Poem: Celebrate the T20 Heroes

*

Congratulations, team India,
For dismantling New Zealand,
In a one-sided event,
Won by ninety-six runs.

*

The Indian team meshed well together,
Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson set the tone,
Ishan Kishan and Shivam Dube followed the rhythm.

*

Shivam Dube,

Thundered in the stadium,
And altogether,

The Indian batting turned into a run machine.

*

The New Zealand team had an unfortunate start,

Their pacers were often sent packing to the stands,

Their fielding was a poor show,

Where a crucial sitter was dropped.

*

They brought in their spinners late,

To salvage the game,

But by then,

Their pacers had handed over the game.

*

New Zealand tried to recover,

But Shivam Dube’s 26 from just 8 balls,

Sealed their fate.

And sent the Kiwis to an unreturnable place.

*

The New Zealanders had a subdued start,

Besides Seifert and Santner,

No one else could make a sound come back,

Leaving the Kiwis to a point of no combat.  

*

The Indian bowlers reigned throughout,

Bumrah and Axar Patel led the onslaught,

That uprooted the Kiwis’ innings,

And took the Indian team to the winning spot.

*

 Congratulations, Team India,

For achieving two consecutive victories,

Last time it was South Africa,

This time it was New Zealand.

*

It sounds like magic,

And we are now waiting for a hat trick.
