OFFICIAL: ICC Renames Number '7' to 'Thala'! Thala For A Reason Confirmed? 🤯
MUMBAI – In a move that has sent shockwaves (and memes) across the cricketing world, the International Cricket Council (ICC) has reportedly capitulated to overwhelming fan demand, officially renaming the jersey number '7' to 'Thala' with immediate effect. The unprecedented decision, which sources claim was influenced by millions of online petitions and a dedicated "Thala For A Reason" social media algorithm, marks the first time a numeral has been named after a player.
"Online petitions ne ICC server crash kar diye, bhai. Fans ka pressure bahut zyada tha!" admitted an anonymous ICC official, wiping sweat from his brow. "We literally had no choice, 'Thala' was trending more than 'biryani' and 'chai' combined."
The new regulation dictates that any player wishing to wear the iconic number '7' must now register it as 'Thala'. Sources reveal that the naming rights deal alone is rumoured to be worth ₹50 Crores, payable directly to a newly formed "Thala Legacy Fund." Furthermore, any player caught inadvertently using '7' instead of 'Thala' will face a hefty ₹5 Lakh fine and a mandatory viewing of MS Dhoni's greatest finishes, played on a loop. The ripple effect has been instantaneous, with other star players already clamouring for similar honours. Rohit Sharma is reportedly in advanced talks to rename '45' to 'Vada Pav', while Virat Kohli's camp is pushing for '18' to officially become 'King Kohli'.
"Yeh kya chal raha hai? Mera number '18' ko 'King' kar do ab! Hum bhi toh run banate hain, yaar!" exclaimed a frustrated fan, echoing sentiments heard globally. "ICC ko ab sab ki sunani padegi, kya yaar?"
Cricket analysts are predicting a future where jersey numbers are less about numerical sequence and more about personal branding. Imagine a scoreboard reading "King" for Virat Kohli, followed by "Vada Pav" for Rohit Sharma, and then "Universe Boss" for Chris Gayle. The possibilities are endless, and utterly chaotic. As for MS Dhoni, he remains unavailable for comment, presumably busy perfecting another 'helicopter shot' in a undisclosed location, knowing full well that 'Thala' is, indeed, for a reason.
