Gayle, Pollard, Bravo to don world's most expensive jersey during WCL 2025

The West Indies Champions, led by iconic names such as Chris Gayle, Dwayne Bravo and Kieron Pollard, are set to turn heads not just with their cricketing flair but also with their attire in the upcoming World Championship of Legends (WCL) 2025. The team will sport what is being hailed as the most expensive cricket jersey ever made — a custom-designed outfit created by Dubai-based luxury fashion house Lorenze, in collaboration with Channel 2 Group Corporation. With the tournament taking place from July 18 to August 2 across English cities including Birmingham, Northampton, Leicester and Leeds, the event promises both sporting brilliance and unprecedented glamour.
Crafted with Gold, Inspired by Legacy
The bespoke jersey to be worn by the West Indies Champions will be adorned with real 18K gold and will come in three editions: 30g, 20g and 10g. According to Lorenze founder Raj Karan Duggal, this unique creation is not merely apparel but a celebration of West Indian cricket heritage — a blend of royalty, cultural pride and cricketing greatness. He described the jersey as 'wearable history', a collector's item that reflects the journey from Sir Clive Lloyd to the likes of Gayle and Bravo.
Channel 2 Chairman Hails Tribute to West Indies Greats
Ajay Sethi, Chairman of Channel 2 Group, the franchise owners, believes this golden jersey is a symbolic tribute to all those who have shaped the legacy of West Indies cricket. He said the WCL is among the most exciting cricket leagues globally and hopes the West Indies side can go all the way this year.
Star Power Across Continents
WCL 2025 brings together cricketing stalwarts from around the world, including AB de Villiers, Yuvraj Singh, Brett Lee, Shikhar Dhawan, Shaun Marsh, Harbhajan Singh and Moeen Ali, among others. Sanctioned by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), the tournament promises to be a nostalgic spectacle where legends compete with pride — and now, in gold.

‘AR Rahman will get a song out of you at 3 am,' says Sukhwinder Singh: ‘He shines like the moon'

As a composer, AR Rahman is one of the most important figures of the Indian music industry, and singer Sukhwinder Singh, who has sung several of Rahman's songs, is right up there with him. In a recent interview, Sukhwinder talked about his relationship with Rahman and commented on the several idiosyncrasies the composer is famous for, like making music in the middle of the night. During an episode of Mashable India's Bombay Journey, Sukhwinder shared his opinion on the Roja composer and revealed that the introverted genius is actually quite a hoot with the right company, and according to Sukhwinder, he is the right company. He said, 'I was the one who started making Rahman laugh. He is an introverted person, and he gets joy from his work, but laughing in general is also important. Punjabi jokes are only funny in Punjabi, and trying to translate that to English for him was very difficult. There are some slang words that you can't convert, so I developed a special language for him.' ALSO READ: AR Rahman sang 'Vande Matram' at 2 am, filmmaker recalls wanting to keep it 'romantic': 'I was in tears…vohi recording aaj gaane mein hai' Sukhwinder Singh further shared that he even has a special name for AR Rahman and appreciated Rahman's ability to inspire the singers he is working with. 'When someone gives you a break in films or music, we call him the Godfather. I call Rahman my 'godfriend.' With the kind of lifestyle I had, I used to party at night and then work in the morning. With him, you have to be on the mic at 3 in the night, and somehow he will pull that song from you. Suddenly you feel as energetic as him while recording the song. Right in the middle of the night, he shines like the moon,' said Sukhwinder. Rahman, who is believed to be a very simple man, is often seen rocking many out-of-the-box outfits, including bedazzled suits during live performances. Sukhwinder commented on the same and said, 'He is very fond of clothes, and that too ones with all the strange colours. He will wear them for shows, and the reason why people don't see him like that in general is because by the time he gets ready, it is 12 am in the night and everyone is sleeping.' The duo have collaborated on several iconic songs that have transcended their films and eras, including 'Chaiyya Chaiyya,' 'Ramta Jogi,' 'Ghanan Ghanan,' and of course, 'Jai Ho' from Slumdog Millionaire, which earned AR Rahman Academy Awards for Best Original Score and Best Original Song.
