Kiran More sees your retro-themed India jersey Shikhar Dhawan, and raises you the original.
Look what I found myself! The original jersey of the 1992 @ICC @cricketworldcup, still fits me very well. It brought back all the fond memories, what a tournament it was, as the great Richie Benaud would say on air: simply superb! #cricket pic.twitter.com/puqpXauUk5

Shikhar Dhawan models the new India jersey
How do you like this retro 1992-esque jersey that team India will be wearing for the Australia tour? Between this and the Australian men’s indigenous-art inspired jerseys, this might be the most colourful series yet.
What do Ravi Shastri and Shreyas Iyer have in common?
Ravi Shastri sees a lot of himself in Shreyas Iyer
It needs one to know one. Seemed the cheeky sort. Then realised he was same school and college as me – with @ShreyasIyer15 pic.twitter.com/7cdnhybsSM

Dele Alli’s amazing catch while playing cricket
Well, what do you know? Cricketers warm up with football and footballers warm up with a spot of cricket? During an indoor training session, Tottenham midfielder Dele Alli takes a terrific catch after stopping a shot with his foot (natch) and snaffling it as it loops up above his head.

Deepak Chahar woos us with this DDLJ song on his guitar
Judging by Deepak Chahar‘s skills in playing this old Bollywood tune, life in the Indian team bio-bubble in Australia must be pretty entertaining.
That Centurion innings
Sachin Tendulkar’s match-winning 98 against Pakistan in the 2003 World Cup in Centurion left an indelible mark on many cricket fans of that period. One of them was a teenage Abhinav Mukund, who was lucky enough to watch the game from the ground, and later go on to play international cricket with Tendulkar.
I won the man of the tournament in a competition organised in chennai and was lucky enough to witness this match live when i was just 13. That six over 3rd man was just a few seats to my left! What a game. pic.twitter.com/BPuJHWmQIr
