Team India unveils new kit ahead of World T20 2016

Team India, men and women’s team will be seen in the new Nike T20 kit when they set on the field during the upcoming World T20 2016 at home.

The kit looks bold, with a contemporary striped pattern, with which they wish to express the excitement and responsibility the players feel when representing their country.

India women’s team captain Mithali Raj said, “At every stage, the meaning of wearing India jersey changes,”

“When you are the senior player, you have everyone on your shoulders and you can’t let them down. When you are a debutant, you are playing for yourself and all those people who have made you a player. It is different, but when I don the signature blue kit, I carry it proudly, believing I will win,” Mithali added.

Indian middle-order batsman Ajinkya Rahane said: “Wearing the kit, going out there and playing for my country – it’s an overwhelming feeling, which is almost impossible to express in words. But whenever I wear the kit, I believe I’m a hero,”
