Sameer

Caps and Saurabh opened the innings but saurabh got out at the end of the 5th over. And it was my turn to go onto the field . The score for 67-0.

I was Nervous as hell. I was physically ready to go , but not mentally.

I walked out onto the field, with everyone cheering me up , even though i hadn't done much in the last few matches. I smiled at the crowd as i looked around the stadium and then went in to bat.

It was time for the first ball , and I felt a tightness in my chest , as if I were about to faint. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.

The First ball struck my bat, and I thought I was going to get out as it nearly landed in the fielder's hands. I closed my eyes and suddenly I heard the crowd erupt in cheers. I opened my eyes- it was a SIX!

I hit a SIX on the first ball! I was shocked!

Ishanvi

And then he turned around. The Face , The Voice , The Smile , HIM!

It was really HIM!!!

I was shocked and cupped my hands over my mouth. My sister noticed.

Ishanvi - Ohh Shitttt!! [ I exclaimed]

Shruti - What's wrong? Saurabh got out 5 minutes ago and now you're whining? You really haven't changed since childhood. Such a Tubelight you are!

Ishanvi - My Childhood Best Friend! [ I said in a shocked ,whining voice]

Shruti - Your what?[ she said getting shocked]

Ishanvi - Ahhh! Yes , it is HIM!!

Shruti - OMG!!! Sameer Kalra is your best friend? That is soo cool!! I can finally get photograph with a cricketer now! [ She said excitedly] Let me call him out!

Shruti - Sameer!! Ishanvi is he-

Ishanvi - Shhhhhhhh!! [ I placed my hand over her mouth, making her sit]

Shruti - What the hell?

Ishanvi - Just Shut Up and continue watching the match [ I said with a slight smile on my face]

Shruti - Hmmm! Are you smiling?

Ishanvi - Ohh, of course not!![ I said hiding my smile]

Shruti - Is he the one who had a crush on you , when you were 13??

Ishanvi - What?? Oh, yes! It is him. [ I said while looking at him]

Shruti - Woww!! Reunion , huh??

Ishanvi - Ahhh!! Stop it!![I made a face]

It was time for his first ball. I don't why , but suddenly, i became restless and sat up straight.

The first ball was hit for a six!

I stood up and shouted as loudly as i could.

Ishanvi - Yayyyyy!!! Go Sameer!!!

Shruti - Ahem! Ahem! [ Pretending to cough]

I didn't hear her . He was playing so well , i couldn't understand how his team hadn't won a single match this season.
