When MSD of 2005 meets KOHLI from 2022

Long Haired Mahi Bhai

Virat was restless. Just yesterday, a mysterious red haired fan had gifted him this obnoxious looking thing, which she called a 'Chronos'. It looked something like a wristband, tho it was metallic. She had told him that she came from the future and it was her special gift for him, he must try wearing it once.

Virat wore it and stared at it for 2 long minutes. Nothing happened, Virat thought, before he looked at 2 small buttons on the bottom. He pressed one apprhensively, some time frames appeared on the band. Virat moved his finger on the band, once he tapped it, he felt his head reeling.

2 minutes later, when he stabilised, he found himself in a completely different room. It didn't look like his hotel room, at all, rather... it looked like the dressing room, but not theirs, luckily it was empty. It was a very old styled room, with walls cramped and the old-styled television set. On the table, a mobile phone was kept, it was an old feature phone. He went to the table and looked at the phone closely, it was some old model of Motorolla.

Suddenly, he heard some footsteps coming towards the room. He hurriedly hid himself behind a wall, it looked like the man had come to pick his phone, for now he could only see his hair, they were brown-orange hair, same like Mahi bhai used to have, he thought.

Suddenly his eyes fell on the calender hanging on the wall, July 2005, it read. Virat gasped, the long haired man could really be his Mahi bhai. He peeped in to see the man again, this time he could see clearly, WOW, MAHI BHAI, FOR REAL, HE LOOKS SO YOUNG, Virat jumped in joy.

MS moved his eyes around, he had heard some sound, if someone was there, but who could it be? The team had already left for the hotel. He moved towards the source of sound but was suddenly engulfed in a bear hug. MS was startled. He tried to pull himself away but virat's grip was firm.

Virat squealed in joy. "I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M MEETING YOU, IT LOOKS LIKE A DREAM OH MY GOD, BADE BAAL WALE MAHI BHAIII"

Virat was shouting excitedly, still holding MS tight. MS looked confused, who was this man who barged into their dressing room, he didnt look like someone from the ground staff, he looked filthy rich, looking at his clothes and he had the audacity to jump on him like that? And why the hell was he calling him mahi BHAI, he looked some 8-10 years older than him.

MS separated him from the hug forcefully and looked at him straight in the eye "Kaun hain aap? "

Virat looked at him disbelievingly for once, WHO WAS HE?

WHO WAS HEEE? Was Mahi bhai asking him this??

Virat composed himself to give him a sensible answer, but MS spoke again "Kyu chhup rahe the idhar?Aur is tarah koodne ka kya matlab hota hai? Kaun ho tum? Should I call the security? "

Virat felt like facepalming, Mahi bhai is scolding him in 2005 also, irony was that he is older than Mahi bhai here but some things never change, Virat smiled.

"Oh bhaisaab? Kaha kho gaye? Batayenge kaun hain? " MS spoke bringing Virat out of his thoughts.

"I - er- I am -" Virat scratched the back of his head, it was difficult introducing himself like this now "I am your future teammate " Virat finally spoke a full sentence.

MS stared at him, the guy looked like in his thirties already, there was a slim chance he could get into the team even if he worked very hard, then he looked at him and spoke in a calmer tone "Sure, I will look forward to see you in our team but what are you doing here, in our dressing room, right now? Did you dodge the security to come here? "

Virat- "This is a long story, but short mein batata hoon, My name is Virat Kohli. I. Came. From. The. Future. 2022 precisely. I am a member of Indian team since.... yeah 14 years, so I debuted in 2008, I was 20 then, so you can guess I'm 34 now"
