Watch: Adidas Unveils Team India's Jersey For ICC World Cup 2023

Adidas has unveiled Team India’s jersey for the upcoming ICC World Cup 2023. The upcoming tournament is a historic one for India as they will be hosting the ODI World Cup alone for the very first time. In the past, India had co-hosted the World Cup on three occasions – 1987, 1996 and 2011.

The tournament will be played across ten venues – Ahmedabad, Kolkata, Mumbai, Chennai, Bengaluru, Pune, Hyderabad, Delhi, Dharamsala and Lucknow. A total of ten teams will be fighting it out in the thirteenth edition of the ICC ODI World Cup. The competition is scheduled to be played from October 5 to November 19.

India are eyeing their third ODI World Cup title. The Men in Blue last won the competition in 2011 and made it to the semifinal stage in the last two editions under the captaincy of MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli. India are one of the favorites for the upcoming edition and will be looking to go all the way under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma.

With just over two weeks remaining before the ICC World Cup 2023 gets underway, Adidas, Team India’s official kit sponsor, has unveiled the jersey for the Men in Blue. On Wednesday (September 20), Adidas posted a video on their social media platforms to release the jersey.

In the World Cup jersey, the three white stripes on the shoulders have been replaced with vibrant tricolor. There are also two stars above the BCCI logo to represent India’s two triumphs in the ODI World Cup in 1983 and 2011.

They have named their World Cup campaign as ‘3 Ka Dream’ (Roughly translates to the dream of 3 where 3 represents India’s dream of the third ODI World Cup).

“3 Ka Dream’ gives words to over a billion Indian fans’ dream to see their team win a third ODI World Cup,” Adidas said in an official press release. Adidas’ song for the World Cup campaign has been sung by rapper Raftaar. The campaign video features a number of India stars such as captain Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Hardik Pandya, Shubman Gill, Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Mohammed Siraj, and Kuldeep Yadav, alongside Indian cricket fans.
