The BCCI has finally unveiled the jersey of Team India for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, and yes—it features the host country’s name, Pakistan, after all the buzz and drama.
The Big Reveal
The new jersey, revealed through Team India’s official Instagram page, shows captain Rohit Sharma, along with Ravindra Jadeja, Hardik Pandya, and Arshdeep Singh, proudly sporting the fresh kit. And there it is—‘Pakistan’ printed with the tournament’s logo on the right side of the jersey. It’s official, and it’s here.
