I like the look. The tricolour on the shoulder is looking really beautiful,” Harmanpreet says in the video shared by the BCCI of her and Shah unveiling the jersey.
The jersey is the traditional Indian blue with the tricolour of the national flag on the shoulders. It is a change from the previous version that had three stripes typically associated with Adidas designs. “Wearing a jersey is by itself a special feeling always. There is a lot of hard work that has gone into this one. Hopefully the Indian fans will make it their own and feel proud wearing it,” said Harmanpreet.
