The blue-colored jersey features red and green stripes with their official logo on the front.

Fans, however, were disappointed with the color choice as plenty of IPL teams like Delhi Capitals (DC), Gujarat Titans (GT) and the Rajasthan Royals (RR) have used blue shades in the past.

One fan sarcastically wrote on Twitter:

"Finally a blue jersey in the IPL."
