Here's all you need to know about inspiration behind Team India's new jersey

Team India's jersey for the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup 2022 was unveiled on Sunday, September 18. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) took to Twitter to reveal the jersey. The front of the jersey has light tones of Azure Blue while the sleeves feature dark tones of Royal Blue.

The jersey comes in shades of the iconic and fan-favourite blue colour for a befitting look for the champions of the game. The Men in Blue will don the same jersey in the upcoming T20I series against Australia and South Africa. 

"The jersey pays homage to the legions of fans that span different genders and age groups, and transcend geographical borders," the kit sponsor said in a release. "It is styled with a pattern of equilateral triangles - a universal symbol of the blend of energy, spirit and power - that celebrates the unswerving support of the fans who have stood behind the team through thick and thin," it added.

In the pics uploaded by BCCI on their official social media handles, the photo consisted of Indian skipper Rohit Sharma, star all-rounder Hardik Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav. While women's cricketers like Renuka Singh and captain Harmanpreet Kaur were among the players from the women's team in the picture.

Meanwhile, team India is set to take on Australia in a T20I series slated to start on September 20. The first match of the series will be played in Mohali. The Men in Blue will welcome two of their prominent pacers- Harshal Patel and Jasprit Bumrah. Similarly, express pacer Umesh Yadav has also been named in the squad as a replacement for Mohammed Shami. 

Talking about the visiting team, skipper Aaron Finch is in desperate need of runs and this could be his make-or-break series. The right-handed batter has not been able to get going in the international circuit for quite some time and he will want to have a good outing with the bat in the upcoming series.
