To Ranjitsinhji let’s raise our hat,
There’s been none like him since.
I wish that I had seen him bat.
It’s with regret and saddened heart that
I’ve only seen him in aging prints.
To Ranjitsinhji let’s raise our hat.
A new breed of cricketer he begat
Playing for Sussex in three stints.
I wish that I had seen him bat.
On pitches sticky, grassy, flat,
Today they bat from his footprints.
To Ranjitsinhji let’s raise our hat.
He played his last game half-blind and fat
A sad finale making friends wince.
I wish that I had seen him bat.
On an Indian throne he sat,
An English batsman, an Indian prince.
To Ranjitsinhji let’s raise our hat.
I wish that I had seen him bat.
