Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Muhammad Ishaq Dar has called upon the Pakistan cricket team to step onto the field in a state of ablution (wudu) for tonight’s high-stakes Pakistan-India final, 24NewsHD TV reported on Sunday.

 Dar highlighted the spiritual value of ritual purity, recalling that some of the most celebrated players in cricket history had made it a practice to enter the ground after performing ablution.

He claimed that these legendary cricketers established their remarkable records while adhering to this personal religious practice.

"I know this as their personal secret," Dar stated, emphasizing his close personal knowledge of the former stars' routines, suggesting a spiritual dimension behind their on-field successes.
