Twitter bleeds blue as Team India's new jersey is unveiled

When Team India takes the field against Australia in the one-day internationals (ODIs) in October, fans will get to see them in brand new uniforms.

India's ODI squad has a new jersey by sports apparel company Nike, and it was unveiled on Monday on Twitter.

Indian bowlers - pacer Umesh Yadav, and spinners Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja - also shared the new jersey on their Twitter pages.

Off-spinner R Ashwin tweeted, "Surprised a few young cricketers with the new India jersey. Sure was a dream come true for them! Thanks @nikecricket @bcci #BleedBlue"

Interestingly, Nike had launched a new Twenty20 kit for the Indian team in August last year. But a superstitious BCCI had ordered the team to wear the same jersey design that won them the 2011 World Cup for World Twenty20 in a bid to bring them good luck.

The move to drop the new jerseys came less than a month after they were unveiled last year.
