The Indian Cricket team jersey for ICC T20 World Cup 2016 has been unveiled and the Men and Women’s squad is all pumped up stepping onto the field to greet their nation’s cheers at the T20 games in India.

Showcasing the country’s signature blue, the design features a jersey with a new collar that has clear Asian influences. Four-way stretch pants feature articulated patterning on the knee section to withstand aggressive play. Bold, with a contemporary striped motif, the kits express the excitement and responsibility the players feel when representing their country.

Ajinkya Rahane, batsman of the Men’s India National Cricket Team shares a similar sentiment: "Wearing the kit, going out there and playing for my country – it’s an overwhelming feeling, which is almost impossible to express in words. But whenever I wear the kit, I believe I’m a hero,” he declares.

Nike is the official apparel sponsor of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). Starting March 6, 2016, Team India kits will be available at Nike India retail and through Nikecricket.in.

Here's what Virat Kohli had to say. "Previous legends of the Indian cricket team taught us how to fight, how to become competitors on the international stage and inspired us to do the same. The current team is dedicated to winning, we are all very critical of ourselves and that honesty is the major strength of the team. We know we have the technical ability and talent, if we can be consistent, we have a chance of winning."

"At every stage, the meaning of wearing India jersey changes," explains Mithali Raj, captain of the Women’s India National Cricket Team. “When you are the senior player, you have everyone on your shoulders and you can’t let them down. When you are a debutant, you are playing for yourself and all those people who have made you a player. It is different, but when I don the signature blue kit, I carry it proudly, believing I will win."
