Rating India's limited-overs jerseys since 2000

Limited-overs cricket has changed by leaps and bounds in the past 25 years or so. Gone are the days where teams used to don white clothes and play with the red-ball in One-day Internationals. India donned their first coloured jersey during the 1985 World Championship of cricket but it was not until the 1992 Benson & Hedges World Cup in Australia where the fashion of donning vibrant coloured clothing really kicked on.

Since then, the Men in Blue have donned almost every shade of the blue colour. The jerseys have changed significantly over the years. With no active cricket taking place currently, why not delve into the history books and reminisce about the different jerseys that the Men in Blue have donned in the past 20 years?

Here we rate India’s limited-overs jerseys since 2000:

1. 2019-present: 6/10

The Indian cricket team unveiled their new jerseys ahead of the 2019 World Cup. While the color and design of the jersey had the resemblance of what they had donned in the past two-three years, what made this jersey different is that the dates of India’s World Cup triumphs- 1983 and 2011 50-over World Cups and the 2007 T20 World Cup- were emblazoned behind the back color.

Former Indian captain MS Dhoni– hailing its comfortable fabric- was the most impressed with the jersey.  “You may have many designs, but ultimately, it’s the fabric that really makes you feel comfortable. Wearing it (the jersey) right now, it feels so comfortable like you’re not wearing anything at all. It doesn’t weigh you down.”
