Why are there two stars on the Indian cricket team's jersey for the T20I series against Sri Lanka? This question might come to mind of fans who would look forward to watching the Men in Blue in action. Indian cricket is ushering in a new era in the shortest format, with Suryakumar Yadav succeeding Rohit Sharma as the T20I captain of the side. Rohit ended his T20I career on a high, winning the T20 World Cup 2024 just last month, and Suryakumar will have massive shoes to fill as he takes charge of the side. Also, it is Gautam Gambhir's first assignment as Indian cricket team head coach and it will be interesting to see if he can replicate his IPL success at the international level. India vs Sri Lanka Live Streaming Online, 1st T20I 2024: How To Watch IND vs SL Cricket Match Free Live Telecast on TV?

Why are There Two Stars on Team India’s Jersey for T20I Series Against Sri Lanka?

The Indian cricket team is sporting two stars just above the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) logo for the T20I series. This is because India are two-time T20 World Cup winners. The two stars denote India's T20 World Cup wins in the years 2007 and 2024. Earlier, the Indian team's jersey for the Zimbabwe T20I series had just star as the new kit with two stars was not printed with the squad being announced before the T20 World Cup 2024 title triumph.
