XtraTime Web Desk: With less than 100 days to go before the start of 2019 ICC World Cup, Indian cricket team’s jersey partner Nike unveiled the team’s jersey which they will wear in the mega event. On the eve of the opening match of the ODI series against Australia in Hyderabad, India skipper Virat Kohli & former captain MS Dhoni unveiled the new jersey today. Beside Kohli & Dhoni, Harmanpreet Kaur, Jemimah Rodrigues, Ajinkya Rahane and young Prithvi Shaw were present during the launch ceremony. At the launch, skipper Kohli said it is the best Nike jersey he has worn in ten years.” Similar to millions of Indians across the country, this team embodies a fearless spirit that we truly believe in and that’s what the world sees every time we step into the field. Over the years our cricket has evolved – the way we approach games and embrace situations are different but what stands out is the confidence in our individual skills and our commitment to succeed as a team. The new team kit is a testament to our style of play, it is inspired by us and the new India.” The jersey features three stars on the inside at the back, signifying India’s three World Cup titles (two ODI World Cup and one T20I World Cup). Along with the stars, the dates, scores and co-ordinates of the venues of Team India’s World Cup triumphs have also been inscribed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BiZaCgT-2uA
