In a surprising expression of his faith, former Pakistani cricket star Danish Kaneria took to social media to voice his excitement for the upcoming inauguration of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya. Kaneria, once known for his fiery spin bowling spells, shared a heartfelt post on the micro-blogging site 'X', celebrating the completion of the grand temple and expressing his anticipation for its consecration.

His message, accompanied by a photo of himself proudly holding a saffron flag bearing Lord Ram's image and the temple, resonated with many users. In the vibrant picture, Kaneria stands tall, seemingly embracing his Hindu faith. His tweet, saying "हमारे राजा श्रीराम का भव्य मंदिर है तैयार, अब सिर्फ 8 दिन का है इंतजार! बोलो जय जय श्री राम।", has garnered considerable attention, sparking conversations and appreciation for the cricketer's personal expression. The tweet translates to "Our King Shri Ram's temple is ready, Just a wait of 8 days is left. Jai Shree Ram".

His tweet, devoid of political commentary or religious debate, highlights a personal connection to the construction of the Ram Mandir and the significance it holds for him. His Twitter post, both personal and symbolic, offers a glimpse into the individual connection believers forge with sacred spaces, transcending geographical borders and past narratives.

Allegations of racism

Recently, Kaneria has been in the news for alleging that he faced discrimination due to his religious background during his playing career. His claims, made over a decade after his retirement, spark concern about potential bias in Pakistani cricket. However, investigations into Kaneria's claims haven't been conducted, making verification challenging.

While the truth remains unclear, Kaneria's voice raises the vital issue of inclusivity in sports. Open discussions and thorough investigations are crucial to address any discrimination, if present, and foster a more equitable environment for all players.
