The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has decided to retire the legendary No. 7 jersey worn by former captain MS Dhoni. This move pays tribute to Dhoni's remarkable leadership, guiding India to all three white-ball ICC trophies. Following Sachin Tendulkar's No. 10 retirement, this marks the second jersey number retired by BCCI. Young and current players are instructed not to choose No. 7, leaving emerging talents with limited options. The decision aligns with global sports traditions, mirroring instances in football and basketball where iconic jersey numbers are retired to preserve player legacies.
