Former India cricketer Virender Sehwag has recently urged the BCCI to have “Bharat”, instead of India, inscribed on the jerseys of the national team players in the upcoming ODI World Cup.
Sehwag tagged BCCI secretary Jay Shah and suggested that the players wear a jersey with Bharat written on it.
“I have always believed a name should be one which instills pride in us. We are Bhartiyas, India is a name given by the British and it has been long overdue to get our original name ‘Bharat’ back officially.
“I urge the BCCI (secretary) Jay Shah to ensure that in this World Cup our players have Bharat on our chest,” Sehwag posted on X on Tuesday.
