We are talking about Washington Sundar and Varun Chakraborty, who have circumambulated the Arunachala hill in Tiruvannamalai. This is 14 km. This is a journey which he completed barefoot. The video of these two players is going viral on social media.
Why is the circumambulation of Arunachala Hill done in Tiruvannamalai?
Arunachal Hill is considered to be the physical form of Lord Shiva. This fire is a symbol of flame. According to the Puranas, to remove the ego of Brahma-Vishnu, Shiva took the form of a pillar of infinite fire and later it became stable in the form of a hill. Therefore parikrama is considered to be the easiest and most powerful way of worshiping Shiva. Devotees circumambulate it after fulfilling their wish or after it is fulfilled. By doing this parikrama, apart from fulfilling the wishes, sins are also destroyed. One gets freedom from the cycle of birth and death. Knowledge is gained. By doing parikrama you move towards liberation.

Varun Chakraborty’s performance in T20 World Cup
Varun Chakraborty Took 14 wickets in 9 matches in the T20 World Cup. This player took wickets but Varun proved to be very expensive. His economy rate remained around 10 runs per over. Because of this, Varun Chakraborty’s ranking also declined and now he is no longer the number 1 bowler. Washington Sundar got a chance to play only two matches and he could not take even a single wicket. However, due to the amazing performance of Sanju Samson and Jasprit Bumrah, India achieved the feat of winning the T20 World Cup for the third time.
