IPL 2020

ROHUL

AUTHOR'S POV - 

"Congratsssssssss Rahullllllllllllllllllllllll" Mayank screamed and jumped on Rahul from behind. 

"Monkus, whats wrong with you ? I would have fallen into the pool." Rahul said angrily. 

"I dont care about that, you are selected as Vice Captain" Mayank screamed happily. 

"What the hell? Did I just get demoted to VC from Captain of KXIP? Why are you so happy then? Is it because you became a captain?" Rahul bombarded him with his stupid questions. 

"I seriously do not get where you bought your brain from, you need to go exchange it for a better one." Mayank said and Rahul gave him a look. 

"You idiot, you are selected as the Vice Captain for ODI and T20 series against Australia." Mayank said and jumped on Rahul again however Rahul was not able to digest this news and he actually fell into the pool, dragging Mayank with him as well, making the whole team laugh. 

"Whats wrong with you two?" Anil Kumble who was also there asked. 

"He fell." Mayank said pointing at Rahul. 

"He pushed." Rahul said pointing at Mayank. 

"You two are not kids, come on get out of the pool now." Anil said scolding the two of them and they came out.

"Did I actually get selected as VC?" Rahul asked, still shocked. 

"Rahul Mayank, now you two change and come for dinner and yes congrats Rahul for being selected as VC, you deserve it and you too Mayank." Anil said once he made sure that Rahul and Mayank were out of the pool and that they went back to their rooms to change. 

"And yes you will be stuck with me through out." Mayank said. 

"Means?" Rahul asked. 

"I am there in all three squads." Mayank said and Rahul was happier listening to this than he was when he heard that he will be VC and he hugged Mayank. 

"Wait if I am VC then B-Ro man?" Rahul asked immediately as soon as that striked his mind. 

"He has an injury so BCCI will monitor the progress of his injury first" Mayank said but Rahul was not at all convinced. 

"Oh okay, lets change quickly and come back." Rahul said and Mayank nodded as they went to their respective rooms. 

Rahul was not happy with the fact that he was replacing Rohit, he was supposed to be happy that he was the VC, but he didnt feel happy. He knew that it was just because Rohit was injured but he felt like no one but Rohit deserved that position. The dinner went on with a lot of fun and many of his team members congratulated him and he half - heartedly thanked them all. 

"You arent happy." Mayank said to Rahul after observing his behavior through out the dinner and until they were going back to their rooms.

"I am not actually." Rahul said. 

"And why is that?" Mayank asked. 

"Rohit should be VC." Rahul said and Mayank knew that the over thinking Rahul was back in work. 

"But he is injured, and he is the best, we know it, you are VC only because he isnt available you are not replacing his forever, you are just substituting for his absence." Mayank said addressing Rahul's confusion and Rahul just nodded to that, still not convinced. 

Rahul went back to his room and started doing a full research on what injury Rohit has gotten, how many matched he hasnt played, when he got the injury and in a few minutes he had all the information about his injury from Google baba. Then while scrolling down to get more information, he found a video of Rohit, hitting the nets, that video was uploaded that very morning.
