Twenty-two Yards Of Yearning

He was supposed to be just a rival.
Just another name in the scorebook.
But under floodlights and thunderous crowds,
he became the storm Pat couldn't outrun.

Rohit Sharma - too soft-eyed, too sharp-minded, too innocent
too gentle to be untouched,
too dangerous to be desired.

Pat tells himself it's just cricket.
But the battlefield blurs -
with every glance, every graze,
every filthy word whispered through clenched jaws.

And somewhere between silence and surrender,
control unravels.
One captain's obsession.
One man's undoing.

This is not a love story.
It's an ache.
A collision of pride, pressure and yearning.
