Despite being a West Indian cricketer T20 superstar, Chris Gayle wore jersey number 333 which was his highest score in Test. During the IPL, Sri Lankan cricketer Muttiah Muralitharan was seen wearing jersey number 800, which was his record number of test wickets. These were two instances where two legendary cricketers changed jersey numbers during their career but MS Dhoni chose the same number and stuck with it till the end.
So why did Mahindra Singh Dhoni choose this iconic number 7?
Mahendra Singh Dhoni said in an event, "This was the time or day when my parents decided that I had to come to earth. So I was born on 7th July. July is also the seventh month. It was 81 years and in If you do 8-1, it will become 7. So when they asked me about my number, it was very easy for me to tell.”
After MSD Dhoni's international career ended, BCCI retired his jersey number. Apart from this, BCCI had also retired the number 10 jersey after the retirement of Sachin Tendulkar.
