“And the final score of Australia is 336, that’s a pretty high target for Indian team, the bowlers were bashed, the fielding was not that well.

Though Indian team have reached the finals they really don’t seem like playing the finals, the bowling team really didn’t do upto the mark, with the batting line up they have, can they pull up the mighty Australia? or will the be the Aussie champions again? Let’s watch”

….

“Boys no disheartening just focus on the batting now, Ram Rishab pad up quick”

“Sir one change”

“Yes Ahaan”

“I will open”

“But..”

“Along with Karthik”

“Seriously ye tumhara garden ka khel nahi hai Ahaan, Karthik lower middle order batsman hai”

“I usually don’t take risks sir, but you know when I take I have a reason for it” the whole dressing room became silent

“Pad up quick Ahaan and Karthik, I am trusting you Ahaan and your trust on Karthik, don’t let us down”

“Absolutely not” he nodded his head with confidence

….

“Ishqi, Ishqi, Ishqiiiiiiii look”

“Kya hua”

“Ahaan and Karthik are opening!!!!!!” she said with a huge smile on her face

“What?? aise decision kyu liye hai, Karthik ko opening mai lena risk hai vo lower order mai kar raha”

“Mai kuch nahi bol rahi, let my boy show you the game”

“But you too know vo risky hai, Australia team hai, kya soch ke Ahaan ye decision liya hoga”

“Vo sab Karthik aur Ahaan ke liye alag bowlers rakhe honge vo bhi unke last overs mai, nobody knows ye dono opening karenge tho kaise batting karenge, it’s unpredictable for them to anticipate their skills, that leads to stress and that leads to mistakes and that leads to lots of runs for us” she said with a smirk

“Tu kyu anchoring nahi karti hai, tereko tho bohot knowledge hai”

She just smiled at her, “beth ke match dekh tu, tera boyfriend aur mera boyfriend itne mushkil se ham sab ke liye VIP passes arrange kiya hai”

“Ishqi jiju dekh rahe hai tere taraf” sahil shouted from his corner of the seat, her head snapped to the ground where he was standing, he was wearing his gloves looking at her, she looked around so that no camera captured her  and passed a flying kiss to him

He just chuckled at her and winked at her wearing the helmet, the tension was now gone, now he wanted to play and hit as much as possible

This Delhi ground has seen the young, passionate aggressive batsman Ahaan and again today this Delhi is gonna witness the Aggressive Captain Ahaan Malhotra

“Bhai any plan?”

“Haath mai bat hai, samne ball aayega bass jitna dur ho sake utna dur maar”

“Shouldn’t we start slow?”

“Never” he said with a playful glint and walked to his place

The opposition looked shocked, they were changing the fielders again and again the captain was still on talk to the bowler but then umpire signaled them
