One Loss Poem by SHAILESH KUMAR MISHRA

You played like the real masters,
And fought like the deadly tigers;
No matter, you've lost the game, ...
All of you behaved like 'fighters'.

You've been playing well enough,
Thus there is not much to fuss;
True, cricket is the game of luck,
Today luck was deadly against us.

I still love you, my dear team India,
You have brought a lot of 'glory';
'One loss' cannot put you wrong,
And it is not the end of this story.
