(A/N: Okay, so guys, I know KKR won against RCB twice, but let's just go with the flow.)

Shubman's POV-

"Guys! Tomorrow is our match against RCB! And we need to win to take a lead in the series. They've already won the first match against us. So yes, we need to win this, cool?" Our captain, Dinesh Karthik said.

All of us howled after a few "Yes!" and "Let's go!"

"And Shubman, we need a half century tomorrow." He winked at me. I chuckled at him, and said, "Will try my best."

He has got a fair point there. It's my first IPL and what's better than getting the orange cap?

Shubman Gill, hopefully we'll see your first IPL fifty tomorrow.

- Next Day -

"KKR won the toss and chose to field." The commentator spoke.

"It's going to be an interesting match. Both KKR and RCB are strong teams. If RCB has Virat Kohli, then KKR has the under 19 youngster, Shubman Gill. The RCB boys have already won a match against KKR though." Another commentator spoke.

"Look at the KKR boys, they are all ready." One of them spoke as we entered the ground.

"The RCB batsmen are all ready as well to take over the KKR bowlers." He said, as the batsmen from RCB made their way over to the pitch.

"And here's the first ball of the match." He spoke as the first ball was bowled.

The first ball went for a six.

The whole stadium started chanting, "Aaaaar Ceeee Beeeee!"

Advantages of playing in the home ground.

**

Soon enough we took the first wicket.

RCB were 75-1.

Virat Kohli came in to bat.

"Go Virat!" We heard some girl scream.

I couldn't help myself but chuckle at that.

The whole nation- strike that out- the whole world is crazy for this man. I'm sure some girls watch cricket only because of him and for him.

The girl who screamed was shown on the big screen.

When she realised she was up there, she quickly hid her face and turned around causing the whole stadium to laugh at her reaction.

That was cute of her.

"I'm sure she's here for Virat." The commentator said.

"Yes!" She shouted.

The big screen showed her again, and this time she face palmed herself and hid her face in her palms. Virat bhai was laughing as well.

The first ball was bowled to Virat Kohli and he smashed it for a six!

That's Virat Kohli, ladies and gentlemen.

**

Our bowling was too poor. They often bowled a wide or a no ball. The next ball was bowled and Virat hit it for a full toss six.

What does this guy eat?

Virat hit another six making the crowd go wild.

The inning was finally over, with RCB scoring 195 for the loss of just 2 wickets. Virat and AB's partnership contributed the most.

I noticed the same girl who was shown on the big screen while I was making my way back to the dressing room.

I saw her on the stands, laughing with her friends. I walked to the dressing room with my team mates, still looking at her.

I was mesmerised by her. It was some kind of attraction.

She was wearing her RCB jersey which had '18' and 'VIRAT' below it.

She suddenly turned to look at me, and I ran to the dressing room. Why did you run Shubman? You could've atleast waved at her!

Nevermind, it's not like you'd see her again after this match.

I padded myself up and got ready to go to the ground and get victory runs for my team.

Come on, Shubman. You can do it.
