No other Indian cricket player will don the renowned No. 7 shirt worn by M S Dhoni. The World Cup-winning captain's number will be "retired" by the Indian cricket board as a mark of appreciation for his contributions to the game, three years after he put up his boots as an international player.
Sachin Tendulkar is the only other cricket player to get a comparable accolade; in 2017, he too had his iconic No. 10 shirt permanently folded away.
According to information obtained, the BCCI has advised national team players—particularly the rookies—that they are not able to choose numbers connected to Tendulkar and Dhoni.
