All Those Moments

Part 8

101. Rohit requesting Dhawan to take first strike on that fateful 6th June 2013, the first day they opened together; Dhawan saying, 'mai kabhi first strike nahi leta'... Dhawan not listening to poor nervous Rohit's protests that it's his first day; years later in 2018, Dhawan taking first strike in SA to protect Rohit

102. Jaddu reacting in that hilarious, 'sorry, didn't mean to' fashion after dismissing his national captain in CSK vs RCB

103. No one believing in captain's bowling except himself; poor Virat wanting to bowl; Bumrah shouting from the boundary, 'No joking around, this is an international game!'; Virat giving up even trying to make them let him bowl ever again

104. Dhawan going to the toilet 5 minutes before every single match; Rohit lamenting that he has to take the first strike, not Dhawan, so can't he be more considerate?

105. Kohli howling with laughter at Jadeja's new hairstyle

106. Rohit hitting RCB for a trace-of-bullet four; AB, Virat's supposed best friend in RCB unable to stop it; Virat not able to hide a smile...it's Rohit after all

107. Dhoni: "Mahi, MSD, kuchh bhi bol, bass sir mat bolna"
Yuzi: "Ok, sir"
...And Dhoni being like, "Tu ja. Tujhse nahi hoga. Tu ja."

108. Yuzi and Kuldeep's unified hilarious opinion being that a chess match between Jaddu and Hardik will never reach a result; Jaddu and Hardik mocking and goading each other in Gujarati, and no, that match can't end

109. Jadeja bowling out a Sri Lanka player in a Test match in 2017 and appealing wildly; the entire team, in splits, closing in on him to tease him because "you don't appeal for a clean bowled, Mr. Jadeja"

110. Hardik being the most fashion conscious and stylish player in the entire team; anyone asking, "Person in the Indian team who needs fashion advice?"; and Kuldeep and Yuzi (and everyone in the team) being like, "Hardik!"

111. Hardik being asked who would win a fistfight between him and Rohit; Hardik cheekily saying, "The captain, always!"

112. The Indian team in England for the World Cup after one and a half months of playing against each other during IPL; the Men in Blue going paintballing together; people saying 'focus on cricket' but our players not caring, of course; our team having come a long, long way together and wherever they go, they'll go together

113. Dhoni calling Jadeja 'Sir Ravindra Jadeja' till the entire team joins in the joke

114. Rohit running out Kohli on two consecutive occasions; Rohit going on to score 200s on both the days...and Kohli just not finding it in his heart to be annoyed

115. RCB going through a terrible losing streak in 2018; about to face table toppers CSK; irrespective of IPL team Virat holding on to Mahi bhai like a lifeline, and Mahi bhai trying to tell his younger brother, it's going to be all right
