Game, Grit, And The Gita: Cricketers’ Spiritual Playbook
Indian cricketers like Shreyas Iyer, Virat Kohli and KL Rahul have often talked about consulting the Bhagavad Gita for mental strength and clarity both on and off the field.
Shreyas Iyer, who describes the Gita as “a companion that helps one think and stay balanced,” has now partnered with faithtech platform Bhagavad Gita for All (BGFA).
“For everyone, Bhagavad Gita is not just a book; it is a companion that helps you think, stay balanced and find purpose in the midst of challenges. It is beautifully designed and very relevant to today’s generation,” he said.
For many athletes, including Kohli, who emphasizes spiritual foundation to transform his mindset, and Rahul, who says the Gita’s teachings have helped him “detach from results”, the scripture has become a quiet anchor amidst the chaos of competition.
