Olympic Silver Medallist

Start

This 21-year old girl, Sindhu
From the land of the Hindu
Set the badminton court on fire
Her opponents in a quagmire

The shuttle flew like a bird
Dropped without being heard
In the other corner of the court
Giving no chance to retort

She wove magic in her game
In her quest for universal fame
As adversaries surrendered by the way
She strode like a colossus each day

Her delicate drop-shots caressed the net
Gives her a sure point you can bet
Her vicious smashes pierce the court
The only defense is to build a fort

A prodigy like her is rarely born
Whom the entire country might adorn
An analysis of her winning ways
Suggest only resolute mind and effort pays

The Olympic medal she has won
Has brought cheers to everyone
All fans are saying in one voice
“CHAK DE INDIA”, she’s our choice

End
