Part 10 : Match Day

||Anya||

It's match day finally and I really can't wait to see Shubman play today. I'm even more excited 'cause it will be my first experience. It's a T20 match and will be played in the evening. Riya called me this morning and said that she'll pick me and Aryan on her way. I took a half day leave from office and came back 'cause I don't want to miss anything from the match mainly because Shubman is captaining the side.

Deciding on outfits has been a dilemma for me since Shubman came into my life. Earlier I never really cared what I wear but now for some reason I don't feel like going in front of Shubman that way, I feel the need to look good and impressive.

After thinking for over an hour I decided to wear a white dress paired with blue denim jacket and white sneakers. Dressing up in casuals is best when you can't decide what to wear. I lightly brushed my hair and applied minimal make up before heading downstairs.

Aryan and I were sitting on the couch and waiting for Riya to come when my phone beeped.

Riya
Waiting outside your gate. Come asap!

"Riya is here, let's go!" I tell Aryan and we left.

"Hey girl, what's up?" Riya asked me.

"I'm excited!" I squeal closing the car door.

"So am I" she said enthusiastically. "Hey Aryan" she greeted him.

"Hey di, how are you?" He asked.

"I'm fine. Are you equally excited?" She asked him.

"Can't wait" he said excitedly.

"Let's go then" Riya said and started driving.

"Isn't Myra coming?" I asked Riya.

"No, her grandmother is ill and her parents are not in town so she had to stay back" she tells me.

"Ohh, sad" I replied.

We reached the Feroz Shah Kotla in no time. Riya parked the car in the VIP parking after which we went inside.

The atmosphere inside the stadium was electrifying. Almost every seat in the stadium was occupied and everyone was yelling their favourite player's name.

The players from both the teams were warming up in the ground in their training outfit. My eyes instantly started searching for Shubman and I found him. He was standing near the dug out talking to his coach. The crowd near him was constantly yelling his name so he turned and waved at them giving a big smile. My lips formed a curve seeing that.

"When will the toss happen?" Aryan asked.

"Ten minutes from now" Riya answered.

"How often do they show you on the big screen?" I asked her.

"Not much if I don't do something weird" she giggled. "It's really annoying to be honest" she added.

"I'll be careful then" I laughed.

Shubman went back to the dressing room and came back after five minutes wearing his jersey and holding a piece of paper which is probably the team sheet. He went near the pitch where the Australian team's captain was already standing. It's toss time!
