New Zealand unveil special 'Kotahitanga' ODI jersey for India tour, honoring 100-year ties

New Zealand is set to celebrate a century of cricket relations with India by wearing a special Kotahitanga kit during their upcoming five-match ODI series. The jersey features a blend of Māori kōwhaiwhai patterns and traditional Indian motifs like lotus flowers and mandalas, designed by artists Ben Thomason, Shiv Narandas, and Jai Pancha.

NZC official Glenn Critchley highlighted the design as a symbol of the cultural bond between the two nations. The ODI series follows a five-match T20I tour that begins on October 22, with the one-day matches starting on November 4.
