YUVI- The forgotton Hero!?

YUVI- THE FORGOTTEN HERO!?

In the by lanes of Chandigadh,

A story unlike any other was being written.

Emerged a southpaw out there to mesmerize the viewer

Diving like a tiger to the ball that wasn’t even near

At Lords’ when the victory wasn’t even in sight,

He produced a miracle with an unmatched might!

At Durban, he was a BATman on a mission to kill

With a gorgeous swooping motion, he decided to thrill

And as he decided to bend his back knee

The fans knew it was a 6 to all their glee..

For me, an Indian smacking an Englishman was pure vengeance,

For opponents, he was always the disturbance!!

A character on field and a dude off it,

Advertising world had found a new style icon!

But then the form dipped

Injuries took a toll

Controversies and attitude was questioned

And brought forth a YUVI we hadn’t known!

From a star he was now considered a liability

But nothing could take away his ability!!

Came the hour and came the man..

When it mattered, he mattered the most!!

At Motera against the Aussies, he batted for his life!

At Mohali when his bat was mute

His bowling played a captivating flute

To lull the Pakistanis out!

At Wankhede, he brought us tears!

As the nation of a billion rose up for Cheers!!

Little did we know then that his body was a home to a tumor?

Oh yes, he eventually did recover!!

For he was a warrior wanting to fight!!

But the magic was missing

Against Sri Lanka in the T20 worldcup finals he was made the villain

And a Champion was forgotten!!

And as the 'HELICOPTORS' of politics started to hover,

He too knew it quite well that his chances for selection were fewer

And yes, they dropped him from the team,

But couldn’t from our memories which we shall cherish as a sweet dream..

Lion shouldn’t die a silent death

So don’t be surprised if he decides to roar his way back!!
