Two-time World Cup-winning captain MS Dhoni's fans and India cricketers want BCCI to retire jersey number 7. Dhoni's career lasted for 15 years, starting from 2004. Although he retired in 2020, the 39-year-old played his last match for India a year back.
Mohammad Kaif, who was Dhoni's batting partner when he made his debut, feels the number 7 belongs to the former India captain only. Another wicket-keeper batsman Dinesh Karthik lauded Dhoni's well-celebrated career and said BCCI should retire jersey number 7.

Karthik said he is expecting more surprises from Dhoni in the near future. "I hope the @bcci retire the #7 jersey in white ball cricket Good luck with your second innings in life, I'm sure you'll have a lot of surprises for us there too," he tweeted.
After great India batsman Sachin Tendulkar retired from international cricket, no Indian cricketer has sported number 10 except for Shardul Thakur who soon changed his jersey number to 54.
