NEW DELHI / RAIPUR: Team India on Wednesday unveiled their official jersey for the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup 2026 — exactly what fans have been waiting for. The reveal happened during the innings break of the second ODI against South Africa national cricket team at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Cricket Stadium in Raipur. The jersey was presented by former Indian skipper Rohit Sharma — now brand ambassador for the tournament — along with in‑squad member Tilak Varma.
The new kit sports a deep‑blue base with darker vertical stripes, accented by bold orange panels on the sides. The collar features a trim in the colours of the Indian tricolour (saffron, white, green), giving the jersey a modern yet patriotic vibe. The front proudly displays the national emblem along with sponsor logos, and the word “INDIA” emblazoned in orange — a visual nod to both heritage and contemporary style.
The timing of the unveiling adds extra significance: with India set to host the T20 World Cup alongside Sri Lanka starting February 7, 2026, this jersey will represent the “Men in Blue” as they aim to defend their title and take on fierce rivals including Pakistan national cricket team, USA national cricket team, Netherlands and Namibia in Group A.
According to the kit manufacturer adidas, the jersey uses lightweight, breathable fabric with their “HEAT.RDY” technology — designed to keep players cool and comfortable on the pitch. It marks a fresh chapter for Indian cricket gear, combining performance with pride.
As the countdown to the T20 World Cup begins, fans across India are already buzzing — and the new look certainly has raised the anticipation.
