Ramakrishnan then decided to write new cricket mantras so that the right principles are followed in the selection of the team, constitution of the cricket board, etc. He also wanted to see that there is entertainment for the cricket loving public. He also had mantras to keep the bookies away from the 'great game'.
For 2007 World Cup, Ramakrishnan has not made any special prayer for any special player like he did last time for Sachin, Sehwag, etc. "I get the feeling that God wants to encourage everyone including newcomers or anyone who is talented. When I am praying for Team India, it is only for the entire team and not for any particular player."
Of course, there are slokas for the media too who spread His message to the fans of cricket!
Ramakrishnan is not disappointed that no cricketer has come to pray to his Cricket Ganesha. "The duty of a cricketer is to play and he should concentrate only on that. God will help all those who work hard and pray sincerely."
