Next morning (it's 8th September) 🌅

Mahi and yuvi are lounging around...Sachin pa is reading a newspaper....jammy Bhai is on his laptop...and dada is pacing around...making sure everything is in order for their upcoming travel...

Mahi is sitting on the bed... tossing a cricket ball in the air...while yuvi is scrolling through his phone...

Yuvi : (yawning) can't believe we are flying out tomorrow....

Mahi : yeah...(catching the ball) waqt aacha ho toh waqt guzar ne mein waqt nhi lagta...time flies..yuvi...and can't wait to get back on the field 😇

Yuvi :....lekin dada nhi aane wale hamare saath 🥲

Mahi : (nodding) ha... it's going to be strange.....

Dada : (light-hearted) you know na...I have got some important work and meetings to attend....but don't worry I will be with you in spirit...

Yuvi : (grinning) spirit...?! That's not enough...dada !

Mahi : (laughing) yeahh...yuvi ko prank karne se kon rokega ?!

Dada : Sachin and jammy will handle it 😊

Sachin & jammy : we will... don't worry dadi....

Yuvi : (grinning) yeahh...but right now...we have got to deal with dada's briefing....you no naa...he is going to go over everything a hundred times before we leave....

Mahi (laughing) : that's dada...yuvi...we wouldn't be here if he was not

Dada still pacing...looks up and smiles at the comment...

Dada : (mock stern) tum logo ko yeh funny lag raha hai...huh..?! You are about to play in the T20 world cup....every detail matters...

Sachin pa : (calmly) he is right... it's not just about what happens on the field....but off it too..

Jammy Bhai : (not looking up from his laptop) exactly... that's why we are going over strategies again before we head to durban..

Yuvi : (groaning) not again....! Come on...jammy Bhai ....we know the drill..

Mahi : (smirking) you mean you are tired of pretending to listen while actually thinking about what you are going to eat for dinner...?!

Yuvi : (grinning) but seriously....I am ready to hit the ground...bring on the Scots...

Dada : (nodding) confidence is good..yuvi.... overconfidence can be dangerous...

Mahi : (mock serious) yes...we will keep our head cool..

Sachin pa : (smiling) you know....hum retired ho gaye hai T20 format se....lekin fir bhi hum team ka part hai...jammy and I be there in the stands... cheering you on...

Mahi : (grateful) it means a lot to have you both there with us..Sachin pa..

Jammy Bhai : yeah...tum logo ne uss naye ladke k bare mein suna...woh hame durban mein 10th ko join karega

Yuvi : (raising his eyebrows) oh...that new kid...woh kaisa hai ?

Jammy Bhai : (still focused on his laptop) he is talented....usska domestic record bohot aacha hai...

Mahi : (nodding) haa..Maine kuch innings dekhe...usska batting...with calm head...could be a good addition to the team...

Yuvi : (grinning mischievously) calm..you say..? Let's see how calm he is after a week with us..
