Awesome Men in Blue - We're Very Proud of You



Bleeding blue for ever – Our awesome men in blue
1.4 billion joyous hearts are very proud of you
Stumped for words and goose bumped – feelings running high
The first team to win every game – Bharat Mata ki jai

Rohit Sharma’s captaincy – on every single day
Inspired his star-studded team much more than words can say
Kohli scoring 76 – saving his best for last
Bat in hand – he was our man – our champion unsurpassed

A spectacular performance by 11 on the field
Brought tears to adoring fans – their joy was unconcealed
Chahal, Dube, Samson, Kuldeep Yadav and Singh
Proved that perseverance can accomplish anything

Siraj, Pant and Jaiswal as well as Jadeja
Were legends who lived up to ‘Chak de India’
With his fearless 47 Axar aced his game
Silencing detractors Hardik reclaimed global fame

Bumrah’s stellar thunderbolts and Surya’s stunning catch
A heart-stopping amazing feat - the marvel of the match
Miller batting Hardik; the ball over the rope
Almost going for a six, the team was losing hope

A match-defining turning point – history in the making
Surya rose to action – a moment so breath-taking
Stepping over ropes, he flung the ball back in
Leaping back – catching the ball – a record-breaking win

A thrilling seven-run win – a trophy now in hand
Is music to the ears of a Cricket crazy land
Spectators celebrating while they scream ‘Paisa Vasool’
Outstanding Dravid – brims with pride – Our calm and cool - Rahul
