Jersey number 7 and MS Dhoni have become synonymous because of the enormous success that the retired Indian wicket-keeper achieved. Dhoni wore jersey number 7 in his international career as well as in the IPL. He has won many championships and played countless match-winning knocks for his teams.
It has become a trend nowadays to see people wearing the jerseys of India or CSK with the number seven. Even when the fans attend the matches at the stadiums, they buy the jersey with that number. It shows the impact of Dhoni on cricket fans.
In a recent YouTube video posted by Chennai Super Kings ahead of IPL 2022, the CSK captain explained the theory behind his jersey number seven. He said that the people who feel it his lucky number are wrong.
“A lot of people initially thought that 7 is a lucky number for me and all of that,” said Dhoni.

MS Dhoni then elaborated that he wears the number seven jersey because he was born on July 7, 1981. July is the seventh month of the year. The date in July was seven. Also, if you subtract 8 -1 from the year 1981, you get the number 7. Thus, Dhoni wears that number behind his back.
“I was born on the 7th of July. So, it’s the 7th day of the 7th month, that was the reason,” he added.
Dhoni further mentioned that he is not so superstitious but the number seven has always been close to his heart.
“It’s one number that is close to my heart and I have kept it over the years with me,” he concluded.
The number seven jersey will be on the field again on March 26th as the Kolkata Knight Riders will lock horns with defending champions Chennai Super Kings in Mumbai.
