adidas, official kit sponsor of the BCCI, on Monday unveiled Team India’s official jersey for the upcoming ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024.
The sportswear giant took to their official Instagram account to share a video featuring Team India’s captain Rohit Sharma, star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, and veteran spinner Kuldeep Yadav. In the video, the trio can be seen watching a giant-sized replica of the new Indian jersey flying over the HPCA Stadium.
Team India also reposted the video on their social media handle, generating buzz among fans ahead of the much-anticipated tournament, which kicks off on June 2 in the USA and the West Indies.
The new kit, as seen in the video, has a healthy mix of blue and orange. The shoulders of the shirt are orange while the remaining part is blue. Two orange stripes run toward the waist parallelly. The three trademark stripes of adidas are in white on the new Indian T20I jersey. There is also a tri-coloured stripe around the collar of the shirt.
For the record, adidas came on board as India’s official kit sponsor in May 2023. The sportswear company designed the kit for the World Test Championship final and the ODI World Cup last year. India’s jersey for the ODI World Cup was a hit amongst fans as shirt sales spiked before the showpiece event, which was hosted by India.
adidas have used intriguing ways to unveil India kits since they came on board as the kit sponsors. Their first set of India’s Test, ODI and T20I jerseys were unveiled at the Wankhede Stadium last year.
