There is no doubt MS Dhoni is one of the most successful captains in the world of cricket. Under his leadership, India won the 2007 T20 World Cup, the 2011 ODI World Cup, and the 2013 Champions Trophy. For a few days, netizens have started this trend of drawing connections between number seven and other things.

Google India, YouTube India, Swiggy, Reliance Jio, and other brands joined the bandwagon. Google India took to X (formerly Twitter) and shared a picture of the search results of ‘what is special about number 7’. The top page displayed how No.7 has many connotations across different fields. YouTube wrote it is formed by seven letters, while Swiggy shared a picture of “Thali”. Jio wrote it turned seven this year, while Swiggy Instamart shared a picture of 7UP.

Dhoni said people used to think that No.7 was a lucky number for him but he chose it for his jersey simply because he was born on the 7th of July.

So it's the 7th day of the 7th month, that was the reason.
Dhoni said during an interaction held by India Cements.

He further said that instead of contemplating much on which number he would choose for his jersey, he picked up his birthdate. Thala also revealed people kept telling him interesting things related to No.7, that his birth year 1981 has seven (8-1= 7).
