What Cricketeers Sing
By Subhajit Dey
Here’s what some of the cricketers ‘possibly’ be singing if they are BIG Kishore Kumar fan like me:
Ganguly - ‘Kuchh toh log kahenge, logo ka kaam hain kehna, chhoro bekaar ki baaton se kahi beet na jaye rayna’
Sachin (to McGrath) - ‘Aa dekhe zara kis mein kitna hain dum, dum se rakhna kadam mere saathiya’
Nayan Mongia - ‘Badi suni suni hain, zindegi yeh zindegi, main khud se hoon yaha(in the Indian dressing room) ajnabi ajnabi’
Harbhajan Singh (to himself during his lean period) - ‘Ruk jaana nahi tu kahi haar ke, kaaton pe chal ke milenge saaye baahar ke’
Azhar (to himself) - ‘Saala main toh sahab ban gaya’
Kapil (to his business partner Hiren Hathi whose premise was raided by CBI) - ‘Chal chal chal mere Hathi, o mere sathi’
Laxman (after the series against Australia) - ‘Zindegi ek safar hain suhana, yaha kal kya ho kis ne jaanan’
Azhar (when he met Mukesh Gupta) - ‘Ajnabi, tum jaane pehchane se lagteh ho’
Manoj Prabhakar (during the Tehelka tapes) - ‘Main tasveer utaarta hoon’
Kapil Dev (during the TV interview) - ‘Mere naina saawan bhaando, phir bhi mera mann pyasa’
Azhar & Jadeja (after they lost their place in the team)- ‘Zindegi ki safar mein guzar jaate hain jo makam, woh phir nahi aate’
Agarkar (to Ponting who also scored ducks, during the Test series) - ‘Diye jalteh hain, phool khilteh hain, badi mushkil se magar duniya mein dost milteh hain’
Shiv Sunder Das (during the Mumbai test, for the Aussie bowlers) - ‘Aaj unn se pehli mulaqat hogi, phir aamne saamne baat hogi’
Dravid (for all his critics) - ‘Chudi nahi hain mera dil hain dekho dekho toote na’
Dravid (determined to succeed) - ‘Nafrat karne walon ke seeneh mein pyar bhar du’
Ganguly (to Murali Kartik) - ‘Aa chal ke tujhe main leke chalu ek aisi gagan ki taleh’
Indian players for Graeme Hick (when he got the boot one more time)- ‘Chalte chalte mere yeh geet yaad rakhna kabhi alvida na kehna’
Narendra Hirwani (to the selectors) - ‘Bhool gaya sab kuchh, yaad nahi ab kuchh’
Md. Kaif - ‘Inteha ho gayee intezaar ki’
Ravi Shastri (after his break-up with Amrita Singh) - ‘Dil aisa kis
ne mera toda’
Steve Waugh and Ganguly - ‘Mujhe kuchh kehna hain, mujhe bhi kuchh kehna hain’
cricketers who basically live out of their suitcase - ‘Musafir hoon yaaron, na ghar hain na thikana’
Sachin & Kambli - ‘Baneh chahe dushman zamana hamara, salamat rahe dostana hamara’
Hansie Cronje - ‘Koi lauta de mere beete huey din’

It is true that most cricketers have told in interviews(like Sachin,Dhoni,Pathan,Rao)that Kishoreda is their favourite singer.Foolish Unknown1,this have been written as it is a site dedicated to genius Kishore Kumar,not to mediocre singers like Mukesh and Rafi.

It is good sense of humour, co-relating the body language of cricketers with KK songs. Good peace of research.
