For The Love Of Cricket
For The Love Of Cricket
Packed stands
Deserted roads
Cheering crowds
Emotions explode
Painted visages
Patriotism on sleeves
Fluttering tri-colours
A nation in hysteria
A people in celebration mode
Last ball
Three to win
Nail biting
Bated breaths
Agitated minds
Prayers on lips
Edge of the seat excitement
Anxious wait
For the magical moment
The batsman strikes a sixer!
Cutting across all barriers
The stadium erupts
With thunderous approbation
A euphoric nation of 1.2 billion
Exults in celebrations
Chants of India India India India
Reverberate in synchronization
Isn't CRICKET a unifying ideation
