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.
