Kanga Cricket League, which began in Mumbai 77 years ago. Its 2025 edition has started from August 10, but in the meantime, the name of Muslim cricketer Shams Mulani is currently on everyone’s tongue. Actually, before playing his first match in the tournament, Shams Mulani was seen worshiping stumps with Hindu customs. He offered flowers in front of the stumps and also gave the message of unity by bursting coconut.
Example of unity introduced
A video of Shams Mulani has also surfaced, in which he wreaths in front of the stumps, climbing sweets and then coconut. Shams is an all -rounder player by profession and has been doing well in Mumbai in domestic cricket. Like every time, this time also the Kanga League has started in the monsoon season. He also added his hands to the stumps.
As soon as this video surfaced, it created a sensation on the internet. Shams Mulani, despite being from the Muslim family, has set an example of unity by worshiping stumps according to Hindu customs. In cricket or other sports, such a religious ritual is often performed before launching a tournament or match, which is considered a symbol of respect for all things used in cricket field and sports.
