The BCCI announced earlier this month that they have roped in German sportswear giants Adidas as their new kit sponsor.
The Indian men's, as well as the women's team, will don jerseys carrying the logo in their upcoming competitions.
Before Adidas, BCCI had a brief deal with Killer, a lesser known apparel-manufacturer. Killer bagged Team India's kit sponsorship for five months after MPL wanted to end their sponsorship at the end of last year.
