India captain Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma received personalised All Blacks jerseys from former New Zealand rugby great Keven Mealamu at Eden Park in Auckland ahead of India's opening ODI against New Zealand on Wednesday.
Mealamu handed each of them a black jersey carrying his own cricket number: Gill received 77, Kohli 18 and Rohit 45.
Mealamu played 132 Tests for New Zealand and was part of the sides that won the Rugby World Cup in 2011 and 2015.
The gesture came before the first ODI of the five-match series, which India went on to win by five wickets to take a 1-0 lead.
