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
The Kohli kidology psychology methodology thing
Tit for tat,spit for spat,bit of chit chat
Never ending..mind bending
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
Willow Warlock at war..scores with shock & awe
Another blinding..spellbinding run cascade
No dull lull draws..just rapturous encores
Flayed and slayed by his masterly blade
Virat keep’s composure despite heaps of exposure
Chiku knew he's in full view...film crew
Media peeps.. seedier creeps 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
No-one would a tragic badger hold dearer
Fans' Peter Pan Talisman of Elan
Kohli.. the 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
That knew chatter splatter..did matter
So let’s flatter the viral Virat natter...pitter patter spiral
Tribal bible revival & survival
Which no-one can rival
The game's ultimate mad hatter
