As Shubman returned to India, the familiar cricketing rhythm awaited, pulling him back into the world of pitches and practice sessions. The first day back, he joined the practice session, where his friends Virat, Ishan, KL Rahul, and Hardik were already waiting.
Virat, with a mischievous grin, called out, "Look who's back from the Hollywood hills! Shubman, our very own star!"
Ishan joined in, "Did you bring some Hollywood vibes with you, Shubman? Maybe teach us how to groove like they do in LA?"
Shubman laughed, "You guys are relentless. It was just a party, not a movie shoot."
KL Rahul added, "But did you get any autographs from Taylor Swift? Maybe she wants to collaborate on a cricket-themed song."
Hardik, with a playful smirk, said, "I can already imagine it: 'Batting in the Moonlight' featuring Shubman Gill!"
Shubman, shaking his head, replied, "You guys are impossible. Hollywood is not all it's cracked up to be."
Virat, clapping him on the back, teased, "Oh, we know. But it's more fun to imagine you rubbing shoulders with the stars."
As the banter continued, they moved on to the serious business of cricket practice. Shubman, with his focus back on the game, tried to shake off the playful teasing.
During a break, Virat walked up to Shubman, a smile playing on his face. "So, any Hollywood secrets you want to share, or are they all locked up in the LA vault?"
Shubman chuckled, "Just the usual celebrity gossip. You know, world domination plans and all."
Ishan, overhearing, interjected, "World domination? Sounds serious. Maybe we need to keep an eye on this Hollywood Gill."
The banter continued throughout the practice session, each comment adding to the camaraderie among the players. Shubman, despite the teasing, couldn't help but appreciate the familiarity of the cricket field and the bonds he shared with his teammates.
The practice sessions intensified as the team geared up for the upcoming matches. Shubman, despite the initial teasing, found himself back in the groove, facing deliveries, honing his skills, and contributing to the overall preparation.
One day, after a particularly rigorous practice session, Shubman sat down with Virat, Ishan, KL Rahul, and Hardik in the dressing room. The banter took a more serious turn as they discussed strategies and analyzed their upcoming opponents.
