The blue uniform has the Indian tricolor on the shoulder, with the BCCI logo in the center. Along with that are the three gold stars representing three of India wins the World Cup in 1983, 2007 and 2011.
But the BCCI, the DNA reports, is of the view that the current ODI uniform lucky and fans can see the team using the same when they leave the field in the friendly match against Sri Lanka on September 15. The report also says that Nike officials refused any comment, but sources said the council wants to put the Indian ODI team because India won the World Cup of 2011 in that shirt.
"We decided to go with the old shirt and we have communicated this to Nike. Players will not use the new colors," a top board official apparently told DNA.

chuutiye hain BCCI waale
Their kit is too ugly and hilarious to be worn. Lame excuse. So are they trying to say they won the world cup through luck in that case? I'm sure they could have come up with something better.
