Team India launched new jersey for Champions Trophy
At the same time, just a day before the tournament started, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) shared the first look of Team India’s jersey with the fans. A special thing has been seen on this jersey which remained the subject of discussion earlier. Actually, Pakistan’s name is written on Team India’s jersey. There is a lot of talk about this now.
The BCCI has shared pictures of Team India players on social media in which all the players are seen in Team India’s new jersey for the Champions Trophy. All 15 players including captain Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer got a photoshoot in this new jersey. Its pictures have been shared on the social media handle of BCCI. The name of the host Pakistan is written on this new jersey of Team India.
After all, why is Pakistan’s name on Team India’s jersey
Let me tell you, even though this tournament is being played under the hybrid model, Pakistan is hosting the Champions Trophy. For this reason, the name of Pakistan must have been written on whatever team will launch jersey for this tournament. According to the rule, it is mandatory for the host country to be on the jersey of every team. However, earlier it was being said that. India’s team will not write the name of Pakistan on their jerseys for the Champions Trophy. There was also a lot of sharp reactions in Pakistan.
India’s updated team for ICC Champions Trophy, 2025: Rohit Sharma (Captain), Shubman Gill (Vice-Qetan), Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wicket-keeper), Rishabh Pant (wicket-keeper), Hardik Pandya, Akshar Patel, Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, Harshit Rana, Mohammed Shami, Arshdeep Singh, Ravindra Jadeja, Varun Chakraborty.
