New Zealand Unveils Special ODI Jersey to Celebrate 100 Years of Sporting Ties with India
New Zealand Cricket has unveiled a special limited-edition ODI jersey named 'Kotahitanga' to mark 100 years of sporting ties with India. The design, created by artists Ben Thomason, Shiv Narandas, and Jai Pancha, combines traditional Maori patterns with Indian motifs such as the lotus, ogee pattern, and mandala. The jersey celebrates the cultural connection and shared history between the two nations and will be worn during the upcoming five-match ODI series starting November 4. NZC hopes the shirt will be a cherished collector's item for fans.
