Rohit Sharma's India will be taking on West Indies in a two-match Test series to kick-start their journey into a new World Test Championship. The Men in Blue will be donning a new jersey for the series and will kick start their Windies Tour from July 12 onwards. Meanwhile, the jersey look has attracted trolls and criticism after the photos of the same went viral on social media.
India are now having a new lead sponsor in the form of Dream 11 for three years which replaces Byjus. The deal was confirmed by the Indian Board on July 1 and Windies series will be the first occasion where Rohit's men will be seen in a new jersey avatar. India earlier had Byjus as their sponsor but for the World Test Championship final against Australia, the country's name "India" was on display on the chest of the jersey in Adidas debut kit. However, after seeing 'Dream 11' flashing big in front of the jersey, fans are blasting and trolling BCCI.
Here are some reactions:
