Shubman had to leave for Ahmedabad for the upcoming IPL season. Last year, his team, Gujarat Titans (GT), had clinched the title, and he was eager to defend their championship. As he was packing his bags, his phone buzzed with a message from Sara.

Curious, Shubman picked up his phone and opened the message. It read:

Hey Shubman, just wanted to wish you all the best for the IPL. I know you'll do great! Keep your head up and stay focused. 😊

A warm smile spread across his face as he read her words of encouragement. He quickly typed a response:

Thanks, Sara! That means a lot. Hope to see you at one of the matches. Take care!

With renewed energy, Shubman continued packing his cricket gear, feeling more motivated than ever. He packed his lucky bat, his favorite gloves, and a few personal items that always brought him comfort during the long weeks of the tournament. Shahneel knocked on his door and peeked in.

"Hey, all set for Ahmedabad?" she asked, leaning against the doorframe.

"Almost," Shubman replied, zipping up his bag. "Just got a good luck message from Sara."

Shahneel raised an eyebrow and smiled knowingly. "Looks like someone has a special supporter."

Shubman chuckled and said, "Just a friend who's looking out for me."

They shared a laugh, and Shahneel helped him with the final touches. Before long, it was time to head to the airport. Shahneel drove him there, and they chatted about their favorite moments from the previous season and their hopes for the upcoming matches.

At the airport, they hugged goodbye. "Play your best, and make us proud," Shahneel said, her voice filled with pride.

"I will," Shubman promised, giving her a final wave before heading inside.

As he boarded the plane, he couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement. The upcoming IPL season was not just a chance to prove himself on the field but also an opportunity to create more unforgettable memories. With Sara's encouraging message and his family's unwavering support, he felt ready to take on any challenge that came his way.

Shubman settled into his seat on the plane, his mind buzzing with thoughts of the upcoming IPL season. The flight to Ahmedabad felt both long and short, filled with a mixture of anticipation and excitement. As the plane began its descent, he looked out of the window, taking in the sprawling city below. Ahmedabad had become a second home to him, and he was eager to get back into the rhythm of training and matches.

After landing, Shubman grabbed his luggage and headed towards the exit. He was surprised to see a familiar face waiting for him amid the bustling crowd. Sara stood there, smiling brightly, holding a small sign that read, "Welcome back, Champ!"

"Sara?" Shubman exclaimed, his eyes widening in surprise and delight. "What are you doing here?"

"I thought I'd surprise you," Sara said, her eyes twinkling with mischief. "Figured you could use some moral support right from the start."
