Why will Dhoni change his jersey number?

Dhoni had told in his post that he is going to switch number 7 to number 8. But, he has still preserved a suspense. Dhoni is yet to explain the reason why he is going to do this.

Jadeja's jersey number 8 in CSK, so why?

Ravindra Jadeja used to wear jersey number 8 in Chennai Super Kings. But, after he was traded to Rajasthan Royals, now that slot of number 8 is vacant. So will Dhoni wear the number 8 jersey because of that? Till date, in Dhoni's long cricket career, it has never been seen that he has worn any other jersey number instead of number 7. For the same reason, number 7 has become synonymous with Dhoni in cricket. In such a situation, the real reason behind switching number 7 to number 8 will be known only when Dhoni tells.
