A recent viral video featuring MS Dhoni, the captain of Chennai Super Kings (CSK), has surfaced wherein he discusses the significance of choosing the number 7 as his jersey number. In the video, likely from a promotional event, Dhoni humorously explains his rationale behind selecting the number 7 jersey.
During the interaction, the host asked MS Dhoni about the importance of the number 7 to him. With a smile, Dhoni, renowned for his witty responses, replied: “This number symbolizes my birth. My birth month is also 7, and when you consider 1981 as the year of birth, 8-1 adds up to 7 as well. So, it was an easy decision for me when they asked, ‘which number do you want?'”
Born on 7 July 1981 in Ranchi, former India captain MS Dhoni continues to reside in his hometown with his family. After retiring from international cricket, the two-time World Cup winner now focuses exclusively on participating in the Indian Premier League (IPL), where he captains the Chennai Super Kings (CSK).
As speculation mounts, the upcoming IPL season (IPL 2024) could potentially mark Dhoni’s final stint as a player for Chennai Super Kings (CSK). Dhoni, one of cricket’s most iconic figures, retiring from the IPL would signify the end of a remarkable era in the sport.
MS Dhoni has initiated his training sessions in preparation for the forthcoming season of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2024). The seasoned campaigner played a pivotal role in leading CSK to their record-equalling fifth IPL title last year. As he potentially enters his final IPL season as a player for Chennai, Dhoni will be determined to lead his team in their quest to successfully defend their IPL title once again.
