الوصف: The strength of the global HI-21cm signal is several orders of magnitude lower than the foreground and background noise and hence it is difficult to observe this signal at a given radio telescope. However, a few recent studies reported the detection of that signal at the radio band suggests the strength of this signal is somehow magnified. In this analysis, we study the prospects of detecting this global signal at different frequency bands of uGMRT where this global signal is supposed to be amplified through the strong gravitational lensing by an isolated neutron star located in a cosmological distance. Our study shows the effects of the lensing parameters on the observables of that amplified global signal and discusses its variation with the frequency bands considered here. We present a method to estimate the position and size of an isolated neutron star using the signal-to-noise ratio of that global signal supposed to be detected at different frequency bands of uGMRT. We discuss the scope of multi-messenger astronomy in the era of HI-21cm observation where the estimated lensing parameters can be cross-validated using the pulsar detection at the X-ray band from the same location in the sky. Our analysis is equally applicable to any radio telescope with given specifications.
