Fans have been giving mixed reactions to Adidas' video reveal of India's new jerseys for all three formats.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) recently announced Adidas as their official kit sponsor from June 2023 to March 2028. Animated drones unfurled the three shirts in the video, carrying them from the ground at the Wankhede Stadium on wooden hangers.

Many thought that without any other sponsor brandings, the kits looked sleek and sharp in the video.

At the left was what is likely to be the T20 shirt - a dark blue round-neck with a light circular pattern on the chest. In the middle was the likely ODI shirt - collared and in a lighter shade of blue. Both limited-overs kits had 'INDIA' written in orange at the center, with the same color used for the three stripes on each arm.

The Test kit was on the right, where orange was replaced by a royal-ish blue.

All three kits had Adidas branding on the right and the BCCI logo on the left.

The initial reactions to kits on Twitter were mixed. While many fans found the Test jersey to be similar to football club Real Madrid's and the best of the lot, some drew comparisons with Indian ODI and T20I jerseys of the past.

Here are the top reactions:
