ICT ONE SHOT

Wild Cat (Angad and ICT)

Note- It's basically Anagad with jassi, Rohit, virat, Rahul bhai but mostly hardik (couldn't mention so many names in title so I wrote ICT)

Team India was buzzing with excitement as they clinched the World Cup T20i 2024 title. The stadium roared with chants and cheers, everyone present their celebrated the victory like no tomorrow.

They deserved it anyway, the team, the fans, everyone had waited for years, it was like a festival for them, for everyone.

Everyone had their eyes moist, they had it last year too after the finals but this time it was different, then it was sadness, something deeper than sadness but this time it was happiness something huge then happiness and no one can describe what they felt that moment, everyone busy living IN the moment.

After the celebrations and a day of rest, the team packed up and headed for the airport. Their next stop was Delhi, where they were scheduled to meet the Prime Minister. The journey from the West Indies to Delhi was long, the hurricane and delay adding it up but their excitement and energy was never ending.

Sanjana cradled Angad, who was starting to get restless. The constant travel and change of environment were overwhelming for the little one. Angad began to fuss and whimper, his cries growing louder despite Sanjana's best efforts to soothe him.

Upon arrival in Delhi, the team was greeted with a grand reception. They were taken to the Prime Minister's residence, where they were congratulated and praised for their remarkable performance. However, amidst the celebrations, Angad's cries were becoming more frequent and louder. She somehow managed to calm him down enough to get through the meeting.

They reached Delhi airport to get their flight to Mumbai but when angad saw the similar surroundings his lips wobbled and she knew the little one is hating the travelling thing.

He started crying loudly and all her tries to calm him down went in wail. She walked towards jassi "I guess he is tired by all the travelling" she said handing the kid to him who latched himself around his neck with his little hands still crying.

Jassi tried his best to soothe his son. He gently rocked him and whispered comforting words, but Angad's cries only grew louder. By now the situation had caught the attention of the entire team.

Virat tried to take the kid in his arms only to immediately pull back when the kid wailed louder, jaddu snickered and rohit almost burst out laughing "Did you just got rejected by a kid?" Rohit teased while everyone tried to hold back their laugh, the juniors not wanting to get the glare Rohit was getting.

"You try" virat said taking a step back gesturing Rohit to come forward, he came with full confidence and tried to take the little one in his arms but got the same reaction, few started coughing to hide their laughter, well few except jaddu and virat, Rohit looked at them annoyed almost plotting a murder in his mind but they had more important work in their hand.

Everyone tried their hand at calming him down, they made funny faces, cooed, and tried to distract him with their playful antics, but to no avail. The baby continued to cry, his face red with frustration.

Rahul Dravid, the ever-calm coach, their rahul bhai, who was on call with bcci came back to see team members dancing like monkeys, that's the best description he can think of.

"What's happening here?" he asked starleting everyone, "Is he okay?" he asked in a much gentle tone stepping towards jassi the kid in his arms still crying.

"Travelling affect I guess" jassi said trying to lure him with chocolate but the kid threw it away, now that was concerning, everyone knew how well behaved kid he is even though he is small but he is still mature then few of them, that's what rahul bhai always said.
