A Shubman Gill Fanfiction
London was never meant to be quiet for him.
As India's Test captain, Shubman Gill arrives in the city carrying expectations heavier than his kit bag - press conferences, nets, strategy meetings, and the constant noise of being watched. On a rare free evening, he slips away from the hotel, choosing anonymity over headlines, letting London's winding streets lead him without a plan.
That's when he walks into Pia Sharma's photo and portrait studio - not as a captain, not as a brand, not as a headline - just a tired man seeking stillness.
There is no appointment. No BCCI involvement. No PR, no cameras waiting outside.
Just a quiet studio filled with light, unfinished frames, and a woman who sees him before she recognises him.
Pia doesn't ask for autographs. She doesn't talk about cricket. She asks him why he looks like someone who hasn't rested in a long time.
What begins as a chance encounter slowly becomes a refuge - a place where innings pause, silence speaks, and two strangers find comfort in moments that don't demand explanations.
Set against rain-soaked London streets, long Test matches, and the fragile space between duty and desire, this is a story about being seen when the world expects you to perform - and the kind of love that finds you when you aren't looking for it.
