We tossed the coin and won the toss,
the batting is on our side!
Chorus: On our side, on our side!
Male: The bat is raised, the ball is caught,
where is the fielding side?
Chorus: Where are they, where are they?
If I hit, it is sure to be a six!
If I set my mind to it, it is a hat-trick!
Chorus: If you hit, it is a six!
Male: A six!
Chorus: If you set your mind, it is a hat-trick!
Male: A hat-trick!
I will dazzle in cricket, victory is in my hands!
We tossed the coin and won the toss,
the batting is on our side!
Chorus: On our side, on our side!
...
Whether we score runs or get run out,
the victory is on my side!
Chorus: On your side!
Male: Whether I stand and smash or duck and bend,
my speed is like a fired gun!
Chorus: Such speed!
When the fast ball comes flying in,
I will thrash it all over!
When the spin ball comes turning in,
I will wait patiently and tap it!
Thirty runs in just one over,
look at the scoreboard, my dear!
No catches given, no wickets bowled,
there is no shortage of centuries!
We tossed the coin and won the toss,
the batting is on our side!
Chorus: On our side, on our side!
Male: The bat is raised, the ball is caught,
where is the fielding side?
Chorus: Where are they, where are they?
The bowling is delivered, my darling is watching,
go stand in the slips, man!
Chorus: Stand there, man!
Male: It nicked the bat and the ball popped up,
that catch belongs to me, man!
Chorus: A catch, man!
Like an arrow on the field, that stump will fly,
the wicket is gone, man!
Do not mess with me, I have the strength,
show me the tricks you have got!
In bowling, I am Kapil (Dev),
when I pick up the bat, I am our Srikkanth!
Right in front of the umpire,
I am the champion of this game!
We tossed the coin and won the toss,
the batting is on our side!
Chorus: On our side, on our side!
Male: The bat is raised, the ball is caught,
where is the fielding side?
Chorus: Where are they, where are they?
If I hit, it is sure to be a six!
If I set my mind to it, it is a hat-trick!
Chorus: If you hit, it is a six!
Male: Yes, a six!
Chorus: If you set your mind, it is a hat-trick!
Male: Ooh-hoo!
I will dazzle in cricket, victory is in my hands!
We tossed the coin and won the toss,
the batting is on our side!
Chorus: On our side, on our side!
Male: ...
Where is the fielding side?
Chorus: Where are they, where are they?
