Various political parties like Congress and Samajwadi Party had questioned the BCCI over the choice of the Orange colour for the away jersey. The Indian team sported a second choice jersey for the match against England, following International Cricket Council’s home and away rule.
Meanwhile, India on Sunday was defeated by the home side England by a margin of 31 runs in a high scoring match. With the win over India, the English team has kept his hope for the semifinal berth in the 2019 ICC World Cup.
