MUMBAI: When it comes to performance, what you wear can be just as critical as how you play. The Mumbai-based sportswear brand, Playr has taken that to heart with the launch of its Player Essentials collection—an all-in-one line of gear that caters to everyone from casual runners to IPL pros.

The collection includes a full suite of apparel, equipment, and accessories. Each piece has been crafted with functional ergonomics and smart fabric engineering, designed to deliver utility without compromising on comfort. Whether it’s the breathable Core Run Tee or the terrain-friendly gym gear, the brand is aiming to redefine what Indian athletes wear in training and recovery.

The collection features:

●    Apparel: Training Tees, Core Run Tees, Terrain Tees, Cricket Whites (junior and adult), after-sport jackets, versatile shorts, and pants

●    Equipment: Cricket bats, guards, yoga mats, fitness bikes

●    Accessories: Protein shakers, sippers, caps, performance socks

“At Playr, we believe running—and sports overall—is more than just a physical activity; it’s a lifestyle. The Player Essentials collection is built for those who demand durability, precision, and comfort in every stride”, said Playr co-founder and Icorets Pvt Ltd director Ravi Kukreja.

The brand’s philosophy, ‘Player First’, has resonated well beyond product shelves. Since its 2022 launch, Playr has partnered with seven out of 10 IPL teams. In 2025, the company renewed its tie-up with Chennai Super Kings and announced new collaborations with Gujarat Titans and Sunrisers Hyderabad—with more deals on the horizon.

For a brand born in the post-pandemic performance boom, Playr is proving it can do more than keep pace—it’s setting the tempo.
