Wankhede & Sachin.. 50-50..
The seed which was sown in 83,
Started taking shape in 88.
A little boy made his debut in first class cricket,
The world was about to witness something great..
That stadium must have forecasted the future,
I am sure it must have smiled within.
It witnessed the very first century of the God,
Miracle we all know as Sachin..
From then on it was a closely knit relation,
Be it Winning 2011 world cup or his 200th test.
He was encouraged to carry on post the 2007 debacle,
Reminding at Wankhede he can achieve his life’s best..
He kept chasing that dream keeping the hunger alive,
And worked towards achieving it day after day.
One day his lifelong dream came true,
The stadium was none other than Wankhede..
The ground which held his hand when he just arrived,
Was right there to embrace him on his final day.
Together they have given us plenty of memories,
Cheers to Wankhede which turns 50 today..
