This Indian cricket jersey numbers 1 to 100 guide covers every integer in the requested range. It keeps India men’s senior associations separate from IPL, county, domestic, India A and Under-19 comparisons, and it shows the saved source period beside each named row. A number can have more than one user across eras or competitions; a blank evidence result is not a claim that a number is unused or available.
Last updated: 19 October 2026. Scope: India senior men’s international cricket is primary; club, domestic, India A and Under-19 contexts appear only when the sources reviewed explicitly identify them. Numbers are based on dated kit records, explicit player statements, official information and credible cricket coverage. The source register identifies the supporting publications and their dates.
Jump to: Quick Answer · Full number-by-number table · Current/recent players · Iconic numbers · FAQs
Key Takeaways - Every number from 1 through 100 appears in the main table, including explicit club/U19 contexts and unresolved rows. -
Verifiedmeans the reviewed evidence contains at least two meaningful independent number-specific supports for that dated association;LikelyandUnconfirmedremain qualified. - The saved ICC rules allow Test playing-shirt numbers 1–99 under clause 19.17 and separately address ODI/T20I identity and legibility; they do not establish a universal 1–100 allocation rule. [1] - Recent evidence is not the same as a current selected or available India number, and an IPL number is not silently transferred to Team India.
Quick Answer: Indian Cricket Jersey Numbers 1 to 100
The strongest saved associations are dated, not a universal BCCI allocation register. Examples include Arshdeep Singh at 2, MS Dhoni at 7, Sachin Tendulkar at 10, Virat Kohli at 18, Rohit Sharma at 45, Suryakumar Yadav at 63, Shubman Gill at 77 and Jasprit Bumrah at 93. The status and period matter: the table below does not turn a historical or recent association into a guaranteed current 2026 assignment.
| Jersey No. | Player | Role | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | Arshdeep Singh | Fast bowler | Verified [12] [13] [14] |
| 7 | MS Dhoni | Wicketkeeper-batter | Historical [19] [20] |
| 10 | Sachin Tendulkar | Batter | Retired/Reserved [23] [24] [25] |
| 18 | Virat Kohli | Batter | Verified [2] [28] [29] |
| 45 | Rohit Sharma | Batter | Verified [30] [31] |
| 63 | Suryakumar Yadav | Batter | Likely [32] [33] |
| 77 | Shubman Gill | Batter | Verified [54] [55] [56] |
| 93 | Jasprit Bumrah | Fast bowler | Likely [45] [46] |
The full register preserves the complete period labels from each saved association. Where a source is an identity profile, social post, or club report rather than an explicit India number source, the row stays Likely or Unconfirmed and says so.
Full Indian Cricket Jersey Number List (1 to 100)
Period cells summarise dated evidence, not first-use dates or a guaranteed current allocation. The source register retains publisher and source-period details. Club abbreviations are DC (Delhi Capitals), LSG (Lucknow Super Giants), RR (Rajasthan Royals), CSK (Chennai Super Kings), SRH (Sunrisers Hyderabad), PBKS (Punjab Kings) and MI (Mumbai Indians).
Each ten-number block uses the same columns. A named row is an evidence-backed association in the saved material, not a promise that the player currently holds the number. The Team / Format cell is copied from the saved association context; no Test, ODI or T20I format is inferred where the report does not state it.
Filters apply only to the full number-by-number tables below. A number search is exact; a player search matches part of a name. The CSV uses these same visible rows and includes source URLs.
No matching entries. Clear the search or reset the filters.

Jersey Numbers of Current Indian Cricketers
This shortcut contains only saved, evidence-supported India senior contexts that are current or recent in their own reports. Recent does not mean currently selected, available, or guaranteed to retain the number on 19 October 2026. Retired/former associations, club-only rows and Unconfirmed research leads are kept out of this section.

Wicketkeeper-batters
| Player | Jersey No. | Role | Format(s) | Verification status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rishabh Pant | 17 | Wicketkeeper-batter | India men senior international; Test kit (also reported as Pant's usual India number); Explicitly documented 21 August 2019 for the World Test Championship-era India Test kit; independently described as his continuing/usual number on 30 October 2025 | Verified [2] [39] |
| Ishan Kishan | 32 | Wicketkeeper-batter | India senior men / international white-ball cricket (ODI and T20I); At least January 2023 through the current/recent 2026 India return; the reviewed evidence does not establish a universal all-format or current permanent allocation | Verified [63] [64] [65] |

No source reviewed proves a universal allocation through 19 October 2026. | Likely [183] [74] |
All-rounders
| Player | Jersey No. | Role | Format(s) | Verification status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hardik Pandya | 33 | All-rounder | India men / limited-overs (ODI and T20I association; no claim for Tests); Since 2016; explicitly reported as still associated in January 2026 | Verified [49] [50] |
| Axar Patel | 20 | All-rounder | India senior men (explicitly associated with Axar Patel; format not specified by the strongest dated source; Sportskeeda profile spans India international formats); Documented at least 8 November 2022; listed in the reviewed profile as of the 19 October 2026 cutoff. No source establishes a universal all-format allocation or a formal current BCCI register. | Likely [51] [52] |
| Ravindra Jadeja | 8 | All-rounder | India men / senior international, explicitly Test kit; the 2025 evidence is an India Test jersey; At least August 2019 through January 2025; no evidence here establishes a universal or guaranteed 2026 allocation | Verified [2] [36] |

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Arshdeep Singh | 2 | Fast bowler | India senior men's T20I / India limited-overs team; Documented at least 2 August 2022 and 6 February 2025; no number-specific official source reviewed for the cutoff date 19 October 2026 | Verified [12] [13] [14] |
| Jasprit Bumrah | 93 | Fast bowler | India senior men / international cricket (player statement describes his India-team number; no format-specific split established); By 5 December 2024 through the 19 October 2026 cutoff; current/recent association supported, with the exact first-use date not established | Likely [45] [46] |

| Akash Deep | 41 | Fast bowler | India men / Test cricket; 2025 England Test series; explicit match-worn shirt dated 11 July 2025 at Lord's, and Getty editorial caption for the second Test at Edgbaston (Day Five, July 2025) | Verified [84] [85] |

Spinners
| Player | Jersey No. | Role | Format(s) | Verification status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Varun Chakravarthy | 29 | Spinner | India senior men / T20I (explicitly described as Indian men’s international; not proven across every format); Published 19 June 2026; contemporary T20I association, with no independently documented start date | Likely [74] |
| Kuldeep Yadav | 23 | Spinner | India senior men (India jersey; explicit Test context in the player interview); Explicitly supported in February 2021 and January 2023; Indian Express profile displays #23 in 2026, but that profile header is not treated as proof of a current allocation | Verified [41] [42] |
An India number can differ from an IPL number because the national team and franchise have separate kit contexts. Sanju Samson’s reviewed evidence separates India No. 9 from IPL No. 11, and Yashasvi Jaiswal’s No. 64 India association from Rajasthan Royals No. 64. The table therefore reports context instead of presenting a bare number as a permanent identity. [60] [61]
Most Iconic Indian Cricket Jersey Numbers
Iconic associations are memorable historical or recent identities, not proof that the number is formally retired. The notes below use number-specific support for the shirt and separate career milestones from the jersey claim.
No. 7 — MS Dhoni
MS Dhoni was a wicketkeeper-batter and former India captain, historically associated with No. 7 through his 2004–2019 limited-overs international career. Sportstar’s report and an ICC tribute describe the association, while later reports describe a reported BCCI non-use or retirement practice. That is not the same as a located formal, universal retirement rule. [19] [20] [21] [22] His 15 August 2020 international retirement and three ICC trophies are supported separately by BCCI. [4]
No. 10 — Sachin Tendulkar
Sachin Tendulkar’s No. 10 is a historical India association from the coloured-kit era. Sources reviewed describe informal respect or non-use practice rather than a formal BCCI rule, and also preserve earlier No. 99 and No. 33 associations. [23] [24] [26] His 100 international centuries are a separate ICC milestone, not evidence for the number. [5]
No. 18 — Virat Kohli
Virat Kohli’s No. 18 is supported by the 2019 India Test-kit reveal and a later report describing the number across his India jerseys in the relevant period. [2] [28] [29] The page does not assert a universal current 2026 allocation. His first 50 ODI centuries are a separate ICC milestone. [6]
No. 45 — Rohit Sharma
Rohit Sharma is a batter associated with No. 45 from his India debut through at least November 2021, with a separate 2019 Test-kit record. NDTV quotes his explanation for choosing 45, and Deccan Chronicle independently reports the India shirt. [2] [30] [31] His five 2019 World Cup centuries are a separate ICC-supported milestone. [7]
No. 63 — Suryakumar Yadav
Suryakumar Yadav’s No. 63 is Likely for the documented India senior white-ball association. The sources reviewed do not establish a Test allocation or a universal BCCI register, so no format is added beyond the report’s stated context. [32] [33] His 2022 T20I award and 1,164 runs are supported separately by ICC. [8]
Other memorable Team India jersey numbers
Jasprit Bumrah’s No. 93 remains Likely because the two sources reviewed repeat one underlying Fox Cricket interview, not two independent events. [45] [46] Shubman Gill’s No. 77 is Verified for the documented recent India association through independent reports. [54] [55] [56] Arshdeep Singh’s No. 2 is a dated India association supported by two match reports and a number explanation. [12] [13] [14] Rishabh Pant’s No. 17 is separately supported for the senior India context. [2] [39]
How Indian Cricketers Choose Jersey Numbers
Players choose from numbers available within the relevant team and competition’s kit process. The sources reviewed show several evidence patterns: a player explanation, an official kit reveal, a match-worn shirt, a squad graphic, or a reputable report that explicitly pairs a player with a number. A number shown in one format is not automatically carried into every other format.
The saved ICC Clothing and Equipment Regulations are precise. Clause 19.17 for Test playing shirts requires the number to reflect the player’s identity, be legible and fall within 1–99. The same document addresses ODI and T20I shirt identity and legibility in separate clauses; it does not create the universal 1–100 rule repeated by many list articles. This page uses 1–100 because that is the requested lookup range, not because the saved rules establish every number for every format. [1]
A number may change when a player joins a franchise, returns to a side, or enters a different competition. Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s saved 18 October 2026 India T20I comeback is a recent example: the reports identify No. 78 instead of his traditional No. 15. [89] [90] This is a dated association, not proof that a number is a career-long legal identifier.
Indian Cricket Jersey Number Rules and Availability
International, IPL, domestic, county, India A and Under-19 numbers should be read as separate datasets. The ICC regulations apply to international matches and Member Board representative-team clothing; they are not an India player-allocation register. [1] A BCCI player directory can establish identity and player context, but the saved directory evidence does not expose a universal jersey-number field. [9]
The labels in this guide describe evidence and timing. Verified is reserved for dated associations with at least two meaningful independent number-specific supports. Likely means strong but narrower or shared-source support. Historical identifies a former-era association. Retired/Reserved reports the saved non-use/reservation wording without converting it into a formal legal status. Unconfirmed retains a research lead or unresolved number without inventing a player.
The cutoff is 19 October 2026. Review this page after major India squad announcements, international series, or relevant IPL auctions and number changes. A later source should update only the affected association; it should not turn every unresolved row into “unused.”
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the Indian cricket jersey numbers from 1 to 100?
They are the 100 indexed rows in the full table above. The reviewed evidence establishes many dated associations, but not a verified current Indian international holder for every integer. “Complete” means every number is covered; it does not mean every number has a current player.
Who wears jersey number 1 for India?
A current India allocation is not proven in the reviewed evidence. Sourav Ganguly is a documented historical No. 1 user at the 1999 World Cup, while KL Rahul’s No. 1 source is an IPL report. [111] [10] The table therefore does not claim that No. 1 is unused or available.
Why is jersey number 10 associated with Sachin Tendulkar?
Saved number-specific reports document Tendulkar’s historical India No. 10 association and describe an informal non-use or respect practice. They do not establish a formal BCCI retirement rule; the saved material also records earlier No. 99 and No. 33 associations. [23] [24] [26]
What is Virat Kohli’s jersey number?
No. 18 is the best-supported saved association. It is documented for the 2019 India Test kit and reported as continuing across India formats in the relevant period. This page does not claim a universal current 2026 allocation. [2] [28] [29]
What is Rohit Sharma’s jersey number?
No. 45 is the best-supported saved association, documented from his India debut through at least November 2021 and separately for the 2019 Test/WTC kit. That evidence is not a universal current 2026 format-by-format register. [2] [30] [31]
Can two Indian cricketers have the same jersey number?
Yes, across different eras or competitions. The main table preserves multiple users at numbers such as 3, 9, 17, 24, 44, 45, 56, 64, 84, 93, 96, 97 and 99, while keeping period and context visible. A repeated number is not evidence that two players wore it for the same XI at the same time.
Do IPL jersey numbers differ from Team India jersey numbers?
Yes. IPL franchises keep separate squad contexts. Sanju Samson’s India No. 9 and separately labelled IPL No. 11 show why an IPL number must not be copied into a Team India answer; the same rule applies to county, domestic, India A and Under-19 entries. [60] [61]
Are retired Indian cricketers’ jersey numbers permanently retired?
Not automatically. The reviewed evidence reports non-use or reservation practice around Dhoni’s No. 7 and Tendulkar’s No. 10, but no direct universal BCCI retirement policy was located. Retired/Reserved is therefore a qualification of reported practice, not a legal status. [3] [19] [21] [23]
How often is this Indian cricket jersey number list updated?
Review it after major India squad announcements, international series and relevant IPL auctions or number changes. The current cutoff is 19 October 2026, and every row keeps its source period so readers can distinguish recent evidence from a current selection.
Where can I verify an Indian cricketer’s jersey number?
Start with a dated official kit reveal, squad announcement, match graphic or player statement, then cross-check a reputable cricket publication. ICC rules explain the international clothing framework but are not a player-allocation register. [1] For identity and competition context, use the site’s player hub, matches and cricket stats.
