This is different from the jersey Indian cricketers wore most recently during the Asia Cup 2023, where they lifted the winning trophy.
That jersey had three white stripes.
Apart from this, the kit will bear two star symbols above the BCCI logo instead of the usual three - glorifying India’s World Cup triumph in 1983 and 2011.
The Indian cricket team has been sporting Adidas kits since its partnership with the sports apparel giant in May 2023.
