“Maybe Lucknow Franchise Can…” South Africa Star Keshav Maharaj’s Dream to visit Ram Temple in Ayodhya

On January 22, the entire country joyfully celebrated the 'Pran Pratishtha' ceremony at the Ram Temple in Ayodhya.

The ‘Pran Pratishtha’ ceremony of the Ram Temple at Ayodhya was held on January 22, and the entire nation rejoiced. The day before the event, South African spinner Keshav Maharaj wished India well and prayed for peace and unity. The Proteas spinner has expressed a wish to visit the auspicious place in India with his family. Maharaj, who presently leads the Durban Super Giants in SA20, is a devout follower of Lord Ram.

Durban Super Giants are the sister franchise of IPL team Lucknow Super Giants. Maharaj indicated that the Lucknow team could assist him with preparing a trip to Ayodhya.

“Unfortunately, the schedule didn’t allow me to visit during the inauguration of the temple. But in the future, I would definitely love to go and see the temple in Ayodhya,” Maharaj said on SportsTak

“Fingers crossed. Maybe in the future we can arrange for that. Maybe the Lucknow franchise can help. My family has always wanted to go on pilgrimage to India. So maybe it will be a nice family trip to go across to Ayodhya,” he added.

The Proteas talked about the song “Ram Siya Ram Jai Jai Ram,” which was played as he came to bat during the second Test against India.

“My faith in god is very staunch. I always believe that god has given me perspective and guidance and put me in situation where I am today. I am always grateful and give thanks. I am a staunch devotee of Lord Hanuman and Lord Ram,” said Maharaj.

“So it’s the least I can do to say thank you and get me in my zone and make me focused through hearing ‘Ram Siya Ram’ play in the background. So I sent the request through to the DJ and I am very fortunate that he could play the song for me when I entered,” he added.
