‘Aur better ho sakti thi’ – Fans react to the first look of Indian cricket team players in new jersey
Indian cricket team’s new kit sponsor Adidas finally released a new promo where the players from both Men and Women’s teams were seen donning the new jerseys. The jerseys were already revealed by Adidas and the Indian Cricket Board a couple of days ago. Now, it can also be seen how our favourite cricketers would look after wearing those new jerseys and stepping out on the cricket field.
Indian men’s skipper Rohit Sharma and women’s skipper Harmanpreet Kaur, along with Hardik Pandya and Virat Kohli, were wearing new jerseys in a video posted by Adidas and Indian Cricket Board on their social media. Apart from them, players like Shubman Gill, Jasprit Bumrah, Smriti Mandhana and Renuka Thakur were also seen donning the new jerseys in the video. Along with these, Adidas also announced that the jerseys will be available for fans from June 4 on their website for INR 4999/-.
This is just outstanding!

India to don new jersey in WTC final against Australia
It can be seen that Adidas has designed separate jerseys for ODIs and T20Is, while also upgrading the Test jersey with the iconic three-blue coloured stripes on the shoulder. The Indian team will be first seen officially donning new jerseys in the upcoming World Test Championship final against Australia starting on June 7 at the Oval, England.
The runners-up of the previous edition, India will be looking to clinch the Test mace in their second attempt. Notably, India lost against New Zealand by 8 wickets in the final of the 2019-21 edition on June 23rd at the Rose Bowl, Southampton. India is awaiting their first international title after the 2013 Champions Trophy in England.
Meanwhile, Australia will be looking to settle scores with the Indian team in the longest format of the game. The Aussies have lost their last four Test series against India in 2017, 2018-19, 2020-21, and 2023. Now, the Pat Cummins’ men will be looking to settle all things at once by winning the final against India.
Squad for WTC final:
India: Rohit Sharma (captain), Ravichandran Ashwin, KS Bharat, Shubman Gill, Ravindra Jadeja, Virat Kohli, Ishan Kishan, Cheteshwar Pujara, Axar Patel, Ajinkya Rahane, Mohammad Shami, Mohammad Siraj, Shardul Thakur, Jaydev Unadakt, Umesh Yadav
Australia: Pat Cummins (captain), Scott Boland, Alex Carey, Cameron Green, Marcus Harris, Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head, Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, Nathan Lyon, Josh Inglis, Todd Murphy, Steve Smith, Mitchell Starc, David Warner

This is surely a collectors edition jersey without shirt sponsor logo.
