The visitors went into the final encounter under huge pressure, as they were trailing 1-2 in the five-match Test series against England. A win was the only way for the young visiting team to level the Test series.
And that’s when Raghavendra, the longtime throwdown specialist who is also known as Raghu, quietly played the Shri Shiva Rudrashtakam Stuti in the background in the dressing room. It was just an instinctual call that later became a routine.
As reported by Dainik Jagran, the Shri Shiva Rudrashtakam Stuti was played in the Indian dressing room for all five days of the fifth Test match against England, giving everyone a mix of calm and spiritual energy that they really needed at that point.
A member of India’s touring squad was quoted as saying by Dainik Bhaskar: “It wasn’t something we planned. But once it started, it became part of our environment. It brought this strange mix of peace and energy.”
Rudrashtakam created a kind of invisible bond in the team: an Indian player
Even after Mohammed Siraj’s match-winning wicket of Gus Atkinson, Rudrashtakam was still playing in the dressing room, and some players kept the chant in their daily lives, playing it in their cars or during personal time.

What is Shri Shiva Rudrashtakam?
Many believe that chanting the Rudrashtakam hymn with true devotion for seven days in a row can help remove big challenges and protect against enemies. It is said that Lord Rama himself recited the Rudrashtakam at Rameswaram, seeking Lord Shiva’s blessings before his final battle with Ravana.
Notably, the Indian cricket team is currently preparing for the upcoming Asia Cup 2025 in the UAE. The Indian selectors are expected to announce the squad for the tournament next week.
