Mehbooba blames orange jersey for Indian cricket team’s defeat against England in WC

Srinagar, Jun 30: Former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Mehbooba Mufti Sunday blamed the Indian cricket team’s new orange jersey for their loss against England in a World Cup match on Sunday.

“Call me superstitious but I’d say it’s the jersey that ended India’s winning streak in the #ICCWorldCup2019,” Mehbooba wrote on Twitter.

The Indian team sported a second choice jersey for the World Cup match against England, following International Cricket Council’s home and away rule. There has been some debate in political circles with regard to the choice of orange as the dominating colour for the second jersey.
