I probably shouldn't be writing this here - or anywhere on social media to be precise. But if I act diplomatically, that's not me.

"Mahi raina duo breaks"
"Suresh raina unsold for IPL 2022"
"MSD and SURESH RAINA won't be seen playing together again"

Okay, I know, I know it's just a league, it's just a game, it's just a duo, it's just an on field synchronization.

For me, that is an emotion, a family, two best friends and a duo who was unbreakable.

Keyword being was.

When CSK didn't bid for raina even at the base price, I can't even explain how numb I felt. It might seem as if I'm exaggerating, but well, no. Trust me I'm not.

You call him your Chinna thala. You call him a family. You had him since the beginning, so many crucial knocks, so many match-winning instances when it was only possible because of him.

And still, they didn't buy him even at the base price.

I'm originally the overthinking types. I start overthinking at the slightest of things, and this made me do that, yet again.

My 2013 heart, my champions Trophy team, my family.

They're not going to be seen playing 5 years hereafter.

They're going to retire.

The team is going to change.

For me, the entire meaning of "cricket" Is going to change.

I miss mahi, I do. I know I'm going to be missing Virat, rohit, Jinks as I write this.

Just like I Miss chinna thala in chennai.

This IPL auction seriously had a toll on me, and I'm like REALLY, REALLY serious. This hurts.

Fine, I don't mean to depress or sadden someone. But I desperately needed a vent and what's better than wattpad?

I'm sorry again for typing crap, maybe.
