Cricket is worshiped in India. When a team is elected, neither religion is seen nor gone in it, only the ability of that player is seen in it. Players also respect each other’s religion and customs. An example of this was seen in the Kanga League of Mumbai, where Muslim cricketer Shams Mulani worshiped wickets with Hindu customs. Its video is going viral on social media.

Kanga League is held every year in Mumbai, in which the local cricket club of Mumbai plays. This season has started from August 10. This time the style of starting the event was very special, which caught everyone’s attention. Shams Mulani started it by worshiping wickets and pitch.

Employees who maintain the pitch in many stadiums in India worship the pitch in this way when they prepare the pitch before the start of any tournament. Even after the pitch is ready, we worship the wickets. Employees also do this while preparing pitch for many international matches.
