Nowadays cricketers are too choosy when it comes to numbers. Sometimes, it might be due to their good luck charms or sometimes it might be owing to superstitions. Well, for some cricketers, it is just a matter of logic.
Well, when it comes to cricketers, premier batsman Viru Kohli and skipper MS Dhoni are no exceptions to this. ‘7’ is the number chosen by Dhoni since he was born on the 7th of July. On the other hand, 18 has always been the favorite number for Kohli on his jersey ever since his under-19 days.
However, apart from the duo, there are more in the list. Even cricketers like Rohit Sharma, Yuvraj Singh, Harbhajan Singh and Ajinkya Rahane have their own reasons for picking up certain numbers.
Take a look at the reasons for cricketers choosing particular number for their jerseys :-
1. M.S. DHONI
2. VIRAT KOHLI
3. AJINKYA RAHANE
4. ROHIT SHARMA
5. YUVRAJ SINGH
