The locker room burst into laughter, teasing them as the two young players embraced.

shubman : yeh sab sochna normal hai. Pressure sab pe hota hai. Par tune jo kiya hai na aaj, woh proof hai ki tu deserve karta hai. Log kya bolte hain, uski tension mat le. Bas khud ko yaad dila ki tu kyun khelta hai.
