Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah (TMKOC), which began as a sitcom in India in 2008, is still being enjoyed by a lot of people today. Owing to its intensely interesting and lovable characters, this show has garnered enthusiastic audiences that can look up to the characters as their own. Freshly, the TMKOC fandom has been intruded on by cricket as the Board of Control for Cricket in India unveiled a Team India cricket jersey for the forthcoming ICC T20 World Cup.
The jersey, which is made by Adidas, has a base in light blue with sleeves in orange and thinks in white stripes. The unveiling of the unique jersey in the T20 World Cup is scheduled to take place in the USA and West Indies in the 9th edition of this tournament from June 1 to June 29. Initially, the announcement created a lot of frenzy among TMKOC fans, which has already started a streak of nostalgia in the minds of fans. Meanwhile, the social media audience rushed to compare both the TMKOC episode and Team India outfits.
On May 6, as BCCI shared the jersey reveal, TMKOC fans flooded social media platforms with comparisons, sharing videos and images of characters donning identical jerseys. The uncanny resemblance triggered a hilarious meme fest, spreading laughter across the internet. One user humorously suggested that TMKOC’s predictive abilities rival those of The Simpsons, renowned for its accurate forecasts.
Adidas, BCCI’s apparel partner, also joined in the conversation by sharing a beautiful video which had three major players, i.e., Rohit Sharma (captain), Ravindra Jadeja (allrounder ) and Kuldeep Yadav (a spin bowler). The video, shared by the team India on their Instagram handle, displayed the release of the jerseys from the toy chopper to the player’s practising field. “1 jersey, 1 team. Indian T20 squad – proud to present the new Team India T20 jersey,” read the caption of the Instagram post.
