T20 World Cup: Sportswear powerhouse Adidas, renowned as the official kit sponsor of the Indian cricket team, recently showcased the senior men’s team’s latest T20I jersey.

The timing of Adidas’s revelation hints at the possibility of India donning this new attire at the forthcoming T20 World Cup, scheduled to kick off on June 2 across the USA and the West Indies. Notably, Adidas assumed the role of India’s official kit sponsor in May 2023. Their design prowess was previously showcased during the World Test Championship final and the ODI World Cup, garnering significant fanfare. The ODI World Cup jersey, in particular, witnessed a surge in sales as enthusiasts clamored to acquire it before the prestigious tournament, hosted by India.
The buzz surrounding the rumored new kit for the T20 World Cup intensified as fans shared speculative images across various social media platforms. Adidas’s penchant for unveiling India’s kits in innovative ways has been evident since their initial collaboration. Last year, they orchestrated a grand unveiling ceremony at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium, captivating audiences with their creative flair.
The genesis of India’s association with Adidas dates back to May 23, 2023, when the BCCI announced a multi-year partnership with the sports apparel giant, marking a significant milestone in Indian cricket’s journey. This collaboration ensued following the conclusion of the previous kit sponsor, MPL’s contract, which was slated to conclude in 2023. Prior to Adidas, the mantle of kit sponsorship was briefly held by Killer Jeans, a prominent clothing brand, succeeding MPL.
