The Indian kit sponsors took to Twitter to reveal the look of the Indian team’s jersey. The apparel giants who are also the kit sponsors for the Indian cricket team did something unique. The three white stripes on the shoulders were replaced by the Indian Tri-Color.

Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli along with every member of the Indian squad for the World Cup are featured. The main message of the video is "3 ka Dream" which roughly states the dream of a 3^rd World Cup title. The last time India won a global title was in 2013. MS Dhoni and his side beat England by 5 runs to win the Champions Trophy. Rohit Sharma has just led the Indian team to the Asia Cup 2023 title win.

India will play Australia on 8^th October in the first match of the ODI World Cup. 14^th October is the day everyone is waiting for India and Pakistan then face off for the 8^th time in the ODI World Cup at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
