That's a shame, as I think to have had him kitted out with Adidas through and through would have been great for the brand. Reports are suggesting he is set to become one of the highest paid sportsmen in the world, eclipsing even the $31m MS Dhoni is said to be earning each year!

yes i think there was some serious money involved with MRF landing the bat/softs deal!!

[iand123]

So he'll be using MRF bats and softs. WHat exactly will he be wearing of adidas (shoes?)

[Ayrtek Cricket]

Shoes, clothing and hopefully a helmet

[iand123]

Right ok, clothing i assume is non cricket clothing?

[Ayrtek Cricket]

i would think it involves both on field and off-field clobber

India will wear Nike playing gear won't they?

[Ayrtek Cricket]

yeah playing shirt wise so you can imagine what kind of friction that has prob caused between the 2 companies...top half Nike bottom half Adidas!

Not surprising at all if friction started, especially when Nike India were really pushing the shoes for the national cricket team. The dominates and accelerator shoes were even branded in the Indian colours.

It'll be for his troosers too.

[iand123]

Surely a player cannot wear an Adidas Indian shirt and Indian nike trousers? Or have a missed something?

[Alvaro]

[iand123]

what brand is the shirt?

[Alvaro]

Nike too - you can see a bit of the swoosh on his right arm

[Vitas Cricket]

It's taken Adidas long enough to get a little logo stitched into his ropey old pads!
