Indian men’s cricket team will don a new jersey at the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024. BCCI launched the jersey on May 6 which has a dash of saffron on the shoulders while most of the jersey reveals the color blue. Adidas, BCCI’s apparel partner, has designed the jersey. On their official Instagram account, BCCI’s official kit sponsor Adidas shared a video featuring captain Rohit Sharma, star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja and veteran spinner Kuldeep Yadav while Team India also reposted the video on their social media handle.
“One jersey. One Nation. Presenting the new Team India T20 jersey,” the caption of the video read. India’s tri-colour will be represented in the form of a stripe on the collar of the jersey, which has impressed most of the fans. At the same time, there are fans who are not liking the color combination of blue and saffron. Some memes have also come out since the launch of the new jersey.
