Does Ronaldo have Dhoni's jersey on his wall?
However, it is not MS Dhoni's jersey on Cristiano Ronaldo's wall. The T-shirt belongs to the football icon. The star football player has worn the number 7 jersey for the past two decades, and when he signed with Al-Nassr in January 2023, he kept it. The Al-Nassr football team t-shirt is the one that Ronaldo has behind him.
From 2003 to 2009, Ronaldo wore the number 7 jersey for Manchester United. He started at number 9 for Real Madrid but switched back to number 7. When he joined Juventus, he wore jersey number 7, which he kept when he returned to Manchester United in 2021. While playing for the Al-Nassr football team, he has been sporting a t-shirt bearing the same number. Since his debut, Dhoni has also donned the number 7 jersey. The number 7 jersey was retired by the BCCI in 2023. This number cannot be chosen by an Indian player.
