The Indian cricket team’s newly launched kit has created a huge buzz on social media, with many calling it the “best jersey”. However, a section of fans showed dissatisfaction with the price, and took no time to call out the same on Twitter.
According to several tweets, the original jerseys are prized ₹4999 each, while the EDI replicas were mentioned ₹2,999. The EDI fan jersey is listed at ₹999 each.

However, fans were quick to point out that if we buy the stripped down version from any stadiums across India, we can get as many as 50 for the same price. Here are some responses:
Adidas India unveiled the new jerseys on Friday. The sports giants signed a five-year contract with the BCCI in May, which runs until 2028.
“An iconic moment. An iconic stadium. Introducing the new Team India jerseys,” Adidas India said while unveiling the jerseys for all three formats – T20, One Day International (ODI) and Test cricket.
The company released a dark blue collarless jersey for T20; a light blue collared sweater for EDI; and a white jersey for Test cricket.
“This is our moment to present cricket to the world with high quality performance products for our athletes. We look forward to creating moments with our consumers through the most celebrated sport in India. Adidas truly believes in the potential of cricket in India and through this partnership with BCCI, our growth will accelerate,” said Neelendra Singh, GM, Adidas India.
