Mohammed Shami, the top bowler for the Indian cricket team, has stated that he is fine with people chanting “Jai Shri Ram.” He said that he could gladly say “Allahu Akbar” if he so desired. ‘Jai Shri Ram’ chants reverberated throughout the nation following the recent opening of the Ram temple in Ayodhya by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Although the entire nation was commemorating this momentous occasion, similar instances apparently occurred in numerous locations, raising more concerns.

Shami was questioned about the subject of religious minorities being targeted in India on the “Chaupal” program on News18 India. He retorted, saying that there are five to ten persons in every religion who do not get along with one another. It doesn’t bother me in the slightest. similar to how the topic of prostration arose. For instance, what’s the issue with chanting Jai Shri Ram if your temple is still under construction? Say it a thousand times. I will recite Allahu Akbar a thousand times if I so choose; what difference does it make? Nothing comes of this for anyone. Nothing comes of this for anyone. However, the game is playable by everybody.
Shami said,
“Like how the topic of Sajda came up… If Ram Mandir is being built, then what’s the problem in saying Jai Shri Ram… say it 1000 times. If I want to say Allahu Akbar then I will say it 1000 times.”pic.twitter.com/HjHd4FTJq8

Mohammed Shami has not played cricket since the 2023 World Cup. The bowler with the most World Cup wickets, Shami, is out with an ankle injury. At the end of the previous year, he was selected for the South Africa tour. However, he left before the season. Shami will also not be participating in the England series. He is sorely missed by Team India.
