HOME FOR MY HEART |KL Rahul Fanfiction|

28. Over.

*Rahul's POV*

"All the best." Shyra hugged me before I went down to the ground.

"Thanks." I kissed her temple.

*

"And into the crowd goes the ball!" The commentator spoke.

"KL in the form today." He added.

The next ball was wide. I could see the tension in the air. We needed 36 runs off 10 balls. The next ball was bowled and we took 3 runs. Virat was on strike now.

"And that's another six!"

Both of us walked to the middle of the pitch.

"27 runs more. We can do this." He said. I nodded and we walked back, Virat taking the strike.

Dot ball.

Virat calmed himself down. He waited for the next ball.

"BOWLED!"

Virat was bowled.

"Sri Lanka still in the game."

He shook his head, and walked off the ground. Hardik came on to the ground, jogging towards me.

"They told us to take it our way." He informed. I nodded.

Looking up at the balcony, I saw Shyra speaking to Anushka, who flew down today morning. The girls were in a deep conversation.

Soon enough, the time was out and the next over started. I was on strike. It was a short ball. I tried connecting it to a six, but failed. We managed to take 2 runs.

"25 off 5 balls. Let's see what the Indian lads do."

"And that's a four by Rahul!"

21 off 4.

Rahul, it's achievable. Calm down. This time, I smashed a six.

"Another fifty for KL Rahul!" The commentator said.

The crowd erupted into cheers.

I saw Shyra clapping, with a smile on her face.

"15 runs needed off 3 balls."

I hit another six.

"And into the crowd once again!"

9 off 2.

The bowler bowled a full toss, and I connected it. It went flying out of the stadium. I just stood there, watching it go.

Wow.

"KL Rahul on fire! The ball is out of the stadium. What a massive six that was."

Hardik jogged upto where I was standing.

"That was awesome!" He said.

"3 off 1." I told him. He nodded.

"You got this." He told me, and jogged back to the non striker's end.

The bowler bowled a yorker this time. I don't know what happened or what I did, the umpire lifted his finger up, signalling I was out.

"Sri Lanka win the match!"

*

Although we lost, I still won the M.O.M. After collecting the award, I walked off the ground and upstairs to the balcony.

"Rahul! You were amazing!" Anushka hugged me.

"Thank you. Where's Shyra?" I asked her.

"She had to leave early for her video shoot."
