A "spontaneous" humming of few lines by BJP MP's Manoj Tiwari and Anurag Thakur on Mahendra Singh Dhoni at the Parliament's Central Hall is going to take the shape of a full-fledged song before India takes on Australia in the World Cup semifinal on March 26.

The light-hearted moment was uploaded by Thakur on Youtube where NCP MP Supriya Sule and BJP MP Meenakshi Lekhi can also be seen crooning "Hone wala anhoni hai, jeet ke aane wala Dhoni hai".

"The lines came to me spontaneously but later I added lyrics to the song. I will compose music for it and make it public soon," Tiwari told PTI.
 

"I appreciate Supriyaji, Meenakshiji, Anuragji for joining in. That was such a sporting gesture on their part. Supriya even recorded the whole moment," he added.

Showering effusive praise on the Indian cricket captain, Tiwari, BJP's North East Delhi MP, said he admired Dhoni as he thinks was "not only a good cricketer but also a good human being".

"I believe that when I sing for him I sing for the whole team. I wish them all the success," he said.

On being asked whether he was planning a quick dash to Australia for the semifinal encounter against Pakistan he said, "I have certain superstitions in this regard so I would watch the match sitting at home as usual... Don't want to take any chances," he smiled.
