Jersey numbers of the current Indian cricket team and the reasons behind them

#7 Rohit Sharma - No. 45

The stylish right-hand opening batsman from Mumbai is one of the star performers in this current Indian team. The Mumbai-born cricketer has a particular elegance to batting and is very pleasing to the eye when he is in full flow.

His lucky number as suggested by an astrologer is 9 but he didn’t want a single digit number. His mother picked the number 45 for him when he was playing for India in World Under-19 World Cup.

Since then number 45 has been featured on the back of his shirt in international cricket. He will be playing the Champions Trophy in the number 45 shirt as well.
