Dhoni, who drew inspiration from Kapil Dev’s pristine white jersey at the Lord’s in 1983, wore a different shade of blue in 2007 and 2011. And now he is proud to hand over the legacy of Indian jerseys to the future generation. MS Dhoni noted that Indian jersey always reminds him of the great heritage they have had.

It always reminds me of the great legacy that we have got. It’s not only that. Playing each and every bilateral series, reaching No 1 across formats, all these are motivational stuff,” Dhoni said.

Proud of the consistency

One of the greatest ever to play for India, MS Dhoni spoke with a lot of reverence of how the seeds of the present were sown back when Kapil Dev lifted the World Cup in 1983. Dhoni seemed content that they have carried the legacy and bow have passed it to the generations to follow. The cricketer from Jharkhand is optimistic that this jersey will be a part of many pinnacle tournaments. Dhoni also stated that he is really proud of the consistency that they have attained in all these years.

It feels good to always get into past a bit. During the first World Cup in 1983, we were very young. Later, saw videos of how everyone celebrated. In 2007, we won World T20. So we are good at it (World titles). It’s good that we carried that legacy forward and hand it over to the future generations,” he added.

Hopefully, the (new) jersey becomes a part of a lot of World Cups but it is the consistency that we are really proud of,” Dhoni cocnluded.
