One for the God himself.

His willow gets heavier as he 
reminisces about his past.
He walks through a dark tunnel,
where he would walk through last.

Billions attentive to see
their hero padded up.
For the number of supporters,
he should have won a cup!

Arriving at the pitch,
hopeful of a good inning.
Focused on departing from cricket
proving himself worthier than winning.

Takes his stance and fear swiftly
accumulates on his forehead.
For many years, this moment he
has sorrowfully dread.

The pace bowler pacing down the track 
to increase his anxiety.
But after a while, he shows his 
true strength of annihilatory.

With a decent score and calmness
in his mind, he departs.
Bangladeshi players applauding with 
great respect and remarks.

Newspapers, news and magazines filled with
reports of the God's retirement. 
Tears filled in his eyes when giving his speech while 
countering with a skill of emotional management.

He has single-handedly proved that one man
can change the face of cricket, he has proved to be a star.
His name echoed in every cricket fan's ears,
he is Sachin Tendulkar!
