Recently, the BCCI retired Dhoni’s iconic number 7 jersey as no player will be allowed to take the iconic number.
Dhoni announced his retirement from international cricket in 2020 as he last played for India in 2019 in the ODI WC semi-final against New Zealand. Since his retirement, no other player has worn the No.7 shirt since then.
“He is a legendary player. His contribution to Indian as well as world cricket is immense. To honour his contribution, the decision to retire number seven has been taken by the BCCI,” Shukla told PTI.
The wicketkeeper batter will be seen in the next season of IPL as Chennai Super Kings have retained him for the mega tournament after he led them to the fifth IPL title last year.
The wicket-keeper batter was struggling throughout last season with a knee injury and also underwent surgery after the winning fifth IPL title.
Chennai Super Kings CEO Kasi Viswanathan recently told ANI, “He has recovered well (from his knee injury). He is undergoing his rehab programmes, started training. By the time the next IPL starts, I am sure he will be fit to play.”
