As Rahul was walking by the room of the recent addition to their family, namely Rishab Pant, where he found some type of discussion going between the new kiddos namely Rishab, Shreyash Iyer, Shivam Dube, Navdeep Saini, Sanju Samson and Shubman Gill.
He knew he shouldn't eavesdrop, eavesdropping isn't right but he couldn't help himself hearing Rishab take his name in a whiny tone. You try hearing your name and ignoring the curiosity of knowing what's going on?
"Virat bhaiya, trust Rahul more than me. He always does listen to him more." Rishu complained looking on the verge of crying.
"It's not like that" Saini tried to defend Virat being a loyal Virat kid.
"No, don't Nav....I've heard so much about the rifts between the team and the seniors dominating the juniors."
"And also of being biased"
"Yes and then their are so many rumors"
"Raydu bhai told me that they all were very shrewd and can destroy our careers specially Virat"
"no, it isn't so" Nav tried again to be shut up by others
"Yes, even the supporting staff is afraid of Virat bhai and his bossing around."
As Rahul heard the talks of the juniors, he realized one thing for certain outer elements were on work again if they couldn't break them. They were poisoning the mind of the kids against the seniors. And it's not at all good news for them.
The kids didn't even know this ICT isn't just a team, it's more, it's a family and family members might fight with each other but they'll be always there for each other too.
They need to make the kids realize this soon before the outer agencies and some still present in the team destroys them.
He needs to inform Virat fast and again prove they're a very good team.
"Maybe," said Rahul. "Maybe things aren't meant to be the same forever."
"Maybe," said Virat.
He didn't believe it, and yet he did.
Because the 31-year-old man addressing him was KL Rahul, an Indian cricket hero, a husband and an adult, and not Rahuliya, Virat's little brother and "property"...and he had been KL Rahul for quite a while, even if Virat had shut his eyes to it.
You think that one bond with that one person in your life will stay the same forever, and suddenly one day that person seems miles away, slipping out of grasp, maybe never to return again.
Has that Rahuliya slipped away from Virat for good?
Certainly not if Rohit Sharma has anything to do with it!
