The blue colour in team India uniform has earned them the nickname of "Men in Blue".

You missed that dark blue jersey which had the orange colour within the collars before the 2011 worldcup jersey.It cant be called same as the 2007 jersey
ReplyDeleteThere was also this horrendous-looking jersey for the 2012 world t20, with a badly drawn tricolour on the left shoulder. Thankfully it had a short life.
