BCCI secretly revealed India’s new training kit for Australia tour; videos leaked online

BCCI secretly revealed India’s new training kit for Australia tour; videos leaked online

There is excitement when there is Team India, especially when they tour Australia. Anticipation is at an all-time high. Perhaps this is one of the biggest reasons why India prefers to keep its education away from the public. That’s exactly what they did in the T20 World Cup in 2022. So, come to think of it, can an Indian team run its business secretly? Yes, to some extent if they want, but not completely. The Indian team management tried their best by shutting down the WACA networks to ensure the privacy of the players but they were not fully successful.

Rather than the way the cricketers trained, what attracted attention was their training equipment.

Unlike the original matchday jerseys, which are usually different shades of blue, Team India’s training jerseys do not have color codes. They had previously worn orange, red, fluorescent green and white training kits but the new jersey, which was kept under wraps by the BCCI and Indian jersey manufacturers Adidas, was in light grey.

Jaiswal, Pant and Rahul donned the gray training kit against different bowlers on Tuesday.

Neither BCCI nor Adidas hosted the official launch of the new training kit.

In case of Rohit’s absence, Bumrah will be the captain

Jasprit Bumrah, who has been appointed as vice-captain, will lead India in the opening Test against Australia in Perth if regular captain Rohit Sharma is unavailable for the game due to personal reasons, head coach Gautam Gambhir said on Monday. The outspoken former opener also stated that KL Rahul might be asked to open the batting in place of Rohit.

The second batch of Indian players is heading to Perth but Rohit remains behind. Uncertainty remains as to whether Rohit will compete in the series opener.”There is no confirmation at the moment. We will let you know exactly what the situation will be. Hopefully he will be available but everything you want to know, Gambhir said, “you will know before the series starts.”

“Bumrah is the vice-captain, so if Rohit is not available, he will be the leader in Perth,” the coach added.

Rohit’s possible absence also leaves a spot at the top of the batting order vacant and Gambhir said one of the out-of-bounds Abhimanyu Easwaran and KL Rahul, both of whom played in unofficial Tests for India A against Australia A, will be selected. Easwaran, there is KL there. If Rohit is unavailable, we will move closer to the first Test match. There are quite a few options at this point. “As we get closer to the first Test match, we will try to field the best playing XI that will do the job for us,” he added.

However, it gave enough indication that Rahul’s experience could prevail over rookie Easwaran’s current form.
