New Delhi, April 29: Cricketers and superstitions go hand in hand? It is so because some put a lot of thought into choosing their t-shirt numbers, some stick to a specific routine before match and so on.

'Captain Cool' Mahendra Singh Dhoni is also no exception to this as he has chosen 7 as he was born on July 7.

Similarly, Kohli has 18 as his jersey number since his Under-19 days and he chooses to stick with it, do you know why?

Here's why Virat Kohli is heartbroken despite maiden T20 century

According to popular websites, CricTracker and Being Indian, "the Delhi lad has an emotional connect to that number.

The 27-year-old's father died on December 18, 2006. At the time, Virat was 18 years old.Since then, the right-hander has played with 18 on his back."

However, Dhoni and Kohli are not the only ones; Ajinkya Rahane, Harbhajan Singh, Yuvraj Singh, Rohit Sharma and many more have their own specific reasons to pick certain numbers.
