A sneak peek into the Indian team's brand new Adidas kit as Virat Kohli and Co warmed up ahead of their WTC final against Australia in the Oval.
The World Test Championship 2023 Final is almost around the corner as India are set to take on Australia in a coveted Test game next month. This is the second edition of the esteemed competition and the Indian team is the first side to secure a final berth in both occasions. Ahead of that final, BCCI have unravelled the Adidas kit which will make its debut in this one-off Test match.
BCCI's contract with Killer Jeans came to an end after the conclusion of India's home series against Australia pretty recently. The Indian Cricket Board roped in the German apparel giants on a multi-year contract and Virat Kohli and Co will be seen in the brand new kit in the Oval when they face the Aussies next month.

BCCI shared pictures on social media where the likes of Virat Kohli, Mohammed Siraj and Umesh Yadav were seen in a jovial mood before the much-anticipated clash. The sky blue hoodie seems to be a great fit as the men in blue will seek a winning start in their brand new jersey.
The hectic schedule of the Indian Premier League might have taken a heavy tolll on the Indian cricketers and players like Shubman Gill and Mohammed Shami will join following the completion of the IPL final which was earlier postponed due to a continuous downpour in Ahmedabad.
