The Indian World Cup jersey design was leaked online on Friday and it reportedly has two stars above the crest.
The difference in the number of stars on India's ODI World Cup jersey compared to their Asia Cup jersey has caused a social media buzz.
The Asia Cup jersey features three stars over the BCCI emblem, signifying India's three World Cup wins - two in the ODI format in 1983 and 2011, and one in the T20 format in 2007.

Why there are just two stars in India's ODI World Cup jersey?
In contrast, the ODI World Cup jersey has only two stars, representing the two World Cup trophy victories in the ODI format.
This distinction in stars serves as a historical reference to India's achievements in different formats of cricket, making the jerseys unique to the specific tournaments they are worn for.
With the World Cup campaign approaching, fans are eagerly anticipating India's performance in the tournament, symbolized by this distinctive jersey.

India Cricket World Cup 2023 predictions, odds
Fans' opinions about India's chances at the 2023 World Cup are divided. While some believe the hosts will be able to create the same magic as the team did in 2011, others think that India’s inconsistency with players, the complicated decision-making and lack of clarity of roles might just lead to another playoff exit for the country.
