"India's Greatest Moment...": Pace Great Venkatesh Prasad Elated After Getting Ram Mandir Consecration Invite

Venkatesh Prasad is one of the best pacers that India has ever produced. At a time, when India were not known for their pace prowess, Venkatesh Prasad teamed up with Javagal Srinath and others to give a glimpse of the fast bowling force that the team would go on to become. Prasad played 33 Tests and 161 ODIs taking 96 and 196 wickets in the formats respectively. His performance at the ODI World Cups is part of India's most talked about performances on the cricket field.

On Tuesday, Venkatesh Prasad revealed that he has got an invitation to attend the Ram Mandir consecration in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh.

"It was a hope and a desire, that in my lifetime Ram Mandir consecration happens. And what a moment, not only is the consecration happening on 22nd January, but have the great fortune and blessings to be able to attend India's greatest moment in my lifetime. Thank you for the invitation.
Jai Shree Ram," Venkatesh Prasad wrote on X.
