New Delhi: The Board of Control of Cricket in India (BCCI) unveiled the new jersey of Team Indian for the upcoming tournaments on Sunday and it has attracted many hilarious responses from the fans.
In a ‘great initiative’, the jersey was unveiled not by the national team, but by the Mumbai Under-19 women’s cricket players for the first time in Indian cricket history. The national team will be wearing this jersey for the upcoming series against Australia, South Africa, and then the T20 WC.

“This is a good looking jersey. Don’t let anyone else convince you otherwise. It will look better in Australia during the Wt20 as the ugly byjus logo will disappear and only ‘India’ will remain on the jersey.”

The new one replaces the Billion Cheers Jersey at all T20 International competitions. However, the players will continue to sport the Billion Cheers Jersey in ODIs.
“The jersey pays homage to the legions of fans that span different genders and age groups, and transcend geographical borders,” the kit sponsor said in a release.
“It is styled with a pattern of equilateral triangles – a universal symbol of the blend of energy, spirit and power – that celebrates the unswerving support of the fans who have stood behind the team through thick and thin,” it added.
