Summary - July 2017. A regular ODI series against New Zealand and a basic match in Ontago. Virat may have spoken a little out of turn during the match but it is what happened after the match which lit the proverbial fire. Did Virat have the mental maturity to take up the reins of captaincy with the ex-captain playing alongside him? Was he responsible for MS giving up his limited overs captaincy when he did? And what about the kids? How far was he responsible for Jassi's gloominess, the hint of accusation in Hardik's words and Rahul's outright censure? And when the pressure builds up, the outburst was directed at the person who deserved it the least; MS Dhoni. His ex-captain, his forever captain. His Mahi bhai. Could the damage control be done before it becomes too late? One ex-captain rethinking his decision to continue as a player and one captain whose dignity stops him from seeking the support he so desperately requires. And a Team in the throes of Doom.

Summary - "The return makes one love the farewell." - Alfred de Musset Farewell. It is a simple word, holding behind it, a ton of feelings, of emotions, of what-ifs and maybes, of what was done, what could have been, what may have been. For a lone soul, even though the ache in his heart grew with every passing moment, Farewell strongly and strangely, felt like homecoming. Retired at long last, the parties, the laurels, the wishes and the celebration makes little sense to Virat. He has one destination in mind; one final promise to collect and to a few more to make. And he sets out for the same, not knowing that even simple moments can hold memories to light up a lifetime. Also, unknown to the player, more events are set in motion than what meets the eye.
