India vs Australia 2020: Fans reject India's 1992 WC inspired jersey over sponsor logos?

India are all set to kick off their tour of Australia on Friday when they take on the Aaron Finch-led side in the first of the three-match ODI series in Sydney. Notably, the Men in Blue will be sporting a new jersey in the limited-over series against the Aussies. The India new jersey 2020, which is inspired by the 90s jersey, has a navy blue shade which is completely different from the traditional sky blue colour that the team has been wearing in recent years.

Fans unhappy with size and placement of sponsors on India's new jersey

On Tuesday, Indian opener Shikhar Dhawan took to Twitter and unveiled team India's new jersey. The India new jersey 2020 has the name of BCCI's new kit sponsors MPL Sports.

Recently, MPL Sports entered into a three-year agreement with the BCCI starting from November 2020 to December 2023. It also has the name of team India's official sponsors BYJU's.

Several reactions poured in as fans expressed their opinion on the new Indian jersey. While some fans were nostalgic as the new jersey brought back delightful memories from the iconic 1992 World Cup, others were unhappy with the size and placement of the sponsors' names.
