The event was held in the presence of some top officials of the Chinese mobile phone firm including Oppo Mobile's president Sky Li.


The Indian men cricketers are to sport the new blue jersey during the ICC Champions Trophy tournament starting in England on June 1.

"India is the world's no. 1 ranked team and Oppo's faith in us shows their commitment to cricket as a whole and India, in particular," said Johri at the launch of the jersey along with the mobile firm's new product 'Selfie Expert F3'.

"I am confident we will work together to help cricket grow. It's a perfect marriage," he added.
