When it comes to Indian cricket, fans think Sachin Tendulkar, despite his retirement from ODI cricket, will always remain the rightful owner of the number 10 jersey.

The Mumbai Indians had retired the jersey number 10 soon after Tendulkar’s retirement. There were also talks that the BCCI would also retire the number 10 jersey from Team India forever.

Sachin Tendulkar played his last ODI against Pakistan in March 2012 with jersey number 10. Since then no one has used this jersey number in the field while playing international cricket for five years.

However, fast bowler Shardul Thakur had landed in the 10th position wearing a Jersey in Sri Lanka. After this, the sportsmen had to face tough opposition for this. Only after this incident, Thakur’s name was being trolled on social media.

The sportspersons also accused them of trying to become Sachin by tweeting on them.

After this controversy, The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) declared legendary Sachin Tendulkar’s Jersey Number-10 unofficially retired. The decision was taken to avoid any conflict in the future.
