BCCI unveiled the new jersey for both men and women's team ahead of ICC World T20 tournament.
The image features Indian Skippers MS Dhoni and Mithali Raj with players Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane, R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja among others.
In the image tweeted by BCCI, we can see that the new uniform is a tad darker than the current shade with orange stripes in triangualr format across the right shoulder. The new collar shows a bandh-gala influence. The trousers are four-way stretch, giving durability in the high-octane atmosphere on field for T20 format.
“At every stage, the meaning of wearing India jersey changes. When you are the senior player, you have everyone on your shoulders and you can’t let them down. When you are a debutant, you are playing for yourself and all those people who have made you a player. It is different, but when I don the signature blue kit, I carry it proudly, believing I will win,” said Mithali Raj in a press release.
Ajinkya Rahane, shares a similar sentiment: "Wearing the kit, going out there and playing for my country – it’s an overwhelming feeling, which is almost impossible to express in words. But whenever I wear the kit, I believe I’m a hero.”
