Ind vs wi test series: The two -Test series between India and West Indies has started at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, but in this match, more discussion is being done about Team India’s new jersey. The reason is clear, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has made Apollo Tires its new jersey sponsor after a big deal of Rs 579 crore. As soon as the Indian players landed on the field, everyone’s eyes on their chest stood on the people of Apollo Tires.

New sponsorship after Dream-11

Earlier, Dream-11 was the jersey sponsor of the Indian team, but recently, Dream-11 had to leave this agreement due to the ban on fantasy betting apps in the country. After this, Apollo Tires offered BCCI to a huge deal till March 2028, which the board immediately accepted, due to which the branding of Apollo Tires on the Indian jersey for the next two and a half years will be the new identity mark of the team.

Ahmedabad Test toss and teams

In the first Test match, West Indies captain Roston Chase took the toss and decided to bat first. At the same time, Indian captain Shubman Gill told that Team India will play in this match with a balanced combination of two fast bowlers and three spinners. In this match, Nitish Kumar Reddy’s team has also been included back in the team. At the same time, the West Indies team has given two spinners and two fast bowlers a place in the playing XI.

New beginning without veterans

This match is also special because this is the first Test in India on the home ground, in which veteran players like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Ravichandran Ashwin are not present. After the retirement of these three, now Team India has entered a new era. In the Ahmedabad Test, young players have got a big opportunity to prove themselves.

Bcci and Apollo Tyres Contract: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has found a new sponsor for Team India’s jersey. The BCCI has confirmed the contract with Apollo Tires with its official social media handle. This contract between BCCI and Apollo Tires is two and a half years. The name of Apollo Tires on Team India’s jersey will be till March 2028. According to media reports, this deal has been done for about Rs 579 crore.

These companies bid for sponsorship

Apart from Apollo Tires for the Asia Cup, Canva and JK Cements also attended the auction. While a bid of 477 crores was made by JK Cements, Canwa imposed Rs 544 crore. But the BCCI deal was finalized with Apollo Tires for Rs 579 crore. Earlier, a 3 -year contract between BCCI and Dream 11 took place for Rs 358 crore.

Why did Team India’s sponsor change?

The Jersey of Team India was earlier named online gaming platform Dream 11 (Dream 11). But the Government of India has enacted a new law on money online gaming, due to which running online money games and promoting it will be fined and along with this, those who do so may also have to serve the jail sentence. For this reason, the BCCI finished the deal in the middle before completing the contract with Dream 11.

Who is sponsor in Asia Cup?

The contract between BCCI and Dream 11 ended a few days before the Asia Cup 2025. Because of this, no sponsor name is written in the Asia Cup on Team India’s jersey. The BCCI had kept the last date of application for Team India’s sponsor till 16 September and today the name of Apollo Tires has been finalized by the board.
