The new T20 jersey of the India National Cricket Team for the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 was officially revealed on Wednesday, December 3.
The huge jersey revelation was done during the mid-innings break of the second ODI between the India National Cricket Team and the South Africa National Cricket Team at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium in Raipur.
Rohit Sharma and Tilak Varma handed out new T20I jerseys
India lost their 20th consecutive toss in the second ODI against the Proteas, and they were invited to bat first in the match. They made sure to make the most of the decision and piled up a colossal score on the board.
Although openers Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal weren't able to fire, the centuries from Ruturaj Gaikwad and Virat Kohli shifted momentum towards the hosts before KL Rahul finished things off on a strong note, steering India to 358/5.
After the end of the first innings, a small ceremony was organised at the venue, where the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary, Devajit Saikia, was also present.
The new T20I jersey of the Indian team was revealed during the ceremony before Devajit Saikia and an adidas representative handed the new jerseys to Rohit Sharma and Tilak Varma.
Notably, Rohit Sharma, who is the only Indian player to win two T20 World Cup titles - one as a player and one as captain - is the brand ambassador of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026.
Talking about the jersey, it features a deep blue base, designed with vertical stripes in two shades of blue - a darker navy blue and a slightly lighter royal blue. These alternating stripes run from top to bottom, giving the jersey a bold, textured look.
On both sides of the torso, there are striking orange panels that add contrast, and the collar is styled in a V-neck design, bordered with tricolour, representing the Indian national flag.
The ICC T20 World Cup 2026 is set to be played from February 7 to March 8, 2026, across 8 different venues in India and Sri Lanka.
India National Cricket Team have been been placed in Group A along with the USA, Pakistan, the Netherlands, and Namibia. Also, the high-octane clash between the arch-rivals India National Cricket Team and the Pakistan National Cricket Team, is all set to be held in Colombo on February 15.

We won the first World Cup in 2007 and we took about 15 odd years to win the next World Cup - Rohit Sharma
Rohit Sharma was also asked to deliver a speech after the jersey reveal, and he said that India won a T20 World Cup trophy after a very long time in 2024 and backed the Suryakumar Yadav-led side to defend the title at home. He stated:
"It's been a long journey. We won the first World Cup in 2007 and we took about 15 odd years to win the next World Cup. So I think it was a long journey.
"We've seen a lot of ups and downs, but it was good to win the trophy. And now, I'm sure everybody will be behind the team and supporting the team and doing their best."
