Ahead of India’s clash against the Proteas Virat Kohli and Company revealed their new look for the coming matches played in its soil. Byju’s is the new sponsor which has come in replacing the Chinese Mobile company Oppo. However, the new look of the Men in Blue has failed to impress many. Some are pleased with the new look but some fans have shown disappointment and are asking the BCCI to come up with a new jersey design.
Byju’s being the new sponsorer
Previously BCCI had announced about its fresh contract with the Bengaluru based ed-tech company. “It is now declared that BYJU’S will be catching overall responsibilities of the current team sponsor OPPO mobiles India private limited. The BCCI is gratified to welcome India’s best education and learning app BYJU’S as the official Team India sponsor from 5th September 2019 until 31st March 2022,” said a BCCI official report on the moth of July.
The BCCI, on their official Twitter handle, also posted photos of training sessions, in which it can be seen Indian cricketers wearing the new kit. However, the new jersey will be worn by the Indian team for the first time from Sunday as they clash with Proteas in the 3 match T20 series.

Oppo was to end its contract by 2022, but due to high price, the Chinese company decided to step down from the contract. However, both Oppo and Byju’s are said to have signed a contract agreement with BCCI after which the board will be paid exactly what the old contract had.

Byju's branding on Hardik Pandya who is actually proud of failing 10th class is another level ironic… pic.twitter.com/tQOCsT3bOq

@BCCI at least change the jersey if you want to incorporate Byju's logo.

Honestly as a proud Indian I find it offensive and it appears as a bad gesture of chest thumping.
"BYJU'S" below "INDIA" would perhaps have been a much better call. #TeamIndia @BCCI pic.twitter.com/Pxm5exuRnr

Hasn’t anyone asked either the BCCI or the BYJU that Kya BYJU India se upar hai? pic.twitter.com/YNeLNxQ01g

Byju Raveendran becomes the first person to have his name plastered on the Indian cricket team's jersey. Lol…Byju's India ? He must have planned this a long time ago! #INDvSA pic.twitter.com/C8W6gq9oeh

Still can’t believe Byju’s is on the Indian team jersey. 9 years back I was attending a maths lecture from BYJU himself in Jyoti niwas college. What a story 🙂 https://t.co/mSWw2CFPNC
