Xtra Time Web Desk: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Wednesday unveiled the new jerseys Virat Kohli and his boys will wear for the upcoming T20 World Cup which gets underway in UAE and Oman from October 17.
As reported earlier the Indian team will not wear the retro jersey for the marquee event. The new jersey is a ready-to-wear polyester jacquard product that is designed for absolute comfort and has super-fast moisture absorbent and quick-drying qualities. The kit also features three stars on top of the BCCI logo. The three stars represent the three World Cups that Team India has won viz., inaugural T20 World Cup in 2007 and 50 over World Cups in 1983 and 2011.
Indian captain Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja and Jasprit Bumrah could be spotted flaunting the new kit. The new kit has been named the ‘Billion Cheers Jersey’. It replaces the 1992 World Cup pattern-like jersey that the Indian cricket team had started to wear towards the end of last year. MPL Sports are the official kit sponsors for the Indian team’s new kit.
“Presenting the Billion Cheers Jersey! The patterns on the jersey are inspired by the billion cheers of the fans,” the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) tweeted as the board shared the picture on social media.
It is learnt there will be another set of jerseys that will be unveiled later in the day.
