Much-loved Bengaluru sports goods dealer to shut shop permanently
A much-loved sports goods dealer in the city, Hatrick Sports, will soon shut shop permanently. The decision was taken after its owner, Ravi Sondhi, passed away in May this year. Mr. Sondhi’s children are not in a position to take over the reins. The shop, which is now selling all its remaining stock at discounted prices, counted several international sportspersons as its customers. The store was inaugurated in 1977, by then Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) president M. Chinnaswamy. Mr. Sondhi himself was passionate about cricket, serving as the president of popular league side Friends Union Cricket Club (FUCC). His son, Aditya, a senior advocate recalled the connection between famous cricketers and the store. “Many Karnataka cricketers bought their first kits at Hatrick Sports. Rahul Dravid bought his first bat here,” Mr. Aditya, a former State junior cricketer, said.More Related News
