New Delhi, October 09, 2023 (PPI-OT): In view of rising Hindutva trend in India under Modi regime, it is speculated that Team India led by Rohit Sharma will wear saffron jersey in match against Pakistan on October 14 during the ongoing ICC World Cup 2023. According to Kashmir Media Service, India’s blockbuster match against arch-rivals Pakistan will be contested at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Saturday.
In the lead-up to the mouthwatering clash between the traditional rivals, Team India was in speculation about wearing an orange/saffron jersey for match No.12 of the ICC World Cup. India sported an alternate kit for the 2019 edition of the ICC World Cup in England and Wales.
The Men In Blue were also seen sporting an orange training jersey in the build-up to India’s World Cup 2023 opener against Australia in Chennai. Will India be wearing an alternate jersey in the World Cup 2023? The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has, however, dismissed the media reports.
Ashish Shelar, who is the honorary treasurer of the BCCI, has said that Rohit and Co. will only sport Team India colours (blue shade) at the ICC World Cup. “We categorically dismiss the media reports that Team India will be donning an alternative match kit against Pakistan. These reports are absolutely baseless and a work of someone’s imagination. The Men in Blue will sport India colours – Blue at ICC Cricket World Cup 2023,” the BCCI official said.
