Pakistan cricket is always in controversy in some way or another or becomes a victim of trolling. Be it the delay in the preparation of the stadium for the Champions Trophy or the strange selections made in the team, Pakistan is on everyone's target just before this tournament. Now when the situation seems to be improving, the Pakistani team is being mocked again and this time the reason is the team's new jersey, which the entire team including Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam will wear on the field. Seeing this new jersey, fans have started asking whether this is for the Pakistani team or the jersey of the Ireland team?
The 8-team tournament Champions Trophy is starting from 19 February. Pakistan is hosting the tournament this time. Apart from Team India, 6 other teams are going to Pakistan for this special tournament. In such a situation, while Pakistan is not only hoping to present a great tournament, it is also staking a claim to win the title at home. However, before the action on the field, preparations are also being made to make the team look good and for this the new jersey of the team was launched but as soon as it was revealed, it became a joke of the Pakistani board.
The Pakistan Cricket Board unveiled this new jersey with great fanfare during an event at Lahore's Gaddafi Stadium on Friday, February 7. All the 15 players selected for the Champions Trophy were standing together on stage wearing the new uniform. The Pakistan board posted its pictures and videos on social media so that an atmosphere could be created in favour of the team and fans could also be encouraged to buy this jersey. But this effort went in vain when some fans started trolling.
While there were some fans who liked this jersey, there were many who called it completely useless and even asked whether this is the Pakistani team or the Irish team? Let us tell you that the Irish team also often wears such jerseys in which the top is light green in colour, while the trousers are dark green or blue. Pakistan's new jersey is also something like this.
As far as the price of Pakistan's Champions Trophy jersey is concerned, it is much cheaper than Team India's new ODI jersey. The Indian team's ODI jersey was launched some time ago, which has been prepared by the famous German sportswear company Adidas. Team India will wear this jersey to win the Champions Trophy. While the price of the Indian jersey is Rs 5999, the price of the Pakistani jersey is only 40 US dollars i.e. around Rs 3500. However, as far as its price in Pakistani currency is concerned, it is more than 11 thousand. Now whether Pakistani fans will buy such an expensive jersey or not, it is natural to have doubts after the fans' reaction.
