New Kit for Indian Team

Nike, the official apparel sponsor for Team India, unveiled the team's new national attire for the ICC World Cup 2007 on Tuesday 21/02/2007.

The kit was made public at a press conference, attended by some team members -- captain Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly, Dinesh Kaarthick, Zaheer Khan, Mahendra Singh Dhoni and S Sreesanth -- and senior officials of the Board of Control for Cricket in India.

The jersey is made from Dri-FIT fabric, a Nike patented technology, which reduces cling and enables the skin to breathe better. The fabric is designed to dry sweat, which leads to better moisture management and is extremely light, so that the player isn't carrying additional weight that may hamper performance.

Over the period of the match, this means greater comfort, as the players remain drier and less distracted. The engineered mesh at the back of the jersey and under the collar ensures better breath-ability in the high sweat zones.
