BCCI launches Team Indias jersey for T20 World Cup 2026 - WATCH
Rohit Sharma and Tilak Varma unveiled India's new T20I jersey during the mid-innings break of the second ODI against South Africa in Raipur on Wednesday.
New Delhi: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) launched a new Indian men’s team jersey for the 2026 T20 World Cup in Raipur on Wednesday, December 3. The jersey was revealed on the sidelines of the second ODI match against South Africa.
Rohit Sharma and Tilak Varma were called during the mid-innings of the second ODI to launch the new jersey in the presence of BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia. Rohit, who led India to a T20 World Cup victory in 2024, has been named the Brand Ambassador of the 2026 edition.
The jersey carries a deep blue colour with orange panels along the sides. The tricolour has been moved to the collar, while vertical blue stripes run across the front side to add texture.
Speaking at the jersey launch, Rohit said that they won their first World Cup in 2007, and had to wait more than 15 years to win the next one, so it’s been a long journey. He further added that it’s been a long road with many ups and downs, but it felt great to lift the trophy again.
"Now, with the World Cup happening in India, it’s going to be an exciting tournament. My best wishes are always with the team, and I’m sure everyone will be behind them, supporting them and doing their best," Rohit added.
