Jadeja P.O.V:

Life seemed to have come in a full circle at that moment for Jadeja....

Another heartbreak,yet another defeat...

Another match where he had failed to take his team over the line...

Kisne kaha wounds heal with time and the second time they hit you , you get habituated of it ..Jisne bhi ye bola na wo khud experience nahi kiya hoga in the first place...Cause this feels like dejavu...This feels like his biggest nightmare last year all again ...This feels like his heart being cut open and sliced up repeatedly...And this is the second time he has broken someone's trust upon him,his captain's blind faith on him,his veer's bharosa on him....Jo khud se jyada bharosa mujhpe kiya..

Inspite of the multiple so called experts and few overanalyzing commentators like that Sanju manju repeatedly questioning his place in the team,Veer ya Virat bolu coz aisa lagta hai ki mein veer kehne ke layak bhi nahi hu ab,has never thought of atleast keeping him out of team,didn't even question his form ya blame him for anything...Na tab jab wc haare the ya ab where we r abt to loose this...But he knows...He knows for a fact that what was expected from an allrounder like him...What was expected from a senior player like him...In an overseas tour...That too when it matters the most,in conditions like this when the team needed him the most.....Phir ek baar ..phir ek baar...shayad ab mein iska layak nahi hu...iss game ka...iss trust ka...iss jersey ka...

Like this a hell lot of thoughts seem to be swarming jadeja's mind right now as he started walking from pitch to the pavillion bending his head not daring to meet anyone's eyes cause he knew it for a fact that he is gonna find hate,anger and questions of betrayal like why wasnt he able to deliver in his team's eyes and wo unse bardaash nahi ho payega....This fire of guilt is consuming him from inside....He will go away from the game slowly ,disassociating himself from it without raising doubt in anyone's mind but he can't see hate towards him in their eyes,in veer's eyes especially ... Cause he can never live with the fact that his veer hates him or veer is disappointed with him....

So,when he felt a back pat and a hug from virat once he reached the pavillion ,he is astonished...Ya actually he isn't... For that is the kind of a guy his virat has always been ....He can never see anyone sad or anyone blaming themselves chahe iske liye wo khud gunpoint pe kyun na aa jaye...Not wanting to worry virat more than what he is already,jaddu gave a watery eyed strained smile to virat...But whom in this world is he kidding??Virat Kohli,the guy who is very well versed in finding ppl's emotions and is very good at actually making them feel better ( inspite of whatever that idiot thinks)...

20 min later:(Dressing room):

Virat entered the room to find a certain Jadeja looking into the oblivion not even noticing his presence...He tried getting jad's attention by clicking fingers infront of him...On failing miserably at that,virat came and plopped beside jaddu side hugging him...

Jadeja looked at him as if he came suddenly from a trance...Unable to withhold his emotions any longer and may be the magic coaxing touch, jadeja's eyes started watering without his control....He sobbingly asked virat like a kid,"kyun humesha humare saath hi hota hai ye veer....And humesha mein hi fail ho jata hu....It's the same today...Aur lag raha hai ki ab mujhme wo kabiliyat nahi hi veer....wo pagal junoon and wo finishing capability kahi kho gaya hu mein....I don't deserve this anymore after failing the game aisa miserably twice...Isiliye ab lag raha hai ki chali jaun iss se dur,taaki koi aur jinme kabiliyat hai aur mujhse jyada accha khele unko yeh jagah mile... someone who is more deserving....

Even though very much alarmed by the stupid thoughts and the last line of jadeja,virat decided to handle him with care and said"accha...jaddu...mein kuch bolunga ..dhyaan se sun na..tumhe yaad hai wo Dharamsala mein aus ke against 2017 mein wo test,kiske wajahse jeete hum....??sirf aur sirf tere wajhse...jab hum sab log out hogaye and we were at 221/6,wo insaan tum hi ho jisne wriddhi ke saath wo partnership banake humko jitwa diya...wo match bhi and series bhi...and tum hi tha humara star player uss series mein...tum ne finish kiya wo.....2014 mohali against England,2016 Wankhede against nz...aur bhi bahuth saara hai jo tumne kiya...jo tumne team ko jitaya...Sir Ravindra Jadeja...the finisher ne kiya...bas ye ek do innings tumhe define nahi karta hai jaddu...waise dekhu tho,I failed today...I failed back that day,I failed in Feb...The so called chase master...who failed...

Jaddu:Arey veer....wo bas do instances hai....All of us know what you are capable of...The entire world knows...The team knows...I know...Just 2 buri din...

Virat looked at jadeja as if saying "see...tum ne khud bola...it's just a bad day jaddu....just two instances....two bad days bas..."making jadeja realise upto an extent..

Slapping him very lightly on the cheek,virat said :how dare you?? How dare you ha aisa sochne ki...mere bhai ko mujhse aur iss khel se alag aur dur karne ki permission kisne diya tujhe??khabardaar aise wale soch phirse kiya tho...revdi...tum aur mani wo log hai jo mera saath hai,humesha se...like since mein 18 saal ka hu constantly....You have seen all my highs and lows,mera hasi bhi dekha tumne aur uske peeche chupa hua gham bhi dekha tumne...so uss bond se bol raha hu,sach bol raha hu.. ab iss mod pe bilkul akela hu...nahi ho raha hai yaar akela....mahi bhai tho chod ke chale gaye hai bina bolke..tum bhi aisa bina bolke mat chale jaa na revdi...bas yahi sirf ek promise chahiye mujhe tumse.."emotionally by the end of it...

Virat again:So,ab yeh rota hua shakal ko jaldi se poch lete hai coz yeh tera aur mera image pe bilkul suit nahi karega...kyun ki tum sher ho mera...And mera Rajput humesha haste aur logon ko hasate hue hi accha lagta hai...Chalo let's go...

Jaddu:Teekh hai...Tho,tum bata .... Tera kya hai....har kisiki padi hai tujhe sirf tere alawa...Why r u hell bent on being the candle that burns itself to give light to others??Har controversy aur mushkil se sabko bachate hue tum khud bhul rahe ho ki tum bhi insaan ho veer..Tujhe bhi kisiki support ka jarurat hai...Bolo veer...bolo..Yeh batao tum last kab soyi ho??Teekh se...in capital's TEEKH SE....

Virat:Kya bataun??

Jaddu:wahi jo tera utra hua chehre ke peeche ka raaz...As u said tera jhooti hasi aur asli chamakta hua aankhe ka farak ek jhatke mein pata chalta hai mujhe... itna tho jaanta hu tujhe...

Virat:chod na jaddu....dekho presentation ka time ho raha hai...

Jaddu:veer ...abhi ke liye bach gaya tu...par yeh mat sochna ki ab reeva and nidhu hai so tere kamre mein ghus nahi paunga...Tera importance aur place wahi hai jo humesha se tha aur rahega...Be ready raat 8 baje..And bach nahi paunga tum...No excuses...jarurat padega tho mani ko bhi leke aaunga. .
