Have you ever wondered what's tucked away inside the mobile phones of your cricketing heroes? Beyond the memes and WhatsApp groups, what really lights up their screens

You'd be surprised-our cricketers aren't just focused on fast deliveries or six-hitting-they've got a whole playlist of songs, apps, and even spiritual tracks that make them just like us!

Hardik Pandya: The Spiritual Beats

If you think Hardik Pandya's only rhythm is the one he brings to the cricket field, think again. Behind those powerful swings, there's a spiritual side you'd never expect. Pandya revealed that his most-played track on his phone isn't the latest English chart-toppers; it's none other than the Hanuman Chalisa.

What's on your phone ft. Hardik, Shreyas, Shami, Jadeja

Yes, you read that right-the man who's got swagger on the pitch has also got his zen on in the form of devotional music. It's like finding out your favorite rockstar listens to lullabies before bed-unexpected, yet strangely comforting!

Ravindra Jadeja: Bollywood Dreams and Tunes

If you're thinking Jadeja's playlist is filled with peppy tracks that get him in the zone for his sharp spin deliveries, you'd be right... sort of. Jadeja is a true Bollywood buff, and his phone is a treasure trove of classic Hindi melodies. His top pick? "Ankhiyon Ke Jharokhon Se", a timeless song from the golden age of Bollywood.

The song exudes nostalgia, romance, and a dose of pure charm. The man can bowl you out, then serenade you with a sweet melody. What a multi-talented guy!

Shreyas Iyer: A Heartfelt Playlist

Shreyas Iyer, the guy known for his calm yet impactful innings, keeps it heartfelt on his phone too. His favorite jam? "Jo Tum Na Ho", a soulful track that speaks to the emotions of love and longing.

For a player who's always composed on the field, it's no surprise that he turns to songs that help him connect with the softer side of life. We wouldn't mind hitting the play button on that one either, Shreyas!

Mohammed Shami: For the Soulful Vibes

And then there's Mohammed Shami, who's all about that soulful vibe. With Arijit Singh's melodious tracks lighting up his playlist, it's clear that Shami's not just about pace and power.

His phone is an escape into a world of soft, heartwarming tunes that add an extra layer of depth to his on-field persona. Arijit Singh, Shami says, and honestly, who can argue with that? A man who bowls bouncers with one hand and calms the soul with the other-now that's the kind of balance we all need in our lives!

In the end, when the helmets come off, the stumps are packed away, and the crowds go home, these cricketing legends are just like us-chilling to the tunes that speak to their souls.
