Team India’s New Jersey for T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has finally revealed team India’s new jersey for the T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia. The revelation has come a month prior to the start of the Men’s Twenty-20 World Cup Down Under.
“To every cricket fan out there, this one’s for you. Presenting the all-new T20 Jersey – One Blue Jersey,” the BCCI tweeted as it revealed the jersey.
Indian Men captain Rohit Sharma and Women skipper Harmanpreet Kaur featured in the jersey reveal poster. Both the veterans were flanked by Suryakumar Yadav, Shafali Verma, Hardik Pandya and Renuka Singh.
From now onwards, the Indian Men and Women cricketers will don the newly designed light blue kit in all international matches.
