Why new jersey

The need for an alternative jersey arose after International Cricket Council issued a guideline before the start of the Word Cup, requiring teams to have two different uniforms for all its televised tournaments except hosts England.

India's blue jersey clashes with England's blue, and therefore Virat Kohli and his team will be seen in orange on June 30 at Edgbaston.

Similarly, India could take the field in orange colours against Afghanistan whose jersey is also predominantly blue. In the rest of the games, India will wear blue as usual.
