Devisha, sitting at the edge of the table, watched the interactions with a warm smile. She appreciated the authenticity of each player and the unique dynamics that made the Indian cricket team more than just a group of athletes. They were family, bound by a shared passion for the sport and an unbreakable bond of friendship. 

After a hearty meal at the dhaba, the team embarked on the next leg of their Lonavala adventure, determined to explore the best the town had to offer. The excitement bubbled within them.

"Alright, lads, time to burn off those calories. Next stop, Tiger Point!" announced Rohit, his eyes gleaming with the thrill of exploration.

"Tiger Point? Ro, why not something less intimidating? Like, maybe, Kiddy Corner?" Virat teased.

"Says the one who wanted to drink alcohol during lunch," speaks Rahul teaming up with Rohit.

"Alright, everyone, behold! Tiger Point, the place where tigers come to take their vacation" Rohit says as he tears the list he had made. 

"Do they get a discount if they show their stripes?" Jassi inquired, prompting laughter from the entire group. Rohit, fully embracing the role of a local, joined in the merriment as they ventured forth to Tiger Point.

As they enjoyed the breathtaking view, Shreyas couldn't help but express his amazement. "Wow, Rohit bhai, you really know how to pick a spot!"

"I have my moments," Rohit replied with a smirk. "Now, let's enjoy this view before someone suggests we bungee jump off the cliffs."

"Virat bhai, I can totally see you suggesting that," Hardik says as he smirks at Virat bhai.

"Come on, I am not that adventurous. But, maybe a friendly race to the bottom" Virat suggests being the athletic one.

"Virat, No"

"Moi, come on. We are here to have fun. Do not kill the mood. Shubi? Do you want to join? Whoever wins is the better flirt." 

"Bhai-" Shubman says as he can't resist Virat Bhai's request.

"I'm nothing compared to you, I remember that day on the flight with-" Shubman gets interrupted as Ishan comes running to him to shut his mouth.

"Are you stupid or blind? Anushka bhabi is right here. You dumbo" Ishan whispers and hit Shubman at the back of his head.

"What happened that day vi?" Anushka asks curiously with a glare.

Virat, with a sly smile, responds, "Oh, just a friendly debate about who the better charmer is. Nothing serious, I promise. You're always the love of my life." 

"Shub, let's talk later. I have something to tell you" Virat says with the sweetest smile, A bittersweet one.

Shreyas, catching on to the playful banter, adds, "Yeah, just a typical day in the life of the Men in Blue. But back to the race, are we doing this or not?"

"I'm not in." 

"I'm in"

"As this is a democratic country, We'll go for the majority." Kuldeep strikes his opinion and raises his hand to join the marathon.

The decision was made, and the race was on. The team gathered at the starting point, overlooking the scenic Tiger Point.

"On your mark, get set, go!" Virat shouted, and off they went, sprinting down the sloping terrain. The atmosphere was filled with cheers, laughter, and the sound of running footsteps.

As they reached the bottom, panting but exhilarated, Virat declared, "Well, that settles it. I am the better flirt, as expected."

Shubman, still catching his breath, retorted, "You got lucky this time, Virat bhai. Next time, I'll show you who the real charmer is."
