Friends, Cricket and Stupid crush

Friends,Cricket and Stupid Crush

There are two things which can never be taken away from an Indian “Cricket” and “Cinema”

Many in Modern India think cricket is a waste of time. I once heard someone saying it kills time, 5 days of play with 11 idiots waiting for something to happen with two bats and two painfully dreaded umpires.

       When Sachin hits a six it brings smiles and happiness on our face No matter what you do where you are? This question can never be stopped!! Dude what’s the score??

        Ramesh and krishnan are known for their infamous fight and ugly spat over the years. They were inseparable once but they are best known for their enmity.

         

               They were living in a small town called kudumbai in tamilnadu.  You can say it is a well-developed town. Saumya was the Reason behind their infamous torn friendship. They used to be best buddies but when they fell in Love with saumya and then everything changed. Best buddies ever since they know each other from their mommy’s womb turned out to be an ugly spat over a girl.

They fought for the best place in class to look at saumya.

They get a chance they gave their heart out to impress saumya.

They get the best food from home to give it to saumya.

Saumya had a hint about it but never cared to look in depth as she was busy preparing for her 12^th grade exams which will decide her future paths and the boys also prepared so hard but at the same time were also busy preparing on a book called How to impress saumya??

       Exams came out saumya went to Chennai to pursue her studies in IIT Chennai. Ramesh and krishnan stayed back joined Diploma in Computer and history as they were too busy concentrating on saumya but Saumya decided to ignore them.

       The blame game started and it became one of the silliest yet ugliest fights in the history of the town. Ramesh hit Krishnan with a cricket bat hard on his head and there were 4 stitches on his forehead which left an undeniably rough look any street fighter would need. Months went thankfully both of them studied in different colleges.

        One thing led to another and the silly fight over saumya grew larger one could not imagine it went on to become a gang war. The ones enviable Best friends became the enjoyable fighting gang for both the college guys.

         There was this selection for South zone Inter collegiate cricket tournament. The selection process was in Krishnan’s College. Both Ramesh and krishnan are well known for their Technical skill in batting, both of them open for their college cricket teams and it was no surprise when they got selected.

             The cricket camp was held in Coimbatore. Both ramesh and krishnan for the first time did not say anything nasty against each other and maintained discipline despite the well-known Bull fighters were there in the cricket camp the reason was simple they were playing cricket and cricket is something which can change anything in India. Moms update scores to their children dad lets his kid to skip school to play cricket. Brothers encourage each other to play cricket and when India plays no matter he is from Punjab, Srinagar, Jharkhand , Chennai, blore , Cochin , manipal , Bihar there is one word which everyone will chant Sachin or “Indiaaaaa Indiaaaa”.

         The tournament started Coach decided both krishnan and Ramesh will open the innings and they try to outdo each other which in a way benefited the team and both of them played the innings of their life. The team went in to the final and the opposition scored 310 in 40 overs which is a massive target and back in the Dressing room the coach said

         “No matter what you have achieved so far does not matter, you might have scored centuries made your team happy till this day but this is the biggest match of your lives. I want the cup to be taken home finish the game soon and I want to go home for dinner. It’s a very easy score all you need to do is hang in there and finish it with pride”

           Ramesh and krishnan looked intently in to the coach’s eyes as they made their way to the ground.

Ramesh said “I don’t care what happened between but let us win this game”

“I hope so and let us play the game of our lives” said krishnan.

          Opposition had the pace attack for years from different bowlers and people wondered how they managed to produce some beautiful seamers and it was a treat to watch every time someone bowls.

Ramesh closed his eyes and thought about the glimmering cup for a moment and faced the first ball.

           The character they showed till the 25^th over was something which will go in the coaching book for years. The coach was proudly standing at the pavilion and had a pride that they are his boys.

From the 25^th over its all technique and what a commentator say is all over the ground. They hit the ball with elegance and when they did hit it, it went like a bullet.

            37.3 overs both of them centuries still on the crease one run to win. Ramesh hit the winning runs and you can sense their joy krishnan went and lifted Ramesh and that is when the hate, grudge, gang wars, jealously vanished like it did not even exist. Their eyes met like a long lost lovers. A drop of tear came down from their eyes not because they won the match but the friendship which once they thought will never see its Light started to see its day.

            They hugged so tight and both walked to the pavilion with a standing ovation.

Cricket in India can never be taken away from anyone. It can bring the long lost less hopeful crazy friends together in the most dramatic filmy ishtyle :)
