Nike was the last major sports brand that sponsored India’s kit between 2016 and 2020. However, MPL Sports (Mobile Premier League) paid Rs 370 Crore to come on board as India’s jersey sponsor in 2016. While the deal was to run through December 2023, MPL exited, handing over the rights to Killer Jeans. Killer Jeans came on board during the Bangladesh series.

However, with no background in manufacturing sporting goods, KKCL’s Killer Jeans hasn’t quite made a great fit for India Cricket or BCCI’s brand image. With most of the players sponsored by big brands like Nike, Adidas or Puma, it hasn’t added any value. Hence, the BCCI has been looking into signing a major brand.
Earlier, Adidas had sponsored Mumbai Indians and England Cricket Team. In the current India team, captain Rohit Sharma, Kuldeep Yadav and Rishabh Pant are sponsored by Adidas.
However, through India Cricket Team, Adidas will reenter the national cricket team market. Currently, Adidas only sponsors Nottinghamshire, South East Stars and Surrey after ending sponsorship deal with England.
