Click to play videoMumbai: The Indian team has a brand new kit in striking dark blue colours as they head off to New Zealand for their Twenty20 Internationals and One-Day International games later on Wednesday.
The outfit was revealed at a glittering function organised by the official kit sponsor of the indian team, Nike, in Mumbai on Wednesday.
Indian captain MS Dhoni was the centre of all attention as he along with colleagues in the Indian dressing-room were paraded on the stage.
Yuvraj Singh, Zaheer Khan, Rohit Sharma, Dinesh Karthik and Pragyan Ojha were among those on stage, and the players showed off their ability as ramp models too by making heads turn with a catwalk.
Spirits were high as a confident set of players prepare to undertake what promises to be a stern test in New Zealand.
The unveiling of India's new jersey was also an occassion to walk down memory lane. Member of the 1985 Benson and Hedges World Championship winning team in Australia, Laxman Sivaramakrishnan got the function off to a thunderous start by walking in kitted in the colours of that victorious outfit.
He was followed on stage by a member of the 1996 Indian World Cup team and India's current bowling coach, Venkatesh Prasad.
Former batsman Vinod Kambli was his usual gregarious self as he walked down the ramp with the panache of a veteran in the India colours of 1997. And Robin Singh was the next to be invited onto the stage with the 1999 World Cup colours on.
