The Cricketer and his fan

Part 20

Divya Pov:

Thank god uncle is fine with us. I don't know what would have happened if he did not approve. As of now, all are happy and good. That's what I want in life. I still can't believe all this. This still feels like dream to me. Shreyas has been wonderful, he never forgets to show his love. Shreyas has left for the stadium for today's match. We will go altogether in some time.

I wore a white shirt and a blue jacket. I going to meet "The Indian Cricket Team", MS Dhoni, Rohit Sharma, Shreyas's friend Shardul and Rishabh too. I called Abhishek to join too us. So me, Yug, Ragini, Abhishek, Shrestha, Sujit, Uncle, and Aunty are going to the stadium.

Shrestha wore Shreyas T-shirt number 41. I also wanted to wear it but the media might think anything so did not dare to wear it today and I am still practicing what to say in front of the team.

We all went to the stadium and got situated in the VIP section. Shreyas was still practicing with team members as the time for was not near for the toss. Rishabh told him something in his ear and he then looks at us with his signature smile. Looks like he has told his teammates about us, as everyone was teasing him and was saying hi to me. I too said then hi animatedly. After some time Virat Kohli came for the toss and India has won the toss.

Today Shreyas was opening the inning along with Rohit Sharma. I prayed to god for a century today. So that all his last tour failure will be out of the mind of a people. Match started with Shreyas hitting a ball for a 4. This is a good start for Shreyas and Team, hope he continues the same. We took lots of pics with everyone. Lots of people were taking pictures with uncle & aunty as well. I am so happy today, everyone near me was happy too. Yug was enjoying a lot with Shardul's sister Pari. Looks like someone got a crush on someone. Now I will get a chance to tease him, I am really happy for my brother.

After 10 over India were 75-0 and Shreyas was on 47*. Aunty, Shrestha, and Me were praying for a 50 and Abhishek was joking about us saying all these ladies prayers only make him do his fifty & he does not need to lift a bat at all. I was about to reply to him back but saw our faces on the main camera with my & Shrestha's hands in praying. I got embarrassed and tried to hide behind aunty, but Shreyas saw this and was laughing at this. How can he laugh at my expense, will see him after the match.

Finally, Shreyas completed his fifty with the six. We were really happy. People looked happy too. The team looked happy too. Shreyas was happy too. In Shrestha, I have literally found my younger sisters. We both were cheering for Shreyas from the start. I took a camera and took a picture of my Shree. He was still looking at us with an amused smile. I took few pictures of Yug and Pari, Shresta and Sujit, also of Ragini and Abhishek. I called uncle and aunty to take photos too but uncle wanted to see his son doing wonders on the pitch. Still, I took uncle-aunties pictures secretly with amused expressions on their face.

Shreyas is totally on fire today. He scored 87 runs in just 50 balls and India was in a very good position because of this partnership. He is really the perfect person; I have to work on myself to be with him. Every girl in the stadium is saying Shrey ..Shrey to encourage him. Sometimes I seriously think, what does he like in me? I mean he can get any girl in the world. Then Why me? This is the thing with me I am an overthinker and somewhat insecure about Shreyas. Shreyas is like that only. He is my prized possession. I still can't believe we are together, we hugged, we kissed, we informed our parents. This is too much information for me and this kind of life is totally new to me.

After coming back from a little self-discussion, I looked at scorecard and I got shocked. Rohit was got just now and Shreyas was on 93 runs. Virat Kohli came on number 3 and took 1 run. Now Shreyas was on strike. God please please... help him with the century. Shreyas took a 1 run and over was finished. So he was still on the strike. On the next ball, he put the ball for a six and was a no-ball. With this, he has completed his century. I was jumping and cheering for him, I was so happy that I did not realize that I was crying too. When Aunty said why are you crying, then I came to know. I just hugged her and said this was so important to him after the last tour. He was so stressed; I am so happy for him. She asked me to smile as Shreyas was looking at us.

When I lifted my face, I saw Shreyas looking at us with a worried expression. He asked what happened with eyes, I said no nothing, and started clapping again. He too smiled after this. I did not know that this was all recorded on camera and on the live telecast. Oh god, hope dad will not be angry. But I can't help and be happy for him. Similarly without many hiccups Shreyas completed 150* runs with India on 225/2. After 5 over he completed his double century as well. He was in some different form today, with more than 80 strike rate. I just hope he remains not out with his highest score in a career. For this, he needs to be on the ground for more than 1 hour. But it did not matter to him, he easily scores 250 and 5 overs are remaining.

All bowlers were tired because of him. He did not spare anyone. At the end of the game, he was on 301* with India 500-3. India easily won the game with 5 wickets for J. Bumrah and Shreyas took 3 wonderful catches too. Indian Team and all Indians were happy. Everyone congratulated Shreyas for his outstanding performance. I just wanted to go there and hug him, kiss him, but somehow, I controlled myself.
