               "The Art of the Seam" He walks in quiet, calm and light,   No drama, no fire, just pure delight.   With ball in hand, he starts his run,   And that’s when magic has begun. From dusty nets in Meerut town,   To cricket’s grandest, golden crown,   He carved a path both still and steep,   Where swing can wake a game from sleep. His action smooth, like flowing stream,   A bowler's grace, a dreamer’s dream.   No wasted move, no sudden fight Just rhythm, timing, pure and right. They call him poetry in motion,   A swing king with silent devotion.   The seam obeys, the air it bends,   And batsmen hope, but rarely fend. He doesn't shout, he doesn't glare,   He just lets the ball dance in the air.   An outswing tease, an inswing kiss Each delivery, a quiet bliss. From small-town roots to world stage fire, ...

                      KL Rahul – A Story in Rhyme 🏏 A boy with dreams, a bat in hand, From Mangalore’s warm, dusty land. He trained each day, he worked so hard, With silent hope and full regard. He got his chance, his debut day, But nerves and pressure came his way. The runs were few, the critics loud, Yet Rahul stood, both strong and proud.

They dropped him once, then brought him back, He changed his game, got back on track. He kept the gloves, he changed his spot, He gave his best, he gave a lot. In Tests, in T20s, ODIs too, He played each role, he saw it through. With calm and class, with style and grace, ...
