His Girl Who Left Everything Behind

classico

The feroz shah kotla stadium was filled to brim, there were more than 45 thousand people present in the stadium at that time & the match haven't even started yet. You could feel in the air that their was something special about this match. Well, obviously it was special as it was the first official mixed cricket team match ever happening in the history. Both the Indians & Aussies were proud that they were the first taking their chances in this style of the game & by the number of people present in the stadium, it was quite obvious that this match was going to be a Blockbuster. Well, even if the players didn't play that well the board is going to have a huge profit because of the number of people present in the stadium. The crowd has settled down with various props to cheer for their respective teams. The environment of the stadium was energetic & cheerfull while the environment of the dressing room was it's exact opposite the room was reeking of nervousness & anxiety.

Indian dressing room

All the players were sitting on their respective benches in the dressing room. The guys were doing there prematch relaxation therapy like listening to some soothing songs or patriotic songs or whatever they felt like, while some of them were just sitting with close eyes as if mediating while the two girls who were selected to play today being Akansha & Amrita were anything but relaxed, they knew the importance of this seemingly unimportant T20 match in their careers, yeah, they were famous, they have fan following but in front of the fan following of the guys sitting in front of them there fan following was nothing & if they did any mistake today, if they failed there won't be any second chance for them, they would be mercilessly trolled on Twitter by people who dont have any F**king idea about them, yeah, so they were tensed.

Mahi : relax girls, we won't eat you guys if you failed to do your best today

Amrita : you won't Bhai but the people will

Virat : don't pay any mind to them, let's just enjoy the game & I'm sure the board will also don't care. So, as you know we have won the toss & chose to field first as decided, so guys & gals you know what to do, we are the best team here & we can do whatever we want, play however you like no pressure, play your natural game ok.

Akansha pov

That was our Captain's speech before match, so the playing XI of our team were Ro, Sikh, Virat, me, jinx, Mani Bhai, Hardik, bhuvi, jadeja, Amrita, Ashwin & bumrah. Our team was quite strong & have a great combination of batsmen & bowlers. But still I could feel my heart hammering inside my ribcage as we started spilling out of the dressing room & into the ground. The crowd was going crazy & I could practically not hear my own name even if Ro called me who was just standing beside me, the crowd was so loud & I couldn't help but grin like crazy. In the field after national anthem, we formed a circle around each other, our hands resting on each other's back as virat once again inspired us with his words & repeated the game plan, while ro & Sikh cracked some jokes making each of us grin. We broke the circle clapping as we took our Fielding positions. Our bowlers were able to restrict their openers in the first 5 overs to only 40 runs for 2 wickets but after that the fireworks started. Our every second ball was being hit for a boundary or sixer & we were all getting pretty frustrated specially virat. I was standing on the long off when another sixer was hit over me out of reach no chance of catching it & I was sure my face was showing my disappointment & agitation quite clearly. I could also practically see virat wearing his emotions on his sleeves as he was discussing the field arrangement with bhuvi, rearranging the field. And not to mention meg lanning & Steve Smith were playing exceptionally well for their team. our frustration level was increasing & so was the exchange of words b/w us. At the end  of 20 overs they made a huge target of 214 runs for us to chase. We were clearly disappointed at our bowling performance & secondly this pitch was not a high scoring one. So literally speaking we were screwed even if we have the chase master & hitman in our team but don't tell the said chase master & hitman I said this.
