Ravindra Jadeja posted a picture of him wearing a Team India sweater as the team gets ready for the final of the World Test Championship (WTC) next month. “Rewind to the 90’s”, wrote Jadeja as he sported that sweater that had “India” knitted on the front and “ICC WTC Final 2021” on the side. The pic drew a comment from former India cricketer Wasim Jaffer, who responded with an iconic Anil Kapoor dialogue. India will play New Zealand in the final of the Test Championship starting June 18 in Southampton.
The sleeveless sweater that Jadeja is seen wearing has no logo of any sponsor understandably since the World Test Championship final is an International Cricket Council (ICC) event and an individual team’s sponsor cannot be displayed.There is a small Board of Control for Cricket in India’s (BCCI) logo on the left-hand side at breast-pocket level while on the right side is the ICC World Test Championship logo.
The retro design to which Jadeja is referring to comprises two stripes around the neck.The current India team’s jumper doesn’t have stripes. Also the name of current team’s sponsor ‘Byju’s’ is emblazoned on the shirt-front. The WTC jumper doesn’t have the sponsor’s name. Instead, it has India emblazoned in bold letters.
The India squad, led by Virat Kohli, is set to leave for England on June 2 in a charter flight from Mumbai. The players will undergo a 10-day quarantine on arrival in Southampton ahead of the WTC final.
