The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) decided to retire MS Dhoni’s No.7 jersey, following in the footsteps of the retirement of Sachin Tendulkar’s No.10 jersey in 2017. This decision was welcomed by BCCI Vice President Rajeev Shukla, who expressed that it’s a fitting honor for Dhoni’s significant contributions to Bharat and world cricket.

Dhoni, a World Cup-winning captain, had a remarkable career spanning over 15 years. In Test cricket, he played 90 matches, scoring 4,876 runs with a batting average of 38.09. As a captain in Tests, he led Bharat in 60 matches, winning 27, losing 18, and drawing 15, achieving a win percentage of 45.00. His captaincy included leading Bharat to the number one ranking in the ICC Test Rankings and the unique feat of whitewashing Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

Dhoni’s prowess was most evident in ODIs, where he played 350 matches, amassing 10,773 runs at an impressive average of 50.57. He led the team in 200 ODIs, winning 110 matches with a win percentage of 55. Notably, he reached the milestone of 10,000 ODI runs with an average of over 50, a remarkable achievement considering his role as a middle-order batsman.

In T20Is, Dhoni played 98 matches, scoring 1,617 runs at an average of 37.60 and a strike rate of 126.13. As captain in T20Is, he led Bharat in 72 matches, securing 41 wins with a win percentage of 56.94. His T20I career showcased his ability to lead and contribute with the bat in the shortest format of the game.

Overall, Dhoni’s impact on Bharat cricket, both as a captain and a player, has earned him the honor of having his jersey number retired by the BCCI, symbolizing the indelible mark he left on the sport.
