Team India landed in Chennai for their ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 tournament opening match against Australia which will be played on October 8. Previously India traveled to Guwahati and Thiruvananthapuram for warm-up games, which got rained out.

Ahead of the Australia match, the Indian team, fondly known as the ‘Men in Blue’ were seen in stark Orange colored training kits. India has experimented with different colored kits with red and grey used in the past. But in the last decade, the training kits have been one or another shade of blue.

However, this is the first time India has sported an orange color training gear. During the 2019 World Cup in England with the ICC making it mandatory to have a home and away kits, India took the field against the hosts wearing a saffron shade t-shirt and navy blue pants.
