The Indian cricket team is set to embark on a thrilling three-match One Day International (ODI) series against the West Indies, starting on Thursday, July 27. The much-awaited contest will kick off at the iconic Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados.

The stage is set for an exhilarating encounter as both teams recently engaged in a gripping two-match Test series. Team India displayed their dominance, securing a 1-0 victory over the West Indies. The visitors dominated the first Test, claiming a resounding win by an innings and 141 runs. However, the second and final Test concluded in a draw, showcasing the resilience of the home team.

Team India, buoyed by their Test series triumph, will be eager to carry the winning momentum into the ODI format. Notably, six white-ball specialists have joined the remaining 11 players from the Test squad, forming a formidable lineup. The likes of Suryakumar Yadav, known for his attacking strokeplay, the explosive wicket-keeper batsman Sanju Samson, and the dynamic all-rounder Hardik Pandya, who also serves as the vice-captain, will be key players to watch out for.

In the spin department, India boasts the lethal duo of Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav, known as ‘KulCha’ to fans, who possess the ability to dismantle opposition batting lineups. Additionally, young pacer Umran Malik‘s inclusion adds a touch of excitement as he looks to impress with his raw pace and skills.

Ahead of the ODI leg, the BCCI took to social media to unveil the new jersey, showcasing the team’s white-ball specialists along with the Test squad members. Additionally, BCCI shared pictures of Kuldeep and Yuzi, generating excitement among fans about their upcoming performance.

However, the latest jersey didn’t go down well with fans and followers as they minced no words t0 express their anger. Of particular concern to fans was the size of the sponsor logo, which appeared to be larger than the India name on the jersey. Expressing their discontent, fans took to social media platforms to voice their opinions, criticizing the design choice and calling for a reconsideration.
