My favourite JERSEY (and player of course).



It's Test Match, keep its legacy and decency alive by keeping minimal logos and artwork! Let it be plain white with the BCCI logo and a small Addidas logo on the other side. Somethings are best to be kept original. pic.twitter.com/7uEzBiEJzk

It will be interesting to know if they paid extra for the stripes on the shoulders, and if yes, then how much?

Given what MPL and Killer made, this really is a huge upgrade in terms of design. Also, Adidas being such a premium sports brand means the quality of the jersey would be top notch as well. I personally liked the test jersey the most. Also, T20I jersey could have been better.
