The Indian cricket team will kick off the new season in
a brand new limited-overs kit, which was unveiled on Wednesday by
BCCI’s official apparel partner Nike ahead of the series against
Australia starting in Rajkot on Thursday.
Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni said the new kit has been developed with inputs from the cricketers.
“This particular jersey, a lot of feedback came from the players as to
what they actually wanted in their jersey and I hope it has been
incorporated,” Dhoni said.
“It makes us look good,
which is a good thing apart from playing good cricket. We will try it in
this series and the coming next series and the actual feedback will go
to Nike in couple of months,” he added.
“I think
blue is the colour our team has been associated with. People recognise
the Indian cricket team through different shades of blue. It is a big
thing for us. As youngsters, when you start playing cricket, if you are
good enough, there comes a time when that is something that you want in
life and it is a blue jersey with the (BCCI) logo on the left side.
“I think it is a big part of our life. Nike of course has provided us
with very good products for the team to enhance our performance, because
now at the top level, you have to be at your best. What really matters
is those small basic needs if you can do well than you can always come
up with good performances,” the skipper said.
