Till afternoon almost every teammate join them (mahi, yuvi, rahul bhai, sachin pa) in the hotel.... except the new player
Mahi, Yuvi, Jammy bhai and Sachin pa are lounging in Mahi and Yuvi's room... discussing some serious topics...
The rest of the team is in their respective rooms, resting after the long journey....
Yuvi : (grinning) Pa, aapko woh match yaad hai pakistan ke khilaaf ? Aap aur jammy bhai ne milke almost saab ko heart attack he de diya tha woh singles se...
Sachin Pa : (laughing) aarey , woh saab calculated singles the... Yuvi...tum young generation-art of building innings slowly ko kabhi appreciate nhi karoge
Yuvi : (teasing) yeah.... calculated...usse zyada toh yeh lag raha tha ki aap log wait kar rahe the k bowler bowling karne se tired ho jaye 😂
Jammy bhai : (chuckling) you kiddos....hamare time mein patience he saab kuch tha...aabhi toh all about hitting sixes...
Mahi : (with a smirk) kuch cheeze kabhi nhi badalti, bhai ....yaha yuvi aabhi bhi yahi sochta hai k six is the solution to everything
Yuvi throws a cushion at mahi, but it's all in good fun...the banter continues....
Mahi : aap logo ko yaad hai...last time...jaab yuvi tried to bowl in the nets ?!
Yuvi : (rising his eyebrows) careful..mahi...aabhi tumne mere kuch deliveries dekhi nhi hai...tum woh deliveries face karna nhi chahoge
Sachin pa : (grinning, to rahul bhai) yeh haar saal yhi bolta hai...aabhi bhi ussne 130 km/h hit nhi kiya
Jammy bhai : (nodding, deadpan) maybe woh usse right moment ke liye save kar raha hai...as 'secret weapon'
Yuvi : (grinning) exactly....aabhi mujhe kuch swings ke tricks aa gaye hai....thanks to all that backyard bowling with the kids...
Mahi : (mock serious) ah...ha..the mighty yuvi swing...terrifies even the neighborhood kids...i am sure
Yuvi shaking his head but smiling, knowing he's been bested for now and everyone laughs
The conversation shifts to old matches and shared memories...
Mahi : (teasing) Pa, swing ki baat kar rahe hai toh...aapko yaad hai match England ke khilaaf jaab jammy bhai aapne rhythm...aapne form mein nhi the...?! Aap unko practically guide kar rahe the non-striker end se...
Sachin pa : (laughing) aarey...woh yaad maat dilao...mai usko over ke bech mein chila raha tha...'jammy, just play straight, yaar!' and what he did...
Jammy bhai : (smiling, shaking his head) haa...sachin uss time pe waha coach ka role play kar raha tha...mai usski aankhein mujhpe feel kar raha tha...mai saab khel du lekin straight drive..
Mahi : (leaning forward) i think pa ke words bohot powerful hai dusre coaches k compare mein...aapne suna k pa ne kaha 'play straight' and suddenly aapke bat ne sun liya...
Sachin pa : (pretending to be modest) it's not me.... it's the bat...magic bat, maybe...
Everyone laughs again...
Yuvi : (stretching) you know...mai uss magic ko aapne fielding mein use kar sakhta hu... every time i dive... something cracks..
Mahi : (smirking) that's age , yuvi.....better accept it
Yuvi : (mock offended) excuse me....just ask any bowler jisne usski ball ko dekha hai stands mein jaate hue
Sachin pa : (grinning) or ask physio who's had to fix you up after every match
