A Passion

There is no game without a Fan 

Fans encourage the players 

And the players in turn respond to their cheers 

Every Nation has a typical sport 

Interest 

Likewise in India, cricket is the best 

The fan following is crazy, the sponsoring baffling,

Academia, teaching and training for cricket, amazing 

A sport, not just played for fun today

But competition between Nations to stay 

Diplomatic relations and divergent traditions 

Exchange programmes and entertainment sections 

Media management and National reflections 

All for country's glory and grandeur 

Cricket is a passion, with every person of any gender 

It's taken on to a global dimension

A passion, a fever, a craze of unknown proportion 

The magic with bat and ball 

The men in the field trying to stall 

Running, jumping, falling and rising 

Hitting, driving, lofting and swinging 

Cricket indeed is a fantastic sensation 

One sport, that brings us together as a Nation.
