The Indian cricket team launched a limited edition national team jersey on the occasion of the country’s 75th Independence Day.
Indian cricket officials appreciated the design even as some fans pointed out that the design was copied from the logo of the seventh edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL).
The ‘7’ design used to depict India’s 75th Independence Day is directly copied from the ‘7’ used in the PSL 7 logo. No. 5 in 75 is also based on the same design.
75 is written across the front of the new shirt to commemorate India’s 75th Independence Day.
This big mistake of the Indian cricket team was pointed out by the social media users in Pakistan who also got the opportunity to troll.
While India is known for copying songs from across the border, this incident is even more embarrassing because it involves their ‘respectable’ cricket team.
Imran Ahmed Khan, former head of player acquisition and management at the PSL, took to Twitter to point out the obvious similarities between the two designs.
Both Pakistan and India have a fierce rivalry in the field of cricket. The two countries are also at loggerheads over their franchise T20 leagues.
While the Indian Premier League (IPL) is considered the biggest in the world, the Pakistan Super League (PSL) has given it some tough competition since its inception 7 years ago.
The two arch-rivals are set to face each other on several occasions in the coming months.
They are scheduled to play in the 2022 Asia Cup on August 28 and could face each other twice more in the tournament if the results go in their favor.
The two teams will meet again in the 2022 T20 World Cup in Melbourne on October 23.
