Dhoni, who is renowned for his clever retorts, laughed and said, this number represents his birth. He also said, in addition to being the month of his birth, 1981 is also the year of his birth, therefore 8-1 also equals 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The CSK captain said, he chose this number without any difficulty when they asked, \u201cOkay, what number do you want?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Just Thala Dhoni being Thala Dhoni !! \ud83d\ude02\u2764\ufe0f<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/MSDhoni?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#MSDhoni<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/WhistlePodu?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#WhistlePodu<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Dhoni?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Dhoni<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/msdhoni?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@msdhoni<\/a> <br>\ud83c\udfa5 via @\/single.id <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Y68CqES6h3\">pic.twitter.com\/Y68CqES6h3<\/a><\/p>&mdash; TEAM MS DHONI #Dhoni (@imDhoni_fc) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/imDhoni_fc\/status\/1756198766787584190?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 10, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The seven has come to be synonymous with Dhoni&#8217;s remarkable cricket career, which has been defined by notable achievements like captaining India to&nbsp;the 2007 T20 World Cup and 2011 ODI World Cup. As one of India&#8217;s most admired cricketers, he has gained&nbsp;fans from&nbsp;across the globe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) made the historic decision to retire the No. 7 jersey in December 2023 as a fitting homage to Dhoni&#8217;s legacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Born in Ranchi on July 7, 1981,&nbsp;MS Dhoni still resides there with his family.
