Ahead of the upcoming ICC ODI World Cup 2023, Cricket Australia ranked team jerseys from the tournament’s rich history over the years. Team India’s orange kit which they wore just once in the game against England in the 2019 ODI World Cup has got the fifth place in the list.
The list also included the jersey worn by the Men in Blue during the 2003 ODI World Cup. Australia’s 1999 kit got the top rank while Pakistan’s 1999 jersey got the second rank in the list declared by Cricket Australia.
The greatest men’s CWC Jerseys ranked by Cricket Australia
1 – Australia 1999
Australia’s jersey had stars lining the sleeves and the collar and is one of the most loved kits in cricket history. Steve Waugh-led Aussie side clinched their second World Cup title in 1999.
2 – Pakistan 1999
Pakistan’s jersey was lethal lime green in color and had a huge five-pointed star. They were the runners-up in the tournament.
3 – England 2019
England’s 2019 World Cup kit had a lighter shade rather than the dark blue color fans are used to seeing them wearing for years. The Eoin Morgan-led team lifted the glorious trophy for the first time in 2019.
4 – Scotland 2015
Scotland’s jersey had wonderful shades of deep blue and purple which made it the standout fit from the 2015 World Cup.
5 – India 2019
Team India’s jersey had a striking orange color which created a perfect contrast with the ever-used navy blue base. However, the Men in Blue donned the orange kit just once in the all-important game against the hosts England.
