Sachin the tenth wonder

A lot had been said, written

By the legendary cricketers,

Journalists, the critics even

The great Don Bradman found him

Walking in his shoes, admired greatly..(1)

Had been considered all-time great,

Number one by the Australians

Along with millions around the world

Had been so modest not to

Speak a word about his cricket..(2)

As humble disciple

Of the Guru, the Coach

and the game of cricket itself

had been learning from

the beginning to the glorious end

the art of defending with

straight bat, driving, cutting,

flicking, pulling, hooking and

innovating new shots throughout..(3)

He presented lean, polite, lovely,

Social modest human being

Remained down to earth

After achieving glorious records

Had fair relation with all..(4)

His records, figures, numbers

And all achievements can't speak

Of his optimism, preparedness,

Bating elegance, master strokes,

Twinkling footwork, strong concentration

Above all his sublime,

And impeccable behavior..(5)

He was made multi-millionaire

By the game of cricket

Bestowed much coveted

Bharat Ratna award

Conferred Member of parliament

Showered several honors..(6)

He never complained, regretted,

grumble when given out unnecessarily

or out at nineties himself

or deprived of a double ton

or missed his beloved

children's birth days, their

school annual days, many

festivals, family functions

as he had made

the treast with cricket..(7)

 

He was a fearless warrior

facing fastest bowlers

thrashing and throwing

them over the fence

he stood firm like

a strong banyan tree

in Sharjagh's sandy storms

to win semi and final matches

against mighty Australian Team..(8)

Never never was player

so popular, loved and admired

by the people from all walks of life

surpassing the greatest

celebrities the players

and the artist all over the world..(9)

 

Taking into account

his legendary life and cricket

Sachin is undoubtedly

Be rated and voted

as the tenth world wonder..(10)
