Danish Kaneria is the last Hindu player to play for Pakistan. A leg-spinner, Kaneria was one of the most important players for his team, being one of the best spinners in his country. Despite his skill and importance, he was discriminated against for years as he wasn’t a Muslim. He was also pressured by his teammates to convert to Islam, but he didn’t give in. 

For the past few days, he has publicly let everyone know how excited he was for the Pran Pratishtha of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya. He had tweeted a photo of himself with a flag which had a photo of the Hindu deity and since then he kept posting photos of the Ram Mandir.
