The girls were back to Delhi, at their Academy and were hoping for a positive change in the team. Mahi Bhai was sitting and padding up for the practice session with the girls when Drishti walked up to him. "Kya baat hain Kharbanda?"he asked and she rubbed the back of her head and said,"Mahi Bhai, voh aaj Rakshabandhan hain na toh..."she kept the things she was holding, on the small table in front of him.

"Acchaaa toh rakhi baandhna hain tujhe,"Mahi Bhai said with a chuckle and she nodded eagerly and said,"maine aapko sirf guru hi nahi bade bhai ke jagah bithaya hain, bade dino ka armaan tha, please, baandh doon rakhi?"

"Acchaaa toh rakhi baandhna hain tujhe,"Mahi Bhai said with a chuckle and she nodded eagerly and said,"maine aapko sirf guru hi nahi bade bhai ke jagah bithaya hain, bade dino ka armaan tha, please, baandh doon rakhi?"

Mahi Bhai smiled calmly and gave a nod while extending his wrist and she smiled happily and gave a whistle and knelt down to perform the ritual immediately while he looked at her and chuckled. No doubt all the players were his students and he loved them all like his family, but Drishti was becoming like his kid now.

She fed him sweet and he fed her back while asking,"bol kya taufa doon tujhe?"

"Bass apna ashirwaad aur aapke jaisa behetarin Captain banne ka training,"Drishti said and giggled, making him laugh and he said,"mujhse bhi kahi zyaada behetar Captain banegi tu. Ek aur gift due raha. Chal abb practice karni hain."

"Desh ka Bhai kaisa ho? Mere Mahi Bhai jaisa ho,"Drishti sloganed and he hit her head lightly before they walked off.

He then asked Drishti to address the team before starting their final training weeks for Asia Cup, and she walked into the field as the new Captain, followed by Trishani, who stood beside her. Sonarika came and stood on her other side while Richa and the rest of the team gathered around them, except Anshika.

"Okay team, so...I just want to say that, I might not be a perfect Captain, I'll make mistakes, I'll learn from them, I'll do stupid stuffs and ask you guys to do the same at times, and say stupid things always, no doubt. But at the end of the day, I want to make a promise to you, and that is, your opinions will be heard on the field. All of yours. If you think am doing wrong somewhere, approach me and share your view or idea with me. I'll always need your support. As a Captain am nothing without you all. This is a team game and I want my team to trust me, and to trust on themselves as individual players much more. I want all of us to play becoming one soul, we have to be infernos on field. So, will I get that?"Drishti said while extending her hand towards the team and everyone gave a nod and kept their hands upon her's, one after the other.

"Jai Ho!"Drishti said loudly and the girls shouted together,"Jai Ho!"while an aeroplane flew over their head and they looked upwards, at the sky.

Hum saath jiye, har pal aise,
Lehero se leher, milti jaise,
Ho ek dagar ho apni, ek talaash
Aaj nahi toh kal hoga apna,
