Patriotism is at its peak,
His bat steady in position,
If the opposition gets going,
A thousand flags are swaying.
It all rests in his technique
To lead all those who are playing.
The pressure is paramount
And the noise is unparalleled.
Tension begins to surmount,
as the third batsman is felled.
So he comes out to fight,
to keep opposition at bay.
Victory can be in sight
only if he stays.
His bat steady in position,
He’s ready with all guns blazing.
When he’s at the crease,
It’s the bowler who’s on his knees.
His grip firm, he hurls his bat
at the ball that was to be punished.
And like a soldier in combat,
He swishes it for a marvelous six!
It isn’t just with the bat in which,
He’s a proven prodigy.
Even behind the wickets
He’s simply extraordinary!
If the opposition gets going,
Then he’s the go-to man, the best.
Every time he keeps showing,
That he’s the world’s smartest
Before everyone shut their eyelids,
The bails were off their groove.
Batter after batter dismissed,
He’s always on the move.
You’ll know it’s a fallen wicket,
When you see him dancing.
For he celebrates the spirit of cricket,
with equity that’s ever enhancing.
So calm yet so mighty,
Gentle, yet intimidating.
No one is his enemy,
For he embraced all, lovingly.
Such a charismatic leader,
We’re never bound to get.
The most regnant mind reader,
Always had his opponents beset.
Champion of Champions,
Be it ODIs , Tests or T20s,
Mahendra Singh Dhoni,
You’ll always be the best!
