Virat Kohli
Virat..never ersatz..fat cat with the bat
Look at record book stats in every format
Kerching bling King of tats
Vicious & pernicious in the ring
Kohli kidology methodology thing
Tit for tat..spit for spat
Bit of chit chat
Never ending..mind bending
No caveat..rat a tat tat
Doff your hat & all that
Could only be Virat
Parting platitude ”walking away with a heart full of gratitude”
Could fashion such passion..imbued and renewed..never did ration
Corking rude feud dude..talking..baulking
Stalking..attitude at any altitude or latitude
Memes about teams’ dreams out of kilter
Holy moly Kohli pout filter
Helter skelter belter..propensity for intensity & immensity
Willow Warlock at war
Shock & awe scores
Another blinding
Spellbinding run cascade
No dull lull draws
Just rapturous encores
Flayed and slayed by his masterly blade
Virat keeps composure despite heaps of exposure
Chiku knew he's in full view
Media..film crew queue
Leader but still one of the boys
Poise..no coy ploys.. despite the noise
Petulant up for the fight
Game reader..always right
Never reluctant to be truculent
Intransigent,belligerent yet diligent
Gifted superstar lifted the bar
No one else on a par
Move over for the incandescent
Luminescent…iridescent supernova
Going toe to toe with any foe
Standing proud…gung ho
Stealth in rude health..feathers ruffles
Scuffles and kerfuffles with the crowd
Even sometimes himself..out loud
Big hitter knew India had to get fitter
Their fanatical flair babysitter
Unique freak..demanding..technique and physique
The script..lets get ripped..or reprimanding
No more whim vim but vigour
Hustle..muscle & bustle in every tussle
The trigger...some gym rigour
Could not be clearer...end of magic era
Fans' Peter Pan Talisman of Elan
No-one would a tragic badger hold dearer
Kohli.. first one man band brand
Stopping Tests flopping..becoming bland.
Virat gave the oldest format a hand
Craved...saved and raved about his fave
Both mentor and depraved grand tormentor
As planned ...grandstand the Kohli brand
In the frame engraved as top
Hall of fame name
In the most beloved sort
Of this glorious sport
Have we seen…has there ever been
Fatter stat cat..old school yet new cool batter
Viral Virat spiral
Tribal bible revival & survival
Which no-one can rival
The game's ultimate mad hatter
