The Ashok Chakra is presented in the middle of India’s national flag. The dark blue color in Ashok Chakra was chosen as the primary color of the Indian cricket team’s ODI jersey when the colored uniforms were officially introduced in the ODI format of cricket. The first Indian blue color jersey of the Indian ODI was worn in 1992. Blue color automatically became the choice to associate it with Indian jersey. This color signifies the sky and ocean.
