In the meantime, Shreyas said, “The game is not the same without you guys cheering us on”. At the same time, Hardik added, “Click on the link and be a part of the new Team India jersey”.
Sharing the video on Instagram, BCCI said, “The game is not really the same without you guys cheering us on! Show your fandom for the game by sharing your fan moments. Head to our story for more details”. From what could be understood by looking at the video, India will sport a lighter shade of blue in their kits, than the dark blue shade that India currently wears, alongside an eye-catching design.
