#DidYouKnow: Who Wrote "De Ghumaa Ke - The Official ICC Cricket WC 2011 Anthem?

Decade ago, billions dreams were fulfilled with MS Dhoni's 'magnificent strike'. With that monstrous six against Kulasekara, Dhoni not only gave millions of Indians a memory worth revisiting throughout their lives but also fulfilled the long-cherished dream of batting legend Sachin Tendulkar, who had, until then, almost all the trophies in his cabinet except the World Cup. Tendulkar, known as the 'God of Cricket', had waited 22 years for lifting the trophy and on April 2, 2011, his dream finally came true at his home ground.

BUT

Did you know, who was the writer of this winning moment - "De Ghumaa Ke.

"De Ghumaa Ke" literally means "Swing It Hard". The song's lyrics were written by Manoj Yadav. LYRICS:

Jeeyo khiladi wahe wahe - 4

Ayede peyde de ghumake aare paare de de ghumake

Gutthi guttham de ghumake adchan khadchan de de ghumake

Jeeyo khiladi wahe wahe - 2

Hmm…. ayede peyde de ghumake aare paare de de ghumake

Gutti guttham de ghumake adchan khadchan de de ghumake

Juta hosla badal faisla badhale tu bindas kafila

Khel jamale, kasam uthale bajake chutki dhul chata de

De ghuma ke, ghuma ke, ghumake... - 2

Jeeyo khiladi wahe wahe

De ghuma ke, ghuma ke, ghumake... - 2

Aasman mein mar ke dubaki uda de jaa suraj ki jhapki

Sarr se chir hawa ka parda bandhle patte jamke gardaa

Mar ke surri sagar mein tu chhaang bator laga gal mein

Phaad ke chhappar masti mauj ki baarish hogi ghar ghar mein

De ghuma ke, ghuma ke, ghuma ke... - 2
