A Shubman Gill Fanfiction
The stadium was roaring, alive in the way only an IPL night could be. Lights blazed overhead, chants echoed endlessly, and thousands of voices merged into one electric wave inside Narendra Modi Stadium. And somewhere in that chaos-between flags, jerseys, and flashing cameras-stood Aratrika Shah, screaming at the top of her lungs like nothing else in the world mattered.
Because to her, nothing else did.
At twenty-three, Aratrika was a final-year fashion design student in Ahmedabad, balancing sketchbooks and deadlines by day, and living, breathing cricket by night. She didn't just watch matches-she felt them. Every run, every wicket, every moment lived in her chest. And when it came to Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli, she didn't hold back-she screamed louder, celebrated harder, like she belonged to the game itself.
That night, like always, she had dragged her friends along, insisting cricket wasn't meant to be watched-it was meant to be lived. And when Shubman walked in to bat, her world narrowed down to the pitch. Every ball had her breath caught, every shot had her on edge.
Until-
A six.
Clean. Effortless. Perfect.
And Aratrika lost it.
She screamed, laughed, completely consumed by the moment-eyes shining, unaware that up on the field, Shubman had glanced at the big screen.
And instead of the replay-
He saw her.
Not the crowd. Not the noise.
Just her.
The girl who felt the game more than anyone else.
And just like that, something shifted.
Because in a crowd of thousands-
He noticed one.
He didn't know her name, didn't know who she was-but he couldn't forget her. And even after she disappeared back into the crowd, the moment stayed.
Because now-
Shubman Gill was searching.
For a girl who had no idea...
that she had just become the reason he couldn't look away from the stands anymore.
