Bow your heads low
And stir your souls high
Beneath that cranium,
And above all the repercussions
Is a human, a superhuman…
For centuries may come,
And they may fall like rain
But never will you fathom this genius again
You call him a master, do you
You call him a blaster, do you
You call him a miracle
and a thunder, and a fire do you
A demon to the bowler down the wicket he is
A god in this cricket frenzy nation he is
The hope of a thousands of millions disciple
And the agony of a few disheartened atheists he is
He’s faced the torpedoes and the fireballs
And the swingers and the yorkers
He’s smashed them, he’s thrashed them
He’s sent them to the Pluto
and the Mars and the Saturn
He’s an era himself,
In this gentleman’s game
For thou shall ne’er see, this humility
In such extravagance of fame
May we keep alive Sachinism,
a proud Sachinist I am
I’ve seen the Master play,
That’s how lucky I am!
P.S: This poem is dedicated to Sachin’s 100th century. Special thanks to my friend Abhishek Nagaraja who motivated me to write this. 🙂
Sachinist, yes! Count me in too!
Fills me up with immense pride even as I read this, each word reflects the greatness and the humility of a man that defined the game for a whole generation out there – you, me and the millions more! A wonderful homage – this deserves a standing ovation.. both for the lil master and for your beautiful and heartfelt words! Excellent.. Piyush! 🙂
That is a great response actually, thank you for being so generous 🙂 Let the Sachinism enlighten us forever. i hope someday the master himself reads it 🙂

You call him a miracle
and a thunder, and a fire do you”
