All competing teams at the 1992 World Cup used jerseys with similar themes and identical patterns but different colours. India wore a dark blue shirt with white, red, green and light blue coloured horizontal stripes and yellow player names.
All teams once again wore the jerseys with a consistent pattern for all. In 1996, India changed their jersey colour from dark to light blue, with the teams wearing identical designs once more. A wide yellow chest stripe featured the word "India" inscribed in a light blue colour that matched the rest of the jersey, with multicoloured arrows running across the chest and down the sleeves.
A dark blue BCCI logo sat on the slight left of the jersey in 1997 when India played Pakistan in the Independence Cup. In 1998, India's jersey was modified once more. It was mostly yellow and blue for a while before turning completely blue with a tricolour encircling the shoulders.
In the 1999 edition, all teams wore shirts with their cricket boards' logos composed across the front. India's light blue outfit featured a yellow BCCI crest emblazoned diagonally across the front of the jersey. The 1999 shirt was one of the most iconic and best Indian jerseys ever made.
In 2001, the BCCI emblem shifted from the left to the right side of the jersey. The name 'India' was set in the middle of three yellow bands that ran the length of the shirt. Sponsor Sahara was shown above India and on the left sleeve with a white background and black shade.
The 2003 jersey will always be remembered for the legendary performance that the God of Cricket, Sachin Tendulkar had in the tournament. It was in 2003, the first time ever since their victory in 1983 that India advanced to the World Cup final. India went back to their signature light blue colours and had a hint of black on the shoulders and sides. The centre featured the Indian tricolour with the name written on top.
2007 was one of the Indian team's most polarizing years. A defeat against Bangladesh and elimination in the group stages itself, meant it would be our worst-ever World Cup campaign. But then in September of the same year, an underdog team, which no one had hoped did the impossible, winning the 2007 T20 World Cup in the final between India vs Pakistan, in the same jersey. During the competition, we wore a light blue jersey with a tricolour stripe running down the right side.
The 2011 World Cup was happening in the subcontinent and India hadn't won the tournament in 28 years and this was the perfect chance to do it. With match-winning performances by all team members, Virat Kohli, Sachin Tendulkar, Yuvraj Singh, Gautam Gambhir, MS Dhoni, Zaheer Khan and a solid collective team effort, we claimed the title by defeating Sri Lanka in the Final at the Wankhede Stadium. The 2011 Indian Cricket Team's jersey is without a doubt one of the best and the one to which people are most emotionally attached.
The 2015 World Cup was held in Australia and India was entering the championship after a bad run of form prior to the tournament. The tournament started off with an India vs Pakistan match at the Adelaide Oval, a match where Virat Kohli scored a smashing ton. We qualified for the semi-finals but were obliterated by the Australian Cricket Team, the eventual winners of the tournament. The jersey was the same shade of blue as the 2011 one, with a few orange details and a stripe pattern.
The 2019 World Cup is remembered for Rohit Sharma's amazing batting, where he owned all bowling lineups scoring 5 hundreds and over 600 runs in a single World Cup edition. The tournament ended in the worst heartbreak for any ICT fan with that Dhoni run out against New Zealand in the semi-finals. This tournament was the first time ever India wore a home and away jersey. The main shirt was the traditional combo of light and dark blue colour with a narrow orange stripe on the abdomen. Also, the collars were different from the ones used in the prior years and orange was on the inside of the collars.
The Indian Team played in an away jersey in the 2019 ICC CWC game against England in a much darker shade of blue and more prominent details of fluorescent orange. They only played in this jersey once but the response and liking that this shirt got from the fans was overwhelmingly positive.
The 2023 new Adidas Indian Cricket Team jersey was made with a collaboration between the German sportswear giant Adidas and BCCI. This was the first ever time India featured 3 stars on top of the BCCI crest on the shirt. Adidas launched 3 jerseys, one for each format, ODIs, T20s and Tests. For the ODI World Cup, the colour was dark blue with the iconic tricolour shoulder stripes. The T20 jersey is a round collar shirt and the Test jersey comes with a clean white look.
Recently, the Indian Cricket Team's Jersey has been revealed, it looks same like the 2023 World Cup type, but the difference is about the stars on the jersey. As you can see the World Cup 2024 jersey had 3 stars on it, but this has 2 stars on it.
