If there is one cricketer after Sachin Tendulkar who deserves his jersey number to be retired once he quits the game, it is Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

Ever since representing India for the first time in 2004, the 35-year-old has been seen with the number '7' on his back whenever he donned the coloured clothing for India.

There are varied reasons behind him having the number behind his back.

Few believe that it is because his birthday falls on the 7th of July, while others say it is because he was inspired by some of the greatest Manchester United players who have succeeded after wearing that number on their jersey.

Whatever maybe the reason, the number has proven to be extremely successful for him and Indian cricket and it would be fitting to the legend if the number is retired after he calls it quits from the game.
