In the quiet predawn hours, a gentle voice pierced through the stillness of Shubman's room, "Wake up, Shub. Come down quickly, I need to show you something." The words, soft yet urgent, beckoned him from his slumber.
Shubman groaned, the weight of exhaustion bearing down on him. His limbs felt heavy, laden with the fatigue of a grueling cricket season. He had just returned after representing India in a series of test matches against New Zealand, a series that had culminated in a disheartening sweep—all five matches conceded to the opposition. With a heavy heart, he descended the stairs, where Shahneel awaited, her eyes wide with an urgency that mirrored the tone of her voice.
She presented to him her phone, the screen displaying a post from her Instagram account. The comments section was a maelstrom of words that struck Shubman like a physical blow. At 20 years old, with the ink barely dry on his cricketing career, the vitriol of the public was a harsh welcome to a world he was only beginning to navigate. Emotions, raw and unfiltered, surged within him, and he found solace in the embrace of Keart, who whispered words of comfort, "Calm down, baccha."

Comments:
User1: If he wants to show his hopelessness, then why use the Test series? He can sit at home and do nothing.
User2: Worst U-19 player ever seen.
User3: truee
User4: Virat and MSD were better than you in the starting. Just stay at home kiddo.
User4: He is the most trolled cricketer now in India. Just check the other pages.
