The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 is getting closer, and India once again enters the tournament as one of the strongest teams. The squad looks balanced, players know their roles well, and recent form has boosted confidence. If India wins this edition, it could become the first team to win the T20 World Cup three times and also defend the title successfully.
Apart from performance, another topic fans always notice is the team jersey. Over the years, India’s T20 World Cup jerseys have changed a lot. Each design tells a small story about that tournament, whether it brought success, heartbreak, or unforgettable moments.
The Beginning: 2007 World Cup Jersey
India’s first T20 World Cup jersey in 2007 was simple and clean. It had a light blue shade with a tricolour stripe on the side. The bold “INDIA” text across the chest stood out clearly. This jersey became iconic because India lifted the first T20 World Cup trophy wearing it. Many fans still remember it with nostalgia.
Darker Shades Phase: 2009 and 2010
In 2009, the team switched to a darker blue design with orange details. The overall look felt sharper but the campaign was not successful. The 2010 jersey looked quite similar, with only small fabric changes. That tournament is remembered mainly for Suresh Raina’s brilliant century, which remains India’s only T20 World Cup hundred so far.
The Lucky Jersey Story: 2012
Interestingly, India did not use a fresh T20 jersey in 2012. Instead, the team wore the 2011 ODI World Cup kit. It was believed to be lucky after the ODI World Cup win. However, results did not go in India’s favour, and the team exited earlier than expected.

Modern Designs Era: 2014 and 2016
The 2014 jersey returned to a slightly lighter blue with tricolour graphics on the shoulders. India reached the final that year but could not win the title.
In 2016, the jersey became more bold. A strong orange wave pattern crossed the front, giving it a unique look. That tournament was played in India, and Virat Kohli delivered standout performances, although the team fell short of the trophy.
Experimental Looks: 2021 and 2022
The 2021 jersey was very dark blue with a soundwave pattern. It symbolised fan energy, but many felt the colour looked too heavy. India exited early that year.
In 2022, the team returned to a lighter blue shade. The design was fresh and simple. Fans still remember Virat Kohli’s memorable innings against Pakistan during that event.
Title Glory Again: 2024 Jersey
The 2024 kit marked Adidas returning as the sponsor. It featured a V-neck with the Indian tricolour and orange sleeves. This jersey turned lucky as India finally won another T20 World Cup after many years. That victory made the kit special for supporters.
New 2026 Jersey Details
The latest 2026 jersey continues the modern style. It uses advanced fabric technology for better comfort in hot conditions. The collar shows the tricolour proudly, and two stars above the team logo represent India’s previous T20 World Cup wins.
This design also reflects confidence. India enters the tournament as defending champions and co-hosts, which increases expectations.
