If he has decided to step away, we just have to accept it.
We have to accept that Test cricket won’t be the same anymore.
We have to accept that we won’t feel the same level of excitement while watching Test matches.
We won’t witness the kind of passion this man brought to the field.
We have to accept it.
ACCEPTANCE — such a powerful word, yet it takes so much from you.
In this case, it feels like it’s taking the cricket fan in me.
But he has decided to step away.
My tears are falling as I write this.
I wish, I WISH, I could go back in time and see him play in whites again.
But that wish won’t be fulfilled.
This wound will stay with me forever.
"Dil hai kahi, aur dhadkan hai kahi"
He was the heartbeat of Test cricket.
And now… it has stopped.
It’s so hard to type this.
The man who made this format lovable for this generation,
The man who gave everything to it, is now walking away, just like that.
Just a post. Was it really this simple?
Why did this happen? What was the reason?
I know I’ll never get the answer, and that will haunt me forever.
Because he left with just a post, and it was all over.
He was literally the heartbeat of this format.
The man who gave his all.
The man who built this team.
Oh yeah, my “failed” captain,
If this is what failure looks like, then I always want to be a failure.
Sometimes it feels strange to feel this broken over a cricketer who doesn’t even know I exist.
I’ve heard it from my friends, from family:
“He doesn’t even know you.”
But they don’t understand.
This feeling is indescribable.
My heart is shattering into pieces as I write this.
It’s more than just a connection,
There’s no word that can fully explain it,
But I know it exists.
Thank You So Much Vii
