Indian team to wear ‘lucky shirt’ in upcoming T20 World Cup

Indian cricket team has been ordered to wear the same jersey that they wore during the 2011 World Cup in the upcoming ICC World Twenty20. The reason for that is that the same jersey will bring good luck to the Indian team 

"It's our decision to ask the players to wear the jersey which they had used during the 2011 World Cup," Indian cricket board official Ratnakar Shetty said.

Nike, the Indian team's clothing sponsor came up with a new jersey particularly for the T20 team.

Indian team captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni at the launch said that the design will help fans identify with the shortest format of the game.

"When we see players in white, we know they are playing Test cricket. Similarly, when you see them in blue, you know an ODI is going on. Now that we have a different T20 shirt, there will be a strong association between the format and the jersey,” Dhoni said.

Star Indian opener Virender Sehwag also praised the new design, he said, “I play with my heart and I play for the national flag," he said. "I like this jersey because the national colours are on my heart.”
