This time Pakistan is hosting the Champions Trophy. This prestigious ICC tournament will start on 19th February, while the Indian team will make its debut in the tournament against Bangladesh on 20th February. The title match of the Champions Trophy will be played on March 9. ICC has recently released a promo for this mega tournament, in which Pakistan’s legendary bowlers are getting white coats prepared for the winning team of the Champions Trophy. In such a situation, the question arises that why does the winning team that wins the Champions Trophy wear only a white coat?
Dhoni’s team wore white coat
The Indian team won the Champions Trophy in 2013 under the leadership of former captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni. After this, the entire team wore white jackets and got photographed with the trophy. This picture is still present in the hearts and minds of Indian fans. This picture of the Indian cricket team became iconic, which continues to go viral on social media even today.
How did the white coat originate?
The white coat started in the Champions Trophy in 2009, when Australia wore the white coat after defeating South Africa. According to ICC, the white coat is a symbol of respect, which shows the importance of every match of the Champions Trophy. Every player of the team to win the white jacket has to risk everything. This coat gives the winners a distinct identity from other teams and also makes this tournament special. Some reports also say that the cup board of the team that wins the Champions Trophy is kept in the office, but the white coat is present with every player of the winning team.
Indian squad for Champions Trophy: Rohit Sharma (captain), Shubman Gill (vice-captain), Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Washington Sundaran, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, Arshdeep Singh, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rishabh Pant, Ravindra Jadeja. .
