Honoring previous India skipper MS Dhoni, the Leading group of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has chosen to resign the No. 7 pullover. The shirt became inseparable from Dhoni, who remains India’s best chief with regards to ICC occasions. While the incomparable Sachin Tendulkar’s No. 10 shirt was at that point resigned by the Indian board, a choice has been made to add Dhoni’s No. 7 shirt to the rundown also, regarding the commitments the wicket-manager player made to the Indian group in the game, sources have told NDTV.
It is perceived that the BCCI has told players in the Indian group that they can’t wear No. 7 on their back while wearing the Indian shirt, very much like nobody was permitted to pick the No. 10 shirt.
Indeed, even a report in the Indian Express affirmed that the No. 7 shirt is off the racks for Indian players.
“The youthful players and current Indian cooperative people have been told not to pick M S Dhoni’s Number 7 pullover. The BCCI has chosen to resign Dhoni’s Shirt for his commitment to the game. Another player can’t get No. 7, and negative. 10 was at that point off the rundown of accessible numbers,” said a senior Board official told Indian Express.
During his initial days in the Indian group, in any case, pacer Shardul Thakur wore the No. 10 shirt for a concise period. Notwithstanding, the shirt was resigned after that much-discussed episode. On account of No. 7 shirt, the BCCI acted quickly and removed the number from players’ range.
The BCCI official likewise affirmed that a sum of 60 numbers have by and by been dispensed to the Indian group’s players.
“As of now, 60-odd numbers are assigned to the regulars in the Indian group and those in conflict. So regardless of whether a player is out of the group for about a year or something like that, we don’t offer his number to another player. That implies a new debutant has only 30-odd numbers to browse,” said a BCCI official.
