Rohit Sharma And Co Wear ODI Jersey With 3 Stars vs Sri Lanka, Leave Internet Confused

The jersey worn by the Indian cricket team during the first ODI encounter against Sri Lanka raised a lot of eyebrows on Friday. Following the toss, cricket fans noticed that India's jersey had three stars - an observation that prompted major discussions on social media. Previously, India used to have three stars on their jersey in order to signify the title wins in the 1983 ODI World Cup, 2007 T20 World Cup and the 2011 ODI World Cup. However, with the team winning the T20 World Cup 2024, there should have been four stars to signify all the World Cup wins. Some users speculated that it can also include Champions Trophy wins, but India have won that title twice and as a result, there should have been four stars.

Sri Lanka skipper Charith Asalanka took two successive wickets to force a tie in the opening one-day international after India's total ended level with the hosts on Friday.
