India batter Virat Kohli was forced to leave the field after wearing the wrong jersey during the ICC World Cup 2023 match against Pakistan in Ahmedabad on Saturday.

Kohli initially took the field with a jersey sporting plain white stripes on the shoulders rather than India’s World Cup jersey, which displays tri-coloured stripes.
