After all the buzz surrounding team India’s new orange & dark blue jersey, it was time to make it count on the field.
Sadly though, India succumbed to a 31-run defeat against England’s mammoth 338 run target, thus surrendering their unbeaten streak.
Everyone had their share of reasons to explain India’s loss – from ousting Pakistan to not having enough firepower to chase 338 – everything was thrown at Virat Kohli & his men.
Mehbooba Mufti, though believed, it was the orange colour of the jersey that costed India their streak, reports Hindustan Times.
She had tweeted:
Call me superstitious but I’d say it’s the jersey that ended India’s winning streak in the #ICCWorldCup2019.

She added:
Pakistani cricket fans are rooting for India to win the match against England. Chalo kum say kum cricket ke bahaane, for a change both countries are on the same page.

Orange or blue, it was disappointing to see India drop points against England but all is not lost and it is safe to say, a win in the next game will seal India’s qualification to the semi-finals.
