SOMETHING I LOOK AT-238
BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY

First innings 
After  your retirement 
The situation is tailor-made 
For a fitting display 

This is your home ground 
You have played 
So many memorable innings  here 
Why are feeling shy?
You just need one more 
To begin another illustrious career 

The atmosphere is electrifying 
The crowd is right behind 
Their expectations are high 
You are under pressure to deliver 
You know! you are on a newly curated track 
With uneven bounce 
You are to come good 
Against a formidable pace attack 

Hold your nerve 
You are the same you were 
Do not let the circumstance dictate terms 
Play your natural game 
Be patient
A combination of defence and calculated aggression will see you through 

You can better read the situation 
Your legs may not be moving well 
Your eyes may not be as sharp as used to be 
But your experience will make up 
For lack of quick reflexes 
Just hang on, wait for lose balls
Runs will invariably come.

Hope! you will come good
Your patience and experience 
Will see you through what people says 
The darkest phase  of life
You can not escape 
So play the ball on merit 
And accept the outcome with a smile on lips
