Rarely do the worlds of fashion and cricket come together in quite such flamboyant style as they do at the Indian Premier League. The tournament is by now well established as the glitziest and most glamorous in world cricket, and that extends to the kits too. Gone are the pristine whites and muted creams of the Summer season, and in are the garish, flashy outfits that really represent all that is shiny and exciting about the IPL.

However, in IPL 2020, not all the teams have found sartorial success. Here’s Wisden’s IPL kit league table, dictating which teams are fashion forward, an which should head back to the changing room.

9. Royal Challengers Bangalore (Alternative)

Whilst the Royal Challengers Bangalore had good intentions behind their choice to don the bright green pyjamas, raising environmental awareness, it really is a sight for sore eyes. But their biggest crime against fashion is actually not going far enough. The lime-green kit is quite something by itself, but when combined with red pads it reaches a new level. And not in a good way. Described by one viewer as “like living inside a migraine”, it’s an almost festive combination, one that should really see RCB renamed Lapland Legends, albeit two months too early.

The garish get-up has at least got everyone talking about the RCB’s ‘Go Green’ initiative, which is commendable. However, we’re not sure that the fashion-conscious Virat Kohli will be best pleased, especially when their trusty red and gold outfit is one of the competition’s finest.

8. Sunrisers Hyderabad

Much like Mumbai Indians themselves, their kit combines royal class with streaks of golden flair. The zip collar really works too. While the addition of a fastener can often look cheap, MI’s don’t, seemingly disappearing when pulled all the way up, while also allowing the rig-proud player to show off what they’ve got. The light/dark effect on the midriff really works too. In other words, Mumbai Indians, the IPL’s best team, also have the best kit too. Sickening isn’t it?
