Practice Nets –
Coach praises Jassi’s bowling
Coach: Excellent rhythm today, Jassi.
Ro (nodding proudly):Best bowler in the world.
The rest of the squad is collectively side-eyeing.

Team Group Chat after practice
Ishan: Someone please check if Ro bhai’s adopted Jassi officially.
Shreyas: Golden boy gets a golden towel, golden bottle, all love —what’s next? A golden room key?
Rishu: I sneezed today and Ro bhai said ‘bless you’ with side-eye. Jassi tripped and he RAN to check on him.
Rahul:I took a diving catch and Ro bhai said ‘hmm.’
Jassi tied his shoelace and Ro said ‘what dedication.’
Tilak: I tried to impress Ro bhai by diving in the field. Scraped my knee. He said, ‘be more careful next time.’
Jassi walked and he said, ‘such a graceful movement.’
Yashasvi: Guys. I gave Jassi a banana during the break. Ro bhai thanked me. I think I ranked up.

Team dinner time
Ro: Jassi, come sit next to me.
Shubman (under breath):He’s the chosen one.

Fielding drills – Ro watching from the side, arms crossed like a proud dad
Coach:Alright, let’s go boys! Show some energy!
Jassi: Takes one clean catch
Ro (clapping instantly):That’s what I’m talking about! Pure class!
Tilak: dives full length, rolls, throws direct hit
Ro: Nice, Tilak! That’s the hustle I like!
Yashasvi: catches one, then sprints to get another
Ro:Yashu’s got that spark. Love it.
Meanwhile the rest were just scowling from the side.

Rishu (catches the ball, trips, falls into a cone): I’m okay!
Ro: Why are you like this?
Ishan dives dramatically, misses the ball entirely: It’s the intention that counts, right?
Ro: No.
Shreyas yelling from across the field:
I brought protein bars for everyone!
Ro: You’re not getting to bowl over for that, buddy.

Team Chat
Rahul: If Jassi is the golden child, then Tilak and Yashu are prefects.
Rishu: What are we then?
Shubman: NPCs with emotional damage.
Ishan: I’m a recurring side character with no plot arc.
Surya: I’m just here for comic relief and trauma bonding.

Team hotel lobby – early morning.
Shreyas (yawning): Why are we alive at 6:45 am?
Rishu (grumbling): This is illegal. My soul isn't even logged in yet.
Suddenly, Ro walks in, holding two coffees. One is already labelled ‘Jassi’ with a little smiley face.
Ro: Where’s Jassi? Got your coffee, Jas.
Everyone turns slowly like it's a movie plot twist.
Jassi (walking in, freshly showered, glowing like a shampoo ad): Here, bhaiya!
He takes the cup, smiles, and they fist bump.
Everyone suddenly fully awake staring like whatttt just happened??

Practice – Jassi finishes a tight over
Ro claps loudly: Outstanding, Jassi! Love your discipline.
Rahul (in disbelief): He once told me I was ‘barely functional.’
Shreyas: I’m gonna start bowling right-handed if that gets me love.

Group Chat: 11:47 PM
Ro: Everyone sleeps on time. Morning session is at 7.
Shreyas: Sleep is for the weak.
Ro: Then be weak in nets tomorrow, see what happens.
Rishu: Sir yes sir. Respectfully logging out.
Ishan: Can I pretend to faint during warmups?
Jassi: I’ve already set 3 alarms.
Everyone: Teacher’s pet.

Yashu: All for the team, bhaiya.
Surya: Gave my 110%.
Jassi: Just following your lead, Ro bhai.
