Cricket is more of a religion in our country. This is probably one of those sports that brings people together or rather the world together. People are not just in love cricket as a sport in particular, but are in love with everything that has to do with it. They want to be associated with this game no matter how small or big the association is, and one such aspect of cricket is the team’s jersey. Being able to wear the same jersey as your team makes you feel like a part of the team. When it comes to Indian cricket team, we have had a whole bunch of different jerseys since the team’s inception, but the one thing that has remained constant is the color blue.

Have a look at the journey of our team’s jersey over the period of years #BleedBlue

1985- One of the initial jersey!

1992-World Cup saw a deep shade of blue

We saw two different jerseys in the year 1993

1996-World Cup: Multi-colored much?

1996 had another jersey as well which was quite the opposite of its earlier one

1998 was the year of experimentation it seems with three jerseys making its way in a row.

This first one looks like it came straight out of a Shammi Kapoor movie!

They probably hired another designer to rectify the disaster

And then things got better

1999-World Cup jersey

This one if probably one of my personal favorites

Another one in 1999

The change of millennium in 2000 marked the change of our jersey as well

The team welcomed the year 2000 in a different shade of blue

2002: The most loved jerseys of all time

2003-World Cup: When we came very close to winning the title once again

2007-ICC T20 World Cup: The lucky jersey that saw team India win the first edition of ICC T20 World cup

2009: Time changed and we raised the bar bringing in a very chic jersey

2011-World Cup: And we became world champions yet again

2012: Team India had never looked better!

2013: Way too many bits and pieces on this jersey didn’t really make a mark in the long run

2015-World Cup: This ironic jersey will be in our minds for a really long time while we missed being world champions by a really close margin

2016-Present day ICC T20 World Cup

So, which one is your favorite?
