It was the day before the finals. Ro was looking at the sea through the balcony. Vi approached him.

"Deep in thoughts like the sea " Vi sat beside Ro

"We all are like sea Vi. It seems calm outside, we never know what is going on under. "

"Like you " Vi smiled

"Tell me King, did you make up your mind " Ro turned towards Vi

"Yes Ro. I have told you. This is going to be my last. Win or lost "

"Lets not talk about it. Enjoy this moment "

They both keep looking at the sea.
Next day everyone was nervous. It is justifiable. Its the life or death game. They gathered in a huddle.

Ro - Guys I can't climb this mountain alone. If I have to reach the peak, I will need everyone's oxygen

Everyone was sensitive at that moment. Yes they will give their everything

They got some relief with Ro's toss. They never expected to fall of wicket. However pretty good score was on the board to be chased by.

It was a mess. Things changed quickly. Some had already started crying. This is our day. That's the only thing which was on Ro's mind. They got few minutes of a break after 15th over.

Akshar - I'm sorry bhai

Ro - Don't be hurry for the sorry Akshar. We can change. Drop those predictions. Even if it is one percent, it is also enough

Jassi - Bhaiya overs

Ro - Harry 17, Boom boom 18, Arsh 19. We don't have much time. No need to give penalty runs

No one was in sense to ask about last over. No one let the team down as they did the job well in those overs.

One second, ball was on the sky then it was on the hand of the sky. Last over came. Ro reached Harry.

Harry - Ro

Ro - I trust you with this. Show the world who you are

And he newer disappointed him. India lifted the T20world cup.
Too much emotions were there. Tears, hugs. Ro reached Vi.

"No Vi I cant hold back myself today " He whispered to himself and threw him towards Vi.

"We did it. We won. " Vi screamed

During the award ceremony, Vi announced his retirement form T20s. Everyone was aware of it. He made sure the players will not get too sad while preparing them for it past few days.

"You guys go to the dressing room. I will join after wrapping up the press " Ro sent them to celebrate

And he did something no one expected during the press. He also took his retirement. He hoped that players will not know about it soon. Siraj saw the news first.

Siraj - Rubbish

Rishu - Now what

Siraj - These pages are saying Ro bhai also took retirement from t20s

Jaddu - Give me the phone
He also saw that

Jassi - What is this Vi bhai. You two decided it and never told us

Vi - Hey don't drag me in to this. I said it before. Blame your bhaiya. Even I didn't know

Rahul bhai - What's the matter

Coach reached the room. Others showed the news.

Rahul bhai - He is Ro, guys. Maybe even he didn't know that he is going to retire. You don't loss your sparkles of the win. He will not like that
