The upcoming World Test Championship will feature jersey numbers behind the white shirts for the first time but there are two numbers that the Indian team is unlikely to use during the Test series against the West Indies in Antigua starting August 22. Sachin Tendulkar’s famous jersey No.10 has already been “unofficially retired” by the BCCI from white ball cricket after pacer Shardul Thakur wore it briefly and was heavily trolled on social media.
While no Indian players wears the No.10 jersey as a mark of respect for Tendulkar’s stupendous achievements, there is a strong possibility that jersey No.7 worn by Mahendra Singh Dhoni in limited-overs will also not be used in the days’ format.
