BEST JERSEYS FOR SUMMER CRICKET IN INDIA: BEAT THE HEAT

By Team Athenax · May 2026 · 5 min read

Playing cricket in Indian summer heat of 35-45°C demands jerseys specifically designed for extreme conditions. The wrong jersey can cause overheating, excessive sweating, and discomfort that affects your performance.

FABRIC WEIGHT FOR SUMMER

Go as light as possible — 120-140 GSM polyester is ideal for peak summer. This weight provides adequate coverage while allowing maximum air circulation. Avoid anything above 160 GSM for summer matches unless you're playing early morning games.

COLOR CHOICES FOR HEAT

Light colors reflect sunlight while dark colors absorb it. For summer cricket, white, light grey, sky blue, and pastel shades keep you noticeably cooler. If your team insists on dark colors, choose designs with light-colored panels on the back and underarms for ventilation.

DESIGN FEATURES THAT HELP

Look for jerseys with mesh panels under the arms and on the back — these high-sweat zones need extra ventilation. Raglan sleeves allow better airflow than set-in sleeves. And a slightly loose fit creates an air pocket between the fabric and skin that aids cooling.

HYDRATION TIP

No jersey can replace proper hydration. In summer cricket, drink water every over during fielding and at every batting break. A good jersey manages sweat, but only if there's enough fluid in your body to sweat.
