As Ishan watched the highlights of the match, a mix of emotions flooded his mind. Despite the loss in the first three matches, he felt proud of his own performance as the highest scorer for the team. The sight of him catching out Virat Kohli brought a genuine smile to his face, reliving the thrilling moments of the game. When he stumbled upon a post of him and Virat sharing a light moment, Ishan couldn't help but smile genuinely at the camaraderie they shared.
In a flashback, Ishan found himself preparing for another match, nerves tingling in anticipation. As he geared up for wicket-keeping duty, he exchanged friendly banter with Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis, the opposing team's openers.
"Kaise hai chotu," Virat's voice broke through, accompanied by a soft smile as he greeted Ishan.
"Bhaiya, mein chotu nahi huin," Ishan playfully retorted, feeling the warmth of their camaraderie.
"Mujhe nahi pata, tu mere liye chotu hai aur kuch nahi," Virat replied with a fondness that melted Ishan's heart.
Their banter continued as Ishan inquired about Anushka Sharma and Virat's daughter, their conversation drifting to personal matters amidst the tension of the match.
"Tum sab mere bacho bigaad te ho, gifts laake," Virat quipped, teasingly.
"Bache iss Umar bigade toh kab karenge," ishan responded with a laugh, their bond evident in their playful exchange.
Back in the present, Ishan chuckled at the memory, appreciating the warmth and camaraderie of the cricket fraternity. He glanced at his teammate Hardik Pandya, whose protective nature always made Ishan feel cherished and safe. The bond he shared with the Pandya family held a special place in his heart, adding to his sense of belonging within the team.
As Ishan pondered over the points table, noticing the close rankings of GT and MI, he marveled at the coincidence of their identical scores. Before he could dwell further on the match statistics, his train of thought was interrupted by a video call from Shubman, his heart skipping a beat at the sight of his beloved's name flashing on the screen.
Ishan's face lit up with a radiant smile as he accepted the incoming video call, his heart skipping a beat at the sight of Shubman's familiar face.
"Congratulations, Mera Pocket Dynamo! You smashed a hundred sixes in the IPL and those 69 runs off 23 balls were just phenomenal!" Shubman's excitement was palpable, his dimples deepening as he spoke.
"Thanks, Meri Jaan," Ishan replied, his own excitement mirrored in his voice. "Ab dekh, humari team sab ke liye tough competition hai."
"Hmm," Shubman nodded in agreement. Then, his tone softened as he continued, "Kal kitna pressure tha, pata hai? Meri team ke liye..."
"I can imagine. Aise hi, I remember those U19 and Jharkhand team days," Ishan said, his gaze turning thoughtful as he recalled the late-night call from Shubman, the tears and the worries that had plagued his beloved. Despite the ache in his heart at seeing Shubman upset, Ishan was grateful that today, his Jaan seemed happy.
"Ishu, back to earth," Shubman's gentle reminder brought Ishan back to the present, his eyes meeting Shubman's with a silent understanding.
"Han, han, bol," Ishan replied softly, his heart overflowing with love for the man on the screen before him.
As they continued their conversation, Ishan and Shubman exchanged words of love and encouragement, their bond growing stronger with each passing moment. Ishan couldn't help but smile at Shubman's laughter, his heart swelling with affection for his Jaan.
"And did you see that interview with Virat?" Shubman chuckled, his eyes twinkling with amusement. "Calling us the Seeta and Geeta of the team... little does he know!"
Ishan joined in Shubman's laughter, feeling a warmth spread through him at the shared joke. "Yeah, who would've thought we'd be the team's dynamic duo?"
Their laughter echoed through the room, filling the air with joy and camaraderie. In that moment, despite the distance between them, Ishan felt closer to Shubman than ever before.
As they talked late into the night, their conversation filled with love and laughter, Ishan couldn't help but feel grateful for Shubman's presence in his life. Together, they were unstoppable, a force to be reckoned with both on and off the field.
With a soft smile and a shared gaze filled with affection, Ishan and Shubman spoke in unison, their voices blending seamlessly.
"I love you, Meri Jaan," Ishan whispered.
"I love you too, Bihari Babu," Shubman replied, his voice filled with tenderness.
With those three simple words, their connection felt stronger than ever. They lingered in the moment, cherishing each other's presence even through the screen.
As they ended the call, the warmth of their love lingered, wrapping around them like a comforting embrace. In each other's hearts, they found solace and strength, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.
