It was a good day in January. It was even better evening in India but some people's afternoon in Australia seemed to have gone down to hell. They were still staring at their phone screens with absolute mournful looks while dialing call to people back home.

"Hello!" The sleeping voice of one Hardik Pandya greeted one fuming KL Rahul.

"Abeey idiot you're sleeping, yaha itna bada kand ho gaya and you're sleeping!!!" Rahul all but yelled full of disbelief as he paced around in the team room.

Totally disturbing everyone else and to be truthful it wasn't like there was anyone remaining to be disturbed.

For Rishu, Kul, and Subhi were screaming on an totally flustered Shrey in background.

"You know what Shrey bro, kisi kaam k ni aap"

"Naak ktwa di"

"aap k bs ki kuch niiiii"

"Hua kya voh toh batao koi?" Harry asked totally confused in absolute sync with Shrey.

"Open your Instagram and check, idiot" Jassi screamed back asking Rahul to merge the calls, well, it'll be easier to curse this way after all.

Bewildered and totally confused, both the boys checked their Instas and got the absolute shock of their lives.

"WTF" both of them screamed together.

"yeah, WTF" Rah and Jassi repeated unnaturally calmly glaring daggers at Shrey and Harry.

"Mumbai mein hone ka kya fayda tum logo ka gadhe logo" Rahul snapped

"tu Ja ni skta tha kya? Idiot" Jassi added.

"Voh waha pahucha kaise?" Kul asked.

"Entry kaisi mil gyi usse?" Subh exclaimed.

"Tum kya kr rhe the??" Rishu demanded.

"mujhe kya pata, mein knsa watchman ka kaam krta hu bhyi?" Shrey grumbled at the same time Jinks pipped in with a logical, "On his legs obviously,"

and Rah mumbling out, "Shayad tere apartments ka hai, gadha insaan" While Jinks quip earned the glares of all the kids present in the room.

"aap kiski team mein ho yeh clear kro?" They demanded as one.

"matter kya hai voh batao na pehle" Ash said rolling his eyes, the kids were on a roll from the morning.

"SEE This!!!" The kids yelled showing the phone to them with Virat's post on the top.

The post showing a pic of Virat's baby in Manisha's arms with her face hidden, holding Dev's and Manish's shirt. It was such a cute pic with caption; My Brother, Baby kiddo and baby!

"Manishaaa k sath pehli pic dali mere Veer ne!" Jaddu yelled totally scandalized, looking at Ro, Jinks, Ash and Pujji.

"DEV bhiii" The kids gang yelled on top of their lungs. The seniors couldn't forget the injustice done to them. The absolutely couldn't.

Well, he needed to be in the post too.

How can his besties post pics with his godchild without him? This was so unfair.

He'll kill both of them.

That's his godchild. He had just seen the child on video calls and here, Manisha is holding his godchild and playing with the child. It's so unfair.

Why isn't he playing SMAT again? Huh, all excuses to be with Veer. He knows everything.

He'll absolutely kill them for this injustice.

It was a normal day in the NCA. The wall of Indian cricket team, Sir Rahul Dravid was very pleased with the way things were going around in his empire. Happily, he decided to take a walk around. He was walking around when he spotted Bhuvi sitting in one of the makeshift dugouts and decided to greet the kid.

"Bhuvii!! how are you this evening?" Rahul said merrily.

"JAMMYYYYY BHAIYAAAAAA, how are you?" The over excited yell of a kid, he knew so-well, startled Rahul.

He looked at Bhuvi who was smiling apologetically at him and Virat who was waving like a possessed being from Bhuvi's phone screen.

"Virat baccha! please don't yell like this meri thodi izzat hai yaha," Rahul said calmly trying very hard to not smile watching Virat's confused expression.

"Meine kb aapk izzat ka kabada kiya?" Virat asked all confused.

Bhuvi tried very hard to hide his snickers hearing Virat's words while Jammy bhai shook his head, making this kid understand was beyond him anyway.

"Aaj drama company yaha kaise? Dadi and Mahiya k paas kaise nhi?" Rahul asked, knowing Virat troubled both of them the most, well, like thousand times a day.

"Bhaiyaa! ab kya hi batau mein aapko meri dukh bhari dastaan. I'm locked and both of them are busyyyy. IT's so unfair isn't it, bhaiyaa, aap hi batao chotte bhai k liye toh time hi time hona chahiye right, ab aap batao mein kya karu? kya karu mein? meri koi feeling ni kya? Kisse baat kru mein?" Virat demanded acting all melodramatic.

"Well, mahashaye aapk jo dada hai na unka order hai aapk sb besties ko jaldi theek krne ka and aapk besties ne toh injured hone ka competition laga rkha hai, ek k baad ek ho rhe hai aur yaha pahuch rhe hai! it's like mein ek squad bana lu unse" Rahul lamented, thinking about his obnoxious bestie ordering him to get them fit soon like he has some kind of magic wand which he'll wave and they'll get fit in seconds.

"Bana lo na bhaiya, we will play a match then your injured 11 vs Dada's mad eleven. What say?" Virat japed laughingly.

Jammy bhai facepalmed.

"of course, tere Dada ka mad eleven hi ho skta hai. He is mad himself after all and thinks-I'm a injury healing machine of some kind," Jammy grumbled sharing a look with a Bhuvi, who was controlling his laughter from what feels like ages. He didn't know how he gets struck in this kind of situations always? Generations can change but he getting struck can't.

"Bilkul " Virat admitted and none of them were any wiser to guess whether he was agreeing with dada being mad part or Jammy bhai being injury healing machine part.

"So, if the match happens who'll be the umpire? Mahiya?" Jammy bhai asked, only to humor Virat.

"Areey nahi, nahi" Virat declined immediately, "Voh toh coach honge humare and I'll be the VC of the team"

Jammy bhai could all but imagine how Mahiya coaching his dada will look like? And it was so difficult to not laugh at that mental image but still he asked, "fir humara coach kn hoga?"

And it was not surprising that Virat will be the VC of Saurav's mad eleven. After all, both were same in Jammy's eyes, absolutely mad.

"You can keep Shashtri ji" Virat said all thoughtfully.

"nahi, nahi keep your Shashtri ji. I'll call my Lacchu," Rahul denied Virat's generous offer.

"toh lacchu bhai khelenge nhi?" Virat asked absolutely gleefuly

"voh injured nhi na" Jammy bhai reminded.

"Well, I can do the prabhand if you want, I'll ask Shreya to play that tripping dancing challenge with Lacchu bhaiya and he could be part of the team then," Virat suggested all too goofily to his Jammy bhaiya.

Jammy really couldn't believe his ears. This kid was absolutely mad, totally, absolutely like his Dadi. Their was no doubt on that matter, none at all. He looked at Bhuvi asking "What to do with this guy?"

Bhuvi's eyes replied with a "Nothing"

Jammy was certain this kid was mad, absolutely mad. But still, he found himself discussing the players of his injured 11 and Dada's mad eleven with a certain Cheeku very animatedly.

Watching them all Bhuvi could think was, "ab izzat ka khayal nhi kya aap mein se kisiko?"
