The upcoming ODI World Cup has become a topic of conversation among cricket enthusiasts as images of India’s new jersey with two stars above the BCCI logo have surfaced online. This design has sparked speculation about the significance of the T20 World Cup trophy and its impact on the ODI format.
With less than three weeks remaining until India’s World Cup campaign begins at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, where they will face Australia on October 8th, the leaked images of India’s ODI World Cup jersey have created a buzz on social media. The key difference between this jersey and the one worn during the ongoing Asia Cup lies in the number of stars on the BCCI emblem.
The Asia Cup jersey proudly features three stars, representing India’s three World Cup victories: two in the ODI format in 1983 and 2011, and one in the T20 format in 2007. In contrast, the ODI World Cup jersey only has two stars, signifying India’s two ODI World Cup triumphs.
