Fans on Twitter expressed their frustration after the Indian cricket team wore a three-star jersey in the first ODI against Sri Lanka. The match is being held at R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, where India, led by Rohit Sharma, has been asked to field first. The team, including senior players like Virat Kohli and KL Rahul, is gearing up for the Champions Trophy 2025.
The controversy arose because the jersey featured only three stars, despite India winning four World Cups (1983, 2007, 2011, and 2024). According to the norm, the jersey should have displayed four stars to reflect all their World Cup victories.
The issue stems from the fact that World Cup victories are represented differently in jerseys. For instance, in the 2023 ODI World Cup, India wore a two-star jersey, and the recent T20 World Cup 2024 saw a one-star jersey. Fans have criticized Adidas and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) for this oversight, accusing them of causing confusion among spectators.
