Religion may divide us as Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Issai but as cricket lovers we are one
We eat cricket, drink cricket either one or four glasses or sometimes a six or even a ton
Cricket can unite us like no other glue and release energy more than Tsunami of Japan
Whole nation tied to TV screens watching us wash away teams of Lanka and Pakistan
As a rare shot, the film stars at Wankhede danced with players and their fans alike
And players lifted Sachin- the master blaster on shoulders as if he was light like a bike
The politicians of all hue and shades showered praise, cutting across party line
To Dhoni and all his boys to rise from slump and deliver a play super fine
It was not only Indians in India alone but across all the seas and all lands
Who watched with bated breath and prayed for our success with folded hands
Although the players remained and the wickets too but the ball count was getting low
With players on the crease and spectators on stands were wishing for victory somehow
Close to the end of game the run rate and balls in hand were just the same
Missing a run would be risky so Dhoni hit a grand six and easily won the game
After winning the Cup the nation became a scene of crackers and wine all night long
Never seen in India even when Rama won Sita back from Ravana after a battle long
Entire country was erupting in happiness from northern hills to the southern seas deep
The players were happy and overjoyed with tears wondering whether to laugh or weep
Dhoni was not even an embryo when India had won the ‘83 World Cup at Lord
With his birth was born the dream to get Cup again, howsoever team had to work hard
Winning the cup has once again proved that the strength lies in union of teams
Self belief and rigorous training add to happiness of a nation bursting at seams
