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.

Jai Shree Ram,” Venkatesh Prasad wrote on X.
