RAIPUR: India’s jersey provider Adidas on Wednesday launched a new kit for the T20 format ahead of the World Cup 2026, to be played in India and Sri Lanka from February 7.
The new jersey was launched during the second One-Day International between India and South Africa in Raipur. Rohit Sharma and Tilak Varma were called during the mid-innings of the second ODI to unveil the new jersey with BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia in presence.
Rohit, who led India to a T20 World Cup win in 2024, has been named the Brand Ambassador of the 2026 edition.
“It took us more than 15 years to win the T20 World Cup trophy after winning it in 2007. Now the World Cup will happen in India, and my wishes are always with the team. It’s going to be an exciting tournament. I am sure everyone will be behind the team, supporting them,” Rohit, who has now retired from the T20 format, said.
India has been pitted in Group A along with Namibia, Netherlands, USA and Pakistan.
