Dhoni has explained on multiple occasions that he selected jersey number 7 because he was born on 7 July 1981, the seventh day of the seventh month. When he was asked what number he wanted on his shirt, he decided to use his birth date instead of looking for a “lucky” number or relying on numerology. He often adds a playful extension to the story by noting that his birth year, 1981, can be read as “8-1 = 7”, reinforcing why the number feels naturally connected to him. Importantly, Dhoni presents 7 as a neutral, personally meaningful number rather than…

On 18 December 2006, Kohli’s father, Prem Kohli – who had played a central role in supporting his cricket ambitions – died of a heart attack.
