BROTHERLY BOND
__________________

The sun was setting over the cricket ground.

Shubman Gill, fondly known as Shubi, sat on a bench near the practice nets.

His bat lay beside him, untouched.

His head was bowed, and his shoulders slumped.

The once-confident young cricketer now looked like a lost boy...

His recent performances had been far from his usual standards.

Every time he walked out to bat, the weight of expectations felt heavier than his cricket kit.

Other reasons was the double faced fans...does shouts, troll, make memes and many try to motivate him by something haven't real.. That  was  one of the reason of his irritation tion and annoyance at stadium.

India was chasing a moderate target, and everyone had high hopes for the young, talented opener. The chants of

"Shub-man! Shub-man!"

The first ball was a perfect outswinger.

Shubi reached for it , and the edge flew straight to the slips. The fielder didn’t fumble.

The crowd gasped in disappointment, and within seconds, the stadium erupted into boos.

Shubman stood frozen at the crease for a moment, unable to believe what had just happened.

He glanced at the scoreboard—0(1). Another duck. Another failure.

As he walked back to the pavilion, head bowed, the boos stung more.

"Shubman, retire kar ja!"
"Yeh toh overhyped hai!"
"don't deserve this place!"

Later that night, Shubman sat on his hotel balcony, the city lights twinkling in the distance.

He closed his eyes and whispered to himself:

"Shubman, tu kya kar raha hai? Kya sach mein tu itna bura hai jitna log bol rahe hain? Tera time khatam ho gaya kya?"

He paused, his hands gripping the chair tightly.

"Nahi! Aisa nahi ho sakta. Tujh mein talent hai, tu ne itni baar prove kiya hai. Ek match ke wajah se kuch nahi badlta. Par kyun lagta hai ki main bas fail hi kar raha hoon?"

"Tu Virat bhaiya aur Rohit bhaiya ka example yaad kar. Unhone kitne struggles face kiye, fir bhi wahi hai jo sabko inspire karte hain. Tujhe unka saath mila hai, aur tu unhe disappoint nahi kar sakta. Par kaise karunga ye sab theek?"

And today, after yet another disappointing innings in the nets, he couldn’t hold back his emotions.

Rohit Sharma, the captain, noticed Shubman from a distance.

He was about to leave for the dressing room when he stopped and turned to Virat Kohli, who was tying his shoelaces nearby.

Rohit : Virat, dekh zara, lagta hai Shubi ko kuch problem hai kya?

Virat stand up, and look at Shubman.

Virat : haa bhout din se sahi se kha bhi nhi raha.

Rohit : chal dekhte hai ek baar.

The two senior players reached Shubi, who didn’t even notice them approaching.

Rohit : Arre, Shubi! Kya hua? Aise kyun baitha hai?

Rohit asked, placing a hand on Shubi’s shoulder.

Shubi looked up, his eyes red and brimming with unshed tears.
