AUS vs IND: Shikhar Dhawan provides a glimpse of Team India’s new jersey
Ahead of the forthcoming ODI series against Australia, India opener Shikhar Dhawan has unveiled the new jersey for the Men in Blue. India are in Australia for a full-fledged tour. Both the teams will play three ODIs, three T20Is before taking on each other in the much-anticipated four-match Border-Gavaskar Test series.
The upcoming ODI series will mark the resumption of international cricket for Team India. Virat Kohli & Co. have not played any game since March due to the coronavirus pandemic. And the Men in Blue will mark the occasion by wearing a new jersey. Shikhar Dhawan took to Twitter to post a selfie of himself in the new kit.
The new jersey has a darker shade of blue than more recent national team jerseys. In fact, the jersey is drawing a comparison with the 1992 World Cup. The jersey also sports the name of the BCCI’s new kit sponsors – MPL Sports. Going by the reaction on social media, one can say that the fans are already in love with the retro-themed Team India jersey.

Meanwhile, Australia will sport new jersey too in the upcoming T20 series against India. Cricket Australia had unveiled the jersey earlier this month. The hosts will wear specially-designed Indigenous shirts in the upcoming T20I series, a move aimed at recognizing and encouraging the Indigenous Australians’ role in the sport.
The Australian men’s team will celebrate our First Nations people this summer by wearing this incredible Indigenous playing shirt for the entirety of the #AUSvIND Dettol T20 series! ??❤️ pic.twitter.com/GmD36G8XoC
