In the lead-up to the much-anticipated World Cup game between India and Pakistan at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium on October 14, there was speculation around a change in the Indian team’s playing jersey.

However, the BCCI treasurer Ashish Shelar dismissed the alleged reports and stated that ‘the Men in Blue will sport India colours – Blue at the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023’.

The earlier rumours centred around India donning an orange/saffron jersey in its duel against Pakistan. While it is a fact that the squad members donned an orange jersey for training schedules, they have always turned out in the blue shade for matches including the latest World Cup game against Australia here at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium on Sunday.
