India’s star batter Smriti Mandhana spoke about why she wears jersey number 18 on an episode of Chahal TV. Mandhana told Yuzvendra Chahal that she didn’t know that Virat Kohli wears the same number until a couple of years ago. “First I wanted number seven since my roll number in school was seven. But, someone was already wearing jersey number seven. At that time, I didn’t know that Virat Kohli also wears number 18,” said Mandhana.
