It is not the first time that we are hearing a tale of any cricketer and his superstitions. The level of superstitions increase even further when it comes to the number of their jerseys. Have you even wondered the reason behind Rohit Sharma’s jersey number 45?

In an interview, he said, “Well, it’s no secret. I still remember we were in Sri Lanka playing the under-19 World Cup and the match was being telecast on TV but we didn’t have a jersey number till then, it was blank.”

But before the semi-finals, the players were asked to choose a number. Rohit wanted the number 19 but it was not available. He said, “When I did not get the number 19, I called my mom to suggest a number. She suggested 45. I have been playing with the same number since then.”

Talking of jersey numbers, Indian cricketers have been adamant in choosing the numbers for their jerseys.

Sachin Tendulkar – 10.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni – 7.

Virat Kohli – 18.

Yuvraj Singh – 12.
