11 Men War

11 Men War

1 min
189

A sport that has more to give

Than just entertainment,

Calls for 60 minutes of pure, 

Undivided attention,

Be it couch or stadium seat

It definitely promises excitement

A wicket down can transcend into

A heart attack and how

Beauty lies in knowing

The tables can turn

Any minute now...


2011- a dream of a million

1 ball, 1 bat, 1 wicket, 1 ground

And 2 blue men, going leaps and bounds

For a dream that seemed believable now

And hundreds and thousands of heartbeats

Cheering on

"India, India!!!!"

A united voice quivered even the gods now

Last few minutes of the finale of world cup

And we couldn't keep calm...

4 runs and 11 balls to splurge

But,

The epic finisher at the receiving end

Was enough to know

We were in for a staggering spectacle

Next ball made its mark at MS's bat

Only to hang up mid air

Just for a split second,

Call it synchronity of a blue moon-

100 million hearts skipped a beat together....

The ball knocked out of the park

Pumping us with a joy so flamboyant,

At that moment,

Our Victory turned into an Emotion...

Overnight,

We became the world champions!


Unit digit of the year has changed

Spirit of unity still remains the same.

11 Indians up for a war again

Again, the hustle is going to be rough...

Save us the thrill,

Wine and champagne are all great for celebrations

But this time...

We'll raise a toast with the cup...
