Jasprit Bumrah opened the bowling for India on Day 5 of the World Test Championship final and had some problem with his jersey before he changed it.

Team India pacer Jasprit Bumrah had a change of jersey for a reason still unknown during the first hour of the fifth day of the World Test Championship (WTC) final against New Zealand. However, the he came back wearing wasn't the jersey in which India is playing the final.

Bumrah came back wearing the regular Indian Test jersey after the change, the one with the sponsor's logo on the front rather than India printed on it, which is the norm in every ICC tournament and game. Bumrah even bowled one over wearing that jersey and later realised that it wasn't the one and rushed back to change it.

After which, he was back with the correct jersey with India and ICC WTC Final 2021 printed on the same.

For any ICC event, the country's name is printed at the centre of the jersey and not the kit sponsor. The sponsors can be mentioned on the sleeves, however, it has to be country's name in the centre and the tournament logo on either side of the collar on the chest.

Bumrah, like the Day 3, had another off day as he failed to get any wicket in New Zealand's first batting innings.
