The Asia Cup jersey, designed for India’s white-ball cricket team, features three stars, symbolizing India’s three World Cup victories. This includes two ODI World Cup wins in 1983 and 2011 and one T20 World Cup win in 2007. As a result, the ODI World Cup jersey sports only two stars, representing the two occasions when the Men in Blue clinched the World Cup trophy.
