Virat Kohli To Rohit Sharma: Top Cricketers Who Are Bhakts Of Lord Rama - In Pics

On the 22nd of January, a significant day in Indian culture, OneCricket invites you to embark on a spiritual journey with some of the world's most prominent cricketers who actively embrace spirituality. They participated in the monumental event welcoming Lord Ram after a 500-year wait. Notably, individuals from Bollywood, the cricket fraternity, and even business tycoons in India converged in Ayodhya to extend their welcome to the revered god Rama.

In matters of spirituality, Rohit Sharma stands out as one of the cricketers who actively engages in temple visits during breaks. Ahead of the highly successful World Cup 2023 campaign, Rohit made a trip to the Tirupati Balaji temple, a tradition he had also followed before the World Cup 2019. The Indian captain was honored with an invitation to attend the welcoming ceremony for Lord Rama in Ayodhya.

Formerly regarded as one of the most stylish and unconventional cricketers globally, Virat Kohli, who once humorously dismissed the notion of his tattoos having religious connections by saying, 'Do I look Puja-Path Types?' has undergone a transformation. Presently, he seizes every opportunity to explore the historic temples of India, including visits to the Golden Temple in Amritsar and the Mahakal temple, reflecting a shift in his perspective and practices.

Keshav Maharaj, a South African cricketer of Indian origin, stands out as one of the distinguished players representing the Proteas in all three formats of the game. As a devout believer in Lord Rama, Maharaj consistently expresses his faith with entrances onto the cricket field accompanied by background music dedicated to the deity.

Ravindra Jadeja, India's renowned all-rounder, is known for his devoutness to Lord Rama and is consistently visible in his expressions of prayer. Recently, he received an invitation to participate in the welcoming ceremony at the newly constructed Lord Rama temple. Jadeja, a left-arm bowler, not only attended the ceremony but also captured moments by taking pictures at the temple, earning admiration from fans for his genuine devotion.

It could be aptly stated that today, the divine met the cricketing deity, as Sachin Tendulkar, often hailed as the God of Cricket, graced the newly constructed temple of Lord Rama. Sachin, known for his spiritual inclinations, carries stickers and miniature statues of Gods in his cricket kit trunk, reflecting his deep connection to spirituality.
