BCCI Addresses Jersey Number Controversy with Mukesh Kumar
Imagine a cricket player named Mukesh wore a special number 18 jersey for a game, usually worn by a famous player, Virat Kohli.
Some people got upset because they thought only Virat should use that number.
The cricket board said that for games that are not international matches, anyone can pick any number.
For the real Indian team, Mukesh will wear his usual number.
They also mentioned it's unlikely anyone will get to use number 18, after the recent events.
Mukesh Kumar wore jersey number 18 for an India A match.
BCCI responded to the controversy.
Jersey numbers are not fixed for India A matches.
Mukesh Kumar usually wears number 49 for international games.
It's unlikely anyone will get Kohli's number 18.
