MS Dhoni: Yeh dil forever maange more

My narration below is not a figment of imagination,It’s just a mere tribute from a devotee to a sensation.A kind request to bear with me as we go,Hope in the end, this verse does not get an egg throw.In late 2004, stepped in a lad deemed as one of the young guns,As a slog over devastator, he loved initiating the ‘rain of runs’.His career kicked off with a duck really dejecting,But it was soon made clear that he had talent really sporting.A rare temperament was his prized possession,And the long, orange mane his dearest obsession.His endearing style icon image to our hearts brought him closer still,On the career graph, this Ranchi guy kept traversing uphill.Our beloved became his exquisite helicopter shot,For endorsements too, he was the pick of the lot.The dismal show in 2007 World Cup changed the whole scene,that, to continue supporting him, very few remained keen.This was a low very undesirable,But with time, healed were the state of minds so terrible.In the T20 World Cup, this guy was handed the dark horses’ rein,He led India to the trophy without enduring any pain.“MS Dhoni“ remained the name on every lip,He started soaring again after the year’s early World cup dip.From then on, he never ever looked back,successfully overcoming every hurdle on the track.Be It wicket keeping or batting, his show remained in front gear,making him twice, the esteemed ICC ODI Player of the year.In IPL, he was made the supreme Superking,Of his prowess then, no doubt remained lingering.Time and again, his exuberance steered India to victory,His success mantra to the opposition, till now is a mystery.Aussies, Kiwis or the English, all were shown their true place,After Lankan demise in ‘09, to MSD was handed, the ICC test mace.India failing to perform in the 2010 T20 World cup edition,gifted MSD from the media, criticism and admonition.Silencing the critics seemed to be his favourite hobby,For in June, he got the Asia cup to furnish his lobby.In September, he helped CSK emerge as the ‘Champions’ of the big bash,by beating the Warriors royally in the very, ultimate clash.The Kangaroos were then sent hopping back to their nation,Since their talent had faded seeing, the blues’ aggression.In December, it was time for the real test,Coz it meant the encounter between the two absolute best.Levelled was the test series and ours was the T20 playoff,But unfortunately, in the ODIs, weather conditions became rough.Though we lost, it was a fight back really brave;The days were leading up to the World cup so solemn and grave.India started their campaign as the favourites very firm,Easily making the opposition, in discomfort, squirm.In the ultimate game, the blues won the crown,Bringing to the jingoistic critics, a big, nasty frown.28 years back, Dev’s devils had created history,This year, MSD’s marvels prevailed with mastery.Unbelievable was the ardour with which he played that night,Displaying to the Emerald nation, a real champion’s might.“Smart, cool and heroic” describes him very well,“Hold !” there’s a bit more to my marathon tale.After 51 days of IPL struggle, CSK defended the title wonderfully,Thus paving its way to the glittering beauty skillfully.So, here I end with a resounding roar,“MSD !!!, Yeh dil forever maange more !!”
