Srinagar: Coming out clear and clearing the confusion, BCCI has said that Team India won’t be wearing Orange colour jersey vs Pakistan in Ahmedabad during its World Cup 2023 match.
In the lead-up to the much-anticipated World Cup game on October 14, there was speculation around a change in the Indian team’s playing jersey.
However, the BCCI treasurer Ashish Shelar dismissed the alleged reports and stated that ‘the Men in Blue will sport India colours.
“We categorically dismiss the media reports that India will be donning an alternative match kit against Pakistan. These reports are absolutely baseless & work of someone’s imagination. The Men in Blue will sport India colours – Blue at ICC Cricket World Cup 2023”.
The earlier rumours centred around India donning an orange/saffron jersey in its duel against Pakistan.
While it is a fact that the squad members donned an orange jersey for training schedules, they have always turned out in the blue shade for matches including the latest World Cup game against Australia at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium on Sunday.
