Like debutant Yasaswi Jaiswal earlier this year, he wanted to opt for the number 19 jersey. But it is used by Dinesh Karthik. Jaiswal could not take Karthik's number 19 jersey as he did not play regularly for India but did not retire. In the end he chose the number 64 jersey.
There are incidents of jerseys being held up in cricket in other countries as well. Cricket Australia decided to retire the number 64 jersey in honor of Phillip Hughes who died in 2014. |
