The Coronation

3-4 years ago we discussed, a boy then 20 years old...
"He is THE future India Captain", my friend made a statement bold!!!

I couldn't agreed more with him, coz here was a young lad...
he had the ATTITUDE, just needed a correct launching pad.

From his debut against the Aussies, the world was made aware...
of a PRINCE whose batting had a lot of flamboyance and flair.

Then there was a slump in form, and a run drought...
and with the competition so stiff, he was kicked out!!!

Disappointed he went back to the grass-roots...
Correcting his mistakes to the details minute.

Team India had no choice but to bring him back...
coz they knew here was a guy who could take on any attack.

Bad captaincy and selfishness, made him a bench warmer...
But how long can you keep silent, a world class Performer?

Now he is back and back at what he does best...
hitting fours and sixes, making every match a no-contest.

The prince charming is ready, ready to be the king...
Here's a toast to the one and only - YURAJ SINGH!!!


For his last 15 innings read something like this: 79*, 0*, 103, 4*, 53, 49, 39, 82*, 79*, 37, 107*, 1, 18, 103, 48 . The scores show, that he has the talent. The not outs, show he has the responsibility to stay till the very end and finish off the match. His demeanor in the field shows he is astute and keen to learn. I guess it's time the selectors give him the vice-captaincy and mould him into a good captain under Dravid and Mr. Chappell.
