Team India to sport new tri-color jersey in England series
What's the story
The Indian men's cricket team, led by Rohit Sharma, will sport a new jersey in the upcoming three-match ODI series against England. The series will start at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Nagpur on Thursday. This new kit has a tri-color gradient on the iconic shoulder stripes, making it different from the jersey worn during last year's tour of Sri Lanka.
Jersey journey
Women's side first wore this jersey
The women's cricket team, led by Harmanpreet Kaur, first wore the new jersey in their home WODI series against Ireland last month. It was unveiled in November Jay Shah, the icumbent ICC chairman, along with the women's team. The men's team will continue wearing this kit during the impending England ODI series and the ICC Champions Trophy.

Tournament strategy
Team India's preparation for Champions Trophy
The upcoming series against England is important for the Indian team as they fine-tune their strategies for the Champions Trophy. The last ODI game India played was in July 2024. It is uncertain if a practice game will be played in Dubai ahead of the tournament, making this series even more important. All eyes are on seniors Rohit and Virat Kohli, who are chasing several records after a disappointing run in red-ball cricket.
