When we talk about former Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni, his famous No. 7 jersey strikes in our mind. No 7 and Mr. Cool Dhoni go hand in hand. The jersey number is like Jersey no 10 for God of Cricket Sachin Tendulkar, such is the impact Dhoni’s jersey number has.

As Dhoni has been wearing the jersey since his early days and continues to wear it in the Indian Premier League(IPL) for the Chennai Super Kings (CSK), everyone has this notion that jersey no.7 is lucky for Dhoni, and 7 might be the lucky number of Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

As a surprise to everyone including his fans, Mahendra Singh Dhoni said that there is no specific reason behind the jersey number and there is no superstition behind having the jersey number. At an event, Dhoni busted the myths on his jersey number.

Dhoni said that many people have this opinion that 7 is his lucky number and that's the reason why he has it as his jersey number. He said that reason behind selecting jersey no 7 is that his birthday falls on the 7th of July and July is also the 7th month. For that reason, I have 7 as my jersey, Dhoni said.

"A lot of people initially thought that 7 is a lucky number for me and all of that. But I chose the number for a very simple reason. I was born on the 7th of July. So it's the 7th day of the 7th month, that was the reason," Mahendra Singh Dhoni said revealing the story behind his jersey number.

Mahendra Dhoni, one of the successful captains of India who has the record of winning all three ICC Trophies, has dropped his gloves from international cricket on the 15th of August in 2020. Through a simple social media post, Dhoni announced the shocking decision.

Despite bidding goodbye to international cricket, fans are getting to see Dhoni play as he is playing for CSK. The CSK team is entering the 2022 IPL edition as defending champions. The inaugural match of IPL will be played between CSK and KKR. Fans are hoping that CSK would repeat the 2021 performance.
