Poem
Where do you begin with Ravichandran Ashwin...intellectual impresario Red ball romeo... conceptual maestro..the Kingpin of spin..leather lothario Perpetual taunting...teasing..bubbling cerebral cauldron formenting..haunting Troubling.. flaunting...tormenting..vaunting..fermenting..pleasing Luminosity...but another one of the band of badger brothers Reeks of unique chic tweak at its peak Bare faced cheek of genius geek cavorting Discerning pastor preaching while yearning for learning More about turning…..curiosity pique...sleek sporting freak Mythical master of disaster..have many if any been reaching 500 wickets faster Viral spirals about this sage despite his age still taking centre stage Batters like budgies trapped in a gilded cage As though he had planned to grandstand the Ravinchand bandstand brand...stealing the back page Revolution masquerading as evolution...cogitating...searching for a solution Ruminating..problems to fix with his swag bag of tricks..spinning absolution Precision physician with constant revision...each edition A new rendition.. high jinks with winks.. and nods to tradition Wondering...that furrowed brow..pondering how Career of seams caressed with finger finesse ... architect..engineer without peer… Can't debunk the magic funk…just respect from a Test tragic monk Scientist enthrall..sorcerer gall...still one of us...the best of us all. So hold your head high Ravichandran..still don't know why you were so often the fall guy Fans vicarious view..our meme..you part of our team...daring to dream..your art of derring do Iconic booty of noble probes…lush lullabies...strobes lapping global lobes Sagacious..loquacious oratory...the tonic...fruity frolic Fresh from laboratory duty..bodacious bucolic beauty Even naysayers can't deny they relish that conjuring charm from your cherished right arm. Let's zoom to the elephant in the room...is Ashwin the don of Indian spin With the skill and will to top the bill and still pip Anil? Kumble also a defiant giant on whom they were so reliant Hot to trot just not as savvy as Ravi The Don's got the lot..takes number one spot Wealth of stealth...doyen among men..but never ever about himself He loves cricket just for the cricket itself..zen then..
