“To be very honest we are not aware what colours we are going to be wearing, we haven’t given any thought to that and all our focus is only on the match tomorrow. We are focusing on the game and not aware of the colour we are getting. We bleed blue and blue is going to be predominantly the colour that is it,” Arun said during a pre-match press conference on Wednesday (June 26).
There are no official jersey pictures or statement released by The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) till now.
EDITOR’S NOTE: At the time of the filing this post, there was no official statement by BCCI or any other cricket official/authority on whether the Indian team will wear the new jersey on 30th or not. Hence, this proves the above post is misleading.
