Team India's 'Leaked' T20 World Cup 2024 Jersey Takes Social Media By Storm
With the T20 World Cup 2024 less than a month away from its commencement, the Indian cricket team's jersey has reportedly been 'leaked' on social media. Pictures of India's new kit for the global event are spreading like wildfire on social media. The leaked images show that the jersey has tri-colour stripes on a v-shaped neck. On the saffron sleeves, the traditional three stripes of sports apparel giant Adidas can be seen. It isn't the first time that Team India's new kit has been 'leaked' on social media, but it's a big blow as such releases are usually done through formal channels.
"Rohit Sharma Spoke To Me...": Kuldeep Yadav On Captain's Role In Improving His Batting
Indian spinner Kuldeep Yadav said that skipper Rohit Sharma helped him improve his batting skills during the five-match Test series against England at home from January to March this year. Kuldeep was speaking at a press event in Delhi ahead of his Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise's Delhi Capitals (DC) game against Rajasthan Royals (RR) at Delhi's Arun Jaitley Stadium. In India's 4-1 triumph over England at home, Kuldeep had a very valuable role to play, not only with the ball as expected, but surprisingly with the bat as well. Not only he took 19 wickets in four games, including a five-wicket haul, but he also scored 97 runs in six innings at an average of 19.40, with the best score of 30. He would often find himself in situations that could make or break the match for India. With a solid defence, he would hold his end steady and allow the other batter to attack in pursuit of match-saving total or a match-winning target.
