New Zealand will sport a special jersey during the ODI series against India. It will be a limited-edition jersey, worn to celebrate the 100 years of sporting ties between India and New Zealand. The jersey is beautifully designed with patterns depicting Mandala art, the lotus flower, and Māori traditions.
The New Zealand Cricket Board (NZC) said in a statement, “Introducing the limited-edition Kotahitanga ODI shirt. A celebration of two cultures bound by their love of cricket. To commemorate 100 years of sporting ties between Aotearoa and India.”
Artists Ben Thomson, Shiv Narandas, and Jay Pancha created this design. Shiv and Jai belong to Gujarat, and they contributed three motifs to the newly launched design.
These motifs are a repeating ogee pattern inspired by Indian architecture, the lotus, India’s national flower, and the mandala, whose symmetrical structure complements Māori design traditions.
Meanwhile, Thomason incorporated Māori kowhaiwhai patterns and haehae lines, which will honour those who helped build the relationship between the nations. The notable centenary pattern represents the 100-year-old sporting connection between the two countries.
When will the India vs New Zealand ODI series begin?
The series will be played between November 4 and 15.
