Somnath Shivling destroyed by Mahmud Ghazni 1,000 years ago revived by Agnihotri Brahmin family – India TV

Published by Webster

Image Source : INDIA TV The fragments of the Shivling that was destroyed a thousand years ago. A Shivling of the Somnath Temple that was destroyed a thousand years ago, when Mahmud Ghazni had invaded India, is in the process of being revived. A few Agnihotri priests had taken the broken pieces of the Shivling. Sitaram Shastry, a priest from the lineage of saints who has been preserving the pieces of the sacred Shivling, met spiritual leader Sri Sri Ravi Shankar to get the Lingam consecrated at the Somnath Temple. Among the current generation of priests, he has been the custodian of the Lingam for the last 21 years. A thousand years ago, when Mahmud of Ghazni invaded India, he destroyed many places of religious worship, including one of the most revered Jyotirlingas—the Somnath Temple. On his 18th attack, he was able to destroy the Shiva Lingam, which was 3 feet tall and remained suspended 2 feet from the floor, defying gravity. In 1924, the then Shankaracharya instructed the family who had preserved the broken …

Published by Webster

India vs Bangldesh: Yashasvi Jaiswal© AFP Yashasvi Jaiswal curbed his natural flair to make a determined 56 against Bangladesh in seaming conditions here on Thursday, and the young opener said such experiences will make him a stronger, all-weather player in future. Jaiswal’s half-century and his 62-run partnership with fellow left-hander Rishabh Pant helped India avoid a total collapse on the first day of the opening Test after getting reduced to 34 for three inside the first 10 overs. “It was amazing to go out there and play in these conditions. It will make me strong and I will learn from it as to how to play in all these conditions and how to plan my innings,” Jaiswal told reporters in the post-day press meet. “I try to bat according to the requirements of my team and keep changing my game accordingly. If the wicket falls initially, how can I bat? When the runs are coming, how can I bat?,” he added. Jaiswal conceded that there was some help for the bowlers in the …

Bangladesh Pacer Hasan Mahmud Joins Dale Steyn To Record Rare Feat In 1st Test Against India

Published by Webster

Bangladesh pacer Hasan Mahmud joined the elite company of pacers alongside South African legend Dale Steyn to have four wickets as a visiting pacer on day one of a Test match in India since year 2000. Mahmud accomplished this feat during the first Test against India at Chennai’s MA Chidambram Stadium. The bowler delivered a scorching spell on first day, taking 4/58 in 18 overs at an economy rate of 3.20. The bowler got rid of a star-studded top-order consisting of skipper Rohit Sharma (6), Shubman Gill (0), Virat Kohli (6), and wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant (39). Earlier, back in 2008, Steyn had taken 5/23 against India at Ahmedabad, bundling out India for just 76 runs in their first inning and helping Proteas seal a win by an innings and 90 runs. Coming to the match, Bangladesh won the toss and elected to bowl first. The top-order collapsed and India was left at 34/3. Opener Yashasvi Jaiswal (56 in 118 balls, with nine fours) and Rishabh Pant (39 in 52 balls, with six fours) …

India vs Bangladesh: Rohit, Gill and Kohli perish early on Day 1 in Chennai Test as Mahmud snaps three | Cricket News

Published by Webster

Bangladesh dealt early blows to India in the first Test on Thursday in Chennai as the visitors claimed three wickets in the first session. 24-year-old pace sensation Hasan Mahmud produced a fine opening spell as he snapped Indian captain Rohit Sharma (6), Shubman Gill (0), and Virat Kohli (6) in the first session. Having won the toss, Bangladesh skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto opted to bowl first at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. This, on a Chepauk wicket with assistance to the seamers owing to an uncharacteristic grass cover. It was a decision that paid merits as early as the sixth over. A good length delivery around the off stump slightly seamed away and induced a nick off Rohit Sharma that was caught behind by Shanto at second slip. It wasn’t too later that Shubman Gill, yet to open his account after seven deliveries, tried to flick a full delivery down the leg side, only to be pouched by Litton Das. Virat Kohli was unable to stay in the middle for long either. While playing a length …

India Test series provides pathbreaking moment for Bangladesh: The first 150-kph-er in Nahid Rana and Hasan Mahmud, with unique action, raise fast-bowling hopes | Cricket News

Published by Webster

A speed merchant nudging 150kph, a sui generis in his country; a seam and swing merchant with dexterous wrists and a natural gift of bending the ball either ways; a beanpole left-arm quick coaxing unnerving lift and slippery pace; an exciting but erratic talisman discovering precision to ally his pace; a stream of young quicks bristling about in the domestic circuit. In unison, they are re-imaging the cricket identity of their country, from a land of left-arm spinners to fast bowlers. For much of their existence in international cricket, left-arm finger spinners formed the breathing soul of Bangladesh. The first famous cricketer from the pre-independent era was a left-arm spinner with handlebar moustache, Ramchand Goala; its first cult hero, Mohammed Rafique, practised left-arm spin too; its first superstar cricketer, Shakib Al Hasan, was inevitably a left-armer too. Left-arm spinners have accounted for 39 percent of Bangladesh’s wickets in Test cricket. The in-house banter used to be that if someone flipped a coin in the anarchic streets of Dhaka, a left-arm spinner would catch it. But …

Published by Webster

File photo of Khaled Mahmud.© X/@maruf52824981 Former Bangladesh captain Khaled Mahmud resigned from his position as Director of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) on Wednesday, says a report. Mahmud, who was first elected as a director in 2013 after defeating Gazi Ashraf Hossain, served three consecutive terms in the role. However, his latest term was cut short due to political shifts in the country. The change in the political landscape has reverberated across the BCB, leading to Mahmud’s resignation. These changes also come in the wake of former BCB president Nazmul Hassan stepping down from his position, which has triggered broader changes within the board, reported Cricbuzz. Throughout his tenure, Mahmud made notable contributions to Bangladesh cricket. He served as the chairman of BCB’s game development committee for many years, overseeing the development of the country’s young talents. One of the crowning achievements under his leadership was Bangladesh’s Under-19 team clinching the ICC Under-19 World Cup in 2020. Beyond his role as a director, Mahmud also acted as the interim head coach and …
