Have You Seen India's New Jersey For ICC T20 World Cup 2026 At Home?
The new Indian T20I jersey, in collaboration with Adidas, was revealed in front of a jam-packed Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh stadium in Raipur which hosted the 2nd ODI between India and South Africa
Summary
During the mid-innings break in the 2nd ODI match between India and South Africa, the new Indian T20I jersey was revealed in front of a jam-packed Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh stadium in Raipur.
Fans had come to see their favourite players, especially Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, set the field on fire. Following the magnificent Indian 1st innings, where they did miss out on scoring 30-40 runs extra, the crowd witnessed a jersey launch like no other.
BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia was present alongside Adidas India's general manager Vijay Chauhan. They were joined by star batter Tilak Varma and the 2024 T20 World Cup winning captain Rohit Sharma, who has also been appointed as the ambassador for the 2026 edition here.
Subsequently, India's 15-man squad for their upcoming 5-match T20I series was also announced through Indian cricket team's social media handles.
What Is Special About The New Jersey?
The new Indian T20I jersey blends nostalgic 1990s striped designs with modern performance technology, thanks to Adidas. It features a deep blue base with alternating darker vertical stripes across the front.
Vibrant orange side panels create a striking contrast, while the Indian tricolour has been subtly integrated into the collar design, much like the one India wore during the previous T20 World Cup.
Rohit Sharma, who scored 14 runs in the 2nd ODI, said that his pride remains the same even if he has bid farewell to the shortest format.
"From cheering as a young fan to lifting trophies for the country, this game has given me memories for a lifetime. Now, as I step into a new chapter, the pride remains the same. This new Team India jersey reminds us that whether you're in the stands or in the field, we all wear the same colours and believe in the same dream for India." - Rohit Sharma said during the jersey unveiling.
