Team India's jersey for the upcoming T20 World Cup has been unveiled by MPL Sports, the official kit sponsor of the Virat Kohli-led side. The jersey has been revealed during an online event conducted by the BCCI and apparel brand MPL Sports. The new navy blue jersey will be sported by Virat Kohli and Co. in the upcoming T20 World Cup and international matches thereafter. The jersey is made up of iconic Team India colours of Blue and Orange.

MPL Sports had become the official kit sponsor of Team India in November 2020 after BCCI's contract with American sports brand Nike expired. After securing the deal with the BCCI, MPL Sports immediately caught the attention of cricket enthusiasts in India as it launched a kit for the Men in Blue that was inspired by the 1992 Cricket World Cup jersey.
