Who decides the jersey numbers of cricketers.
Most of us might think that jersey numbers of the cricketers are chosen by the BCCI but that is wrong.
Cricketers of all countries including India choose their jersey number by their own and can also change their jersey number whenever they want.
No guidelines have been issued in this regard from the International Cricket Council and the respective board of the country.
But players need to keep in mind that two players can not have the same jersey numbers in a playing eleven.
A player like Sachin Tendulkar has changed his jersey many times in cricket history. First he should wear jersey number 99 then after an injury when he came back to the team , he wore jersey number 33 but this also did not last long. Then he chose jersey number 10.
Jersey numbers of different Indian cricketers and the reason for choosing it
He told in an interview that it was his lucky number and also number 10 comes in his name ' TENDULKAR ' . This is the reason why he chose this jersey number.
2) VIRAT KOHLI - Virat Kohli wears jersey number 18. The reason for this is very emotional.
Virat Kohli loves his father a lot. His father has passed away on 18th DEC, 2006 so he chose this number as his jersey number.
He also told in an interview that 'After this number was printed in my jersey I feel that my father is with me whenever I wear this jersey.
3) MAHENDRA SINGH DHONI - MS Dhoni wears jersey number 7.
There are several reasons for this.
1st reason is MS Dhoni's birthday is on 7th July, 1981. That is why he chose jersey number 7.
2nd reason is MS Dhoni loves football and his favourite football player is Cristiano Ronaldo whose jersey number is 7 so he also chose 7 as his jersey number.
3rd reason is that he chose this number by consulting an astrologer.
4) ROHIT SHARMA - Rohit Sharma wears the jersey number 45. Rohit uses this number 45 in social media handles also. So by this it is clear that this number is very special for him.
When he was playing under - 19, that time his jersey number was blank so he was told by the BCCI to choose a number for his jersey. First he wanted to choose number 19 but this number was already taken by another player so he called his mother to choose his jersey number. His mother chose the jersey number 45.
5) HARDIK PANDYA - Hardik Pandya's jersey number is 228 which is a huge jersey number 😆😆.
Hardik Pandya's reason for choosing this huge jersey number is very special. In
under - 16 , he played a very huge knock of 228 so he chose this number as his jersey number.
6) VIRENDER SEHWAG - Virender Sehwag used to wear a blank jersey.
Before Virender Sehwag used to wear jersey number 44 but his wife said it to be unlucky.
Virender Sehwag's wife said to wear jersey number 2 and his mother said to wear jersey number 46.
He got confused as if he wears jersey number chosen by his mother then his wife will feel sad and if he chose jersey number of his wife then mother will feel sad so he thought to wear a blank jersey.
7) YUVRAJ SINGH - Yuvraj Singh wears jersey number 12.
Yuvraj Singh chose this jersey number for him because he was born on 12 Dec ,1981 and in 12 o'clock so he chose jersey number 12.
8) RAHUL DRAVID - Rahul Dravid wears the jersey number 19.
Rahul Dravid used to wear the jersey number 5 before, then after that he changed to 19.
When he was asked to say the reason for this, he said that his wife is very lucky for him so he want to choose the number that his wife wants. His wife wanted him to wear jersey number 19 he chose 19 as his jersey number.
So this is it. I hope you liked this post. Now I am sure you know the reasons for the jersey numbers of different Indian cricketers. Some cricketers' reason for choosing their jersey numbers were very emotional and I hope you enjoyed a lot reading this.
