AED here with 15–20 AED elsewhere.

The Bottom Line
I SPORTS Karama is a cricket-focused shop in Al Karama with a useful mix of equipment sales and bat-care work. You can browse branded bats, buy cricket accessories or team jerseys, and hand over a bat for repairs, upgrades, knocking and oiling. Reviews also mention racket stringing and courier delivery.
The repair side is the clearest reason to consider a visit. Customers describe successful handle repairs, refurbishing and upgrades, and one long-term customer says bats were usually repaired within 1–2 days. Another review says knocking and oiling, protective work and new grips made a noticeable difference on the finished bats.
The shop is also praised for explaining products and helping shoppers choose equipment suited to their playing style. Experiences are not consistent, though. Multiple reviewers report rude service, conflicting phone and WhatsApp prices, delayed delivery and difficulty obtaining refunds or replacements.
There are also serious complaints about bats breaking quickly and a Tennex ball reportedly being old stock. Prices can run high: one customer paid 60 AED for bat threading and another reported 180 AED for a Yonex racket. Ask about returns, inspect stock and confirm prices and delivery timing before paying.
