In a historic turn of events, team India will wear an away jersey for the first time in its cricketing history during India vs England game in ICC Cricket World Cup 2019. The Indian cricket team, which usually sports a royal blue jersey, was instructed by the International Cricket Council (ICC) to wear an away jersey for its CWC 2019 match against hosts England on June 30 (Sunday). This was because both teams use blue-coloured kits, which might make it difficult in distinguishing the players of each team. Meanwhile, Social media, which has for long tried guessing the exact design and colour of India’s away jersey couldn’t hide its excitement and emotions.
