Asia Cup: Ranking all-time jerseys of 8 teams of the tournament
A jersey serves as one of the primary identities of a team and also the fans. A lot of emotions are connected to a jersey and that is why makers tend to invest a lot of time in designing the same.
4. Pakistan {PAK} (2010)
The 10th edition of the Asia Cup also featured only four teams - India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh. The tournament was held in Sri Lanka. As a team, Pakistan did not have a memorable campaign but their captain Shahid Afridi and their jersey stole the show.
The primary colour in the Pakistan jersey has always been green. However, the colour shade they wore during the Asia Cup was much lighter than what was prevalent in most of their previous jerseys. The soothing light-green colour was accompanied by a deeper shade of green on the neck and shoulders. It gave the vibes of the iconic jersey they wore during their triumphant campaign in the 1992 World Cup.
Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi won the Player of the Series award after finishing as the highest run-getter in the tournament but failed to take his team to the finals. They were also defeated by arch-rivals India in an epic thriller where tempers flared on a couple of occasions. Gautam Gambhir and Kamran Akmal got into a war of words before Harbhajan Singh and Shoaib Akhtar had a go at each other.
The Indian off-spinner eventually won the game for India with the bat. Pakistan have surprisingly won the Asia Cup only a couple of times. They have always had phenomenal bowling attacks but their batting looks better compared to recent years with a settled top four in Fakhar Zaman, Shan Masood, Babar Azam, and Mohammad Rizwan. Pakistan have a great chance of winning their third title.
