Veteran cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni recently made Chennai Super Kings the IPL champions for a record 5th time. Dhoni, the world's only captain to win all three major ICC tournaments, is not very active on social media. They believe in saying very little. However, sometimes Dhoni says something that people want to know about. Dhoni is very fond of number 7. Is Dhoni a fanatic?, who takes to the field wearing jersey number 7, let's know the fact behind this.
Former Team India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni used to wear jersey number 7 when he was playing for the country. Mahi has now bid adieu to international cricket but is still playing in the IPL. Even in this prestigious T20 league, the number 7 is written on the back of Dhoni's jersey.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni was born on 7th July 1981 ie 7th day and 7th month. Dhoni wears jersey number 7 because of his birthday. This jersey has proved lucky for Dhoni. He made India the T20 World Cup champion in 2008 while wearing this number jersey while in 2011 team India managed to win the ODI World Cup under the leadership of Mahi. After which the Indian team won the ICC trophy in 2013 under the captaincy of Dhoni.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni once said during the IPL that seven is a number that does not go against you if it does not go in your favor. Mahi said that before choosing his jersey number, he did not feel it necessary to know about anything. Mahendra Singh Dhoni made his international cricket debut on 23 December 2004. Sourav Ganguly was the captain of Team India then. Ganguly sent Dhoni to bat at number 7 in his debut match but Mahi could not open the account. However, the decision on which player to send in which order and who will have what role is taken by the team management. Mahi's confidence did not waver but got stronger as he walked out on a score of zero in the debut match and since then he has climbed the ladder of success. Mahi is the most successful captain of Indian cricket. He has led India to 2 World Cups.
42-year-old Mahi has a worldwide fan following. Speculations were rife that IPL 2023 would be Dhoni's last IPL but Mahi has put the issue to rest. Dhoni will be seen playing in this league next year as well. He has not announced retirement from IPL. He says that there is still a lot of time in the planning of the 17th edition of IPL, so he will not say anything on this topic now.
