Title: "Caught Behind My Heart"
Summary:
Everyone in the Indian Cricket Team (ICT) thinks Ishan Kishan is shy, introverted, and a man of few words. He barely talks during practice, avoids eye contact, and spends most of his free time with headphones in, watching anime or cricket replays. Most of the team respects his space, assuming he's just reserved.
Except for one - Shubman Gill.
Shubman has been nursing a secret crush on Ishan ever since the wicketkeeper casually fixed his collar one day during training, without saying a word, then walked off like nothing happened. That one innocent touch? Yeah, Shubman still dreams about it.
Things take a turn when ICT goes on a team trip to a hill station for bonding and relaxation. That's when "Quiet Ishan" transforms. Turns out, once he's comfortable? He's a complete chaos gremlin - prankster, meme-lord, late-night storyteller, and the one who gets everyone to play dumb games like "truth or dare" or "who's most likely to..."
The whole team is shocked, but Shubman? He's absolutely smitten.
Now that Ishan is talking - laughing, teasing, and even pulling Shubman's leg - Shubman is in deep. But every time he tries to confess, something chaotic happens. From getting locked in a cable car with Ishan, to accidentally blurting "I love you" during a drinking game, Shubman just keeps digging a deeper hole of embarrassment.
Meanwhile, Ishan might be quieter in public, but he's not blind. He knows. And maybe, just maybe, he's been waiting for Shubman to say it for real.
