The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), on Monday, unveiled Team India’s new jersey for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024, which will be held in the West Indies and the United States. Adidas has been retained as the jersey sponsor by the BCCI as seen in the pictures.
The jersey, contrary to the previous ones, has been designed on a dual tone with a prominence of orange colour. The arms and shoulders have been given an orangish tone along with the borders around the waist, while the rest of the jersey remains in the iconic blue of Team India.
Team India’s jersey has the logo of Dream11 at the centre with India written above it. The jersey has BCCI’s logo on the left side chest while the right one features the logo of Adidas.
The video featuring Indian captain Rohit Sharma, all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja and wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav was posted by Adidas. The three Indian stalwarts were seen looking at the Helicopter as it carried Team India’s new jersey for the T20 World Cup 2024 with the picturesque mountains of Dharmshala in the backdrop.
“One jersey. One Nation. Presenting the new Team India T20 jersey,” captioned Adidas on an Instagram post on Monday.
