On Wednesday, the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) skipper, MS Dhoni unveiled their new jersey on Wednesday ahead of the 14th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 and the players just can’t wait to wear it on the field. Dhoni’s deputy, CSK vice-captain Suresh Raina reached Mumbai and immediately shared his excitement of wearing the new kit.
CSK has made an interesting change in their new jersey as they added a new camouflage design on the shoulders. The camouflage design is a tribute to the Indian armed forces. The jersey also features the logo of CSK’s new shirt sponsor, Myntra. The shirt also has 3 stars above their logo, which depicts them winning 3 titles they have won so far in the IPL. The trademark roaring lion logo finds it place at the left corner of the shirt.
