New Delhi: The new design for the Indian cricket team jersey was unveiled on Thursday as sporting goods manufacturing giant Adidas shared a video on their social media handles that revealed the brand new iteration of the famous Indian blue jersey.
Ahead of the blockbuster ICC World Test Championship 2023 Final between India and Australia, manufactured Adidas delighted the cricket-mad population of the nation with the reveal of three iterations of the jersey for the upcoming season as a light blue tone jersey popped up in the center of the frame flanked by the traditional white jersey, set to be donned during Test games, and a darker tone of blue on the left.
The BCCI announced a partnership with Adidas recently in a multi-year sponsorship deal, which runs through March 2028, and will give the sports goods manufacturer exclusive rights to supply kits across all formats of the game.
Furthermore, the German company will be the sole supplier for all match, training & travel wear for the BCCI- including the men’s, women’s & youth teams.
Rohit Sharma and co. made their way to England, where the championship match between the familiar rivals will be played out at the Oval.
The summit clash is slated to being on the 7th of June as India goes in search of the coveted prize in the traditional and longest format of the game.
