The Indian cricket team kicked off their tour of Zimbabwe with the first T20I match in Harare on Saturday. Following their victory in the 2024 T20 World Cup, senior players were given a rest, and a younger squad led by Shubman Gill was selected.

Despite Team India securing their second T20 World Cup title by defeating South Africa in the final, the team’s jersey for the Zimbabwe series features only one star. Typically, the stars on a team’s jersey represent the number of T20 World Cup wins, and India has claimed the title twice, in 2007 and 2024.

Reason Behind Team India Wearing Jersey With One Star

The discrepancy of one star is due to the timing of the jersey’s design. The Indian team departed for Zimbabwe before the T20 World Cup final, so their jerseys were made before the final match. The updated jersey with two stars was unveiled by Sanju Samson after the players returned from Barbados, albeit after a significant delay.

Thus, the current jerseys lack the second star, but future jerseys will likely feature both stars to acknowledge the two victories. In the match against Zimbabwe, India’s captain Shubman Gill won the toss and chose to field first.

“We will field first. I think it looks like a good surface. It won’t change much later. It has been long coming. We won an ICC event after 11 years. You always have some expectations from yourself. We have three debutants. Sharma, Jurel, and Parag make their debuts,” Gill said at the toss.
