While our Indian cricket team fight it out for the ICC World Cup 2019 trophy, fashion designers back home share exclusive sketches with LuxeBook, depicting how they would like to dress their favourite cricket star off the field.

Here’s how our fashion leaders, Payal Singhal, Rohit Kamra, Lecoanet Hemant and Raghavendra Rathore fuse style and sports to make the cricket innings more exciting.

Payal Singhal for Mahendra Singh Dhoni

Payal’s sketch for our former captain and the master wicket keeper conveys ‘less is more’ and manifests Dhoni as a desi gentleman. A crisp style and a smart personality on and off the field, MS Dhoni makes Indian festive wear a glam affair in Singhal’s Bandi set, which fashions desi silhouettes with humble hues and clean tailoring.

Rohit Kamra for Rohit Sharma

Rohit’s design takes lead with sports as its basic theme, weaved aesthetically in modern silhouettes, suitable for a formal cocktail evening. For the designer, Rohit Sharma exudes a very athletic vibe and he smartly translates it into his set of bandhgala jacket and white trousers.

Lecoanet Hemant for Virat Kohli

The designer label imagines their design as one that would flatter every body type. Describing Virat Kohli’s personal style as very International-Indian, Lecoanet Hemant illustrates a dapper red tee teamed with blue pants and a dashing pair of sunglasses.

Raghavendra Rathore for Jasprit Bumrah 

Rathore’s creativity strikes fashion chords with Bumrah’s robust and youthful charm in an elementary white shirt and a slim fit Taupe pants donned with dual-toned shoes.

Raghavendra Rathore for Shikhar Dhawan

Raghavendra lends a traditional spin to classic evening wear, with a white shirt and black pants as its underlining elements. A strapped pair of solid brown brogues add a touch of finesse, fit for a celebratory gathering.
