Champions Trophy Final, 2017, England
"FUCK" Virat shouted as soon as he entered the dressing room. He threw his bat across the room. He was so angry, so fucking angry.
They're playing the Champions Trophy finals against Pakistan and he got out on just five runs. He was the captain, he was supposed to stay there. How could he be this stupid. All these thoughts were swarming around his mind when another wicket fell.
It was Yuvi that got out and by that newbie Shadab, who also took his catch. How can a rookie like him catch the ball in such a difficult position?
The hopes rose again when Hardik smashed Pakistani bowlers especially Shadab Khan as Virat got to know even though he was the only one in his mind right now.
Even after Hardik's masterclass India ended up losing the match, making Pakistan champions. After the presentations. Virat was going towards the dressing room. He was sad and angry, at the team and more than anything on himself. He was lost in his thoughts that he didn't see where he was going and crashed into someone. He lost his balance and fell on the ground.
"Sorry. Didn't see you there." Virat looked up at the voice and his blood boiled seeing Shadab standing there.
"Fuck Off" Virat said and started walking away. Shadab didn't understand what happened but he was angry. Why did Virat abuse him? He didn't do anything wrong
"Why are you abusing me?" Shadab shouted at Virat's retreating figure.
Virat turned around with a scowl on his face. He stormed towards Shadab and cornered him with the wall.
"Get Lost. I don't want to see your face." Virat pulled Shadab by his collar. Virat turned around once again.
"Oh so the great Virat Kohli's ego is hurt." Shadab said with a smirk on his face.
"Why would my ego be hurt?" Virat questioned.
"Because you lost the match, lost to Pakistan. And was dismissed at mere five runs. Caught by a rookie.Quite a captain, I must say." Shadab taunted once again.
"SHUT THE FUCK UP." Virat said and pulled Shadab by his collar once again. He raised his hand as if to punch Shadab.
"I won't do that if I were you as the place is surrounded by cameras." Shadab said with a teasing smile on his face. Virat looked around himself and saw cameras in the surroundings. He controlled himself and turned towards Shadab.
"I hate you Shadab Khan"
T20i World Cup, 2021, Dubai
The most awaited match of the tournament, India vs Pakistan. Virat left the dressing room going towards the field when someone slammed into him. He looked back to see the person he hated the most and somehow can't get out of his mind too.
"I'm so sorry." Shadab was laughing but his mood was depleted as soon as he saw the look on Virat's face.
"Can't you see while walking." Virat said with a scowl on his face. Not wanting to spoil his mood before an important match. Virat turned around and started walking towards the exit.
"WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM?" Shadab shouted. He was sick of this behavior. He didn't do anything wrong to deserve this kind of treatment.
"What's my problem? I will tell you my problem." Virat stormed towards Shadab. He held Shadab's hand and pulled him inside the empty dressing room.
