On that fateful 14th of April, as the battle between Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings raged on, Ishan Kishan found himself in the crucible of pressure. His heart raced with anticipation, knowing he needed to deliver a stellar performance after a string of lackluster matches.

Amidst the jubilation, Ishan's weakness became apparent. As he stood at the non-striker's end, his head heavy and spinning, disaster struck. He stumbled, falling into Jadeja's waiting hands, unconscious and vulnerable.

As the paramedics rushed Ishan to the dressing room for urgent care, Shubman's heart raced with panic. Hardik, already there for Ishan, stood by his side, a pillar of support in the storm. To Hardik, Ishan was more than a teammate; he was like a little brother.
As Shubman arrived, his eyes filled with tears, he spotted a man attempting to enter the dressing room. Instinctively, Hardik moved to intercept, but the man's voice halted him in his tracks.

Without hesitation, Hardik embraced Shubman, understanding the depth of his anguish. Together, they entered the dressing room, where Ishan lay, pale and still, under the doctor's careful examination.
Shubman's heart shattered at the sight of Ishan's frail form. With trembling hands, he reached out, gently kissing Ishan's knuckles, tracing the contours of his face, and tenderly caressing his cheeks. Each touch was filled with love, a silent plea for Ishan to wake up and return to them.
As the doctor continued their examination, Shubman's emotions threatened to overwhelm him. He whispered words of love and encouragement to Ishan, his voice choked with tears.
