Chapter 21 :-
In commentary box :
David Lloyd : Guys welcome after drinks...New Zealand are 166 for 5 . Let's see how many they can put up on the board before Indian bowlers will rip through the batting line up…
Ian Botham( with his hands on his head ):"There it is, they'll go…this'll be out, surely! OHH HE'S OUT, HE'S GOING TO BE RUN OUT, OH THAT'S IT, SANTNER DIDN'T RUN, I CANNOT BELIEVE IT,ROSS TAYLOR departs so the hopes of KIWIS for a 300 , RIDICULOUS RUNNING between the wickets, SANTNER DIDN'T GO, TAYLOR COME, What a disappointing end for ROSS TAYLOR and NEW ZEALAND…..
Rahul Dravid( jumping with joy ): Guys WANKHEDE is jumping right now and what a superb throw by Abhijeet he surely has a golden arm….and the faces fell in New Zealand's dressing room...
In Field ( parallel scene ):
Aayan bowled his leg break and Ross Taylor nudged it on off-side and started running for a double...but his partner Mitchell Santner didn't run and as the result both batsman were standing at the same end while the wicket keeper collects the ball in his safe hands and takes the ball with ease….
Indian team started jumping with joy as they knew the value of the wicket...this was the wicket that they required...now New Zealand are 166 for 6….
In Audience ( parallel scene ):
ACP stood up from seat : Wowwww ! yesss ! out hai yaar sab batsman out hogaye sirf 166 pe maza aagaya ab to 300 se pehele out sabke sab…
DIG in joy started jumping : Bhai tune throw dekha tiger ka waahh ! yaar kitna mast tha ek dum wicket pe ke pass diya tha aur boundary se…
Arpita in disappointment : Hoga bhi kyun nahi ghar pe bhi ye Abhi aur uske papa kaanch hi phodte rehte the ball se...ACP looked away with a shy smile while DIG started laughing at her taunt loudly….
Freddy ( Hugged Pankaj with joy ): Bhai 6 gir gayi wickets...aur sirf 166 bane hai abhi tak ab to India semi final mein chale jayegi….
Pankaj ( In irritated tone ): Freddy sir ! India ko jab jana hoga chale jayegi aap mujhe chodiye mera dum ghut raha hai….Freddy left him after shooting him a glare…
In Commentary box :
Rahul Dravid ( In excited tone ): Wohh ! our captain is here with the ball in his hand….
Ian Botham (stood up from his seat): RIGHT IN THE BLOCK HOLE ! cricket at its best , WHAT A YORKER IT WAS , excellent start for the 40th OVER…
David Lloyd ( standing on the seat ):That's it! Wicket number 7, ABHIJEET strikes once more! WANKHEDE is absolutely jumping, NEW ZEALAND are 195 for 7! TIMBAHHH ! SANTNER goes...
Rahul Dravid ( with his hands in air ): Oh CRUNCHED IT ! TIM SOUTHEE comes and slaps this one over long on for a maximum…
Ian Botham ( still standing on seat ): Whatever may be the result I am his fan bro he is superb , excellent , amazing , awesome , fantastic and now I don't have words to describe his mind boggling talent….
David Lloyd in excitement : Oh Man ! Fantastic bro awesome what a stop by Vaibhav he saved two runs with that dive…
In Field ( parallel scene ):
ABHIJEET took the run up and bowled a beautiful inswinging yorker that landed near the foot of the batsman , who placed his bat in time to stop the ball , he took his run up again and again bowled a beautiful seaming yorker near the middle stump but this time it straightaway broke the stumps….
His team started jumping in the air and dancing as opposition was 7 down only on 195…
In the next over TUSHAR came for bowling but the batsman straightaway hit for a huge six…
In Audience ( parallel scene ):
ACP sir started jumping with that wicket : HURRAH ! middle stump gaya uska kya ball thi woww…
DIG started jumping and shouting with joy on the wicket with a poster of OUT in his hand : YESSS ! tiger rocks again and New Zealand shocks….Arpita started laughing at it loudly...
Girl ( In excitement ): India ki batting aane vali hai 7 gaye aur itne runs to humara Abhijeet hi banadega akela…
In DUG out ( parallel scene ):
Kapil Sir to Sumit : Abe 7 out hogaye and he stood up from the seat and started jumping…
Sumit in tease : Haan to bhai tu kyun itna uchal raha hai tune thodi wickets li hai li to meri team ne hai na…
Kapil sir crossing his arms on his chest : Ooo bhai sahab aapki team haina inko training kon deta hai mai...Sumit hid his eyes…
Sumit : Haan to kya hua hai to meri hi he got engrossed in seeing the match while Kapil nodded his head in disappointment...
In Commentary Box :
Ian Botham ( excitedly ):"Oh he's padded up, OH HE'S GIVEN HIM, HE'S GIVEN HIM, UMPIRE KETTLEBROUGH'S GIVEN HIM, THAT'S THE END OF MATT HENRY ! WICKET number 8 for India"
David Lloyd ( exclaimed ): INDIA are thrashing NEW ZEALAND like a pile of cards…
Rahul Dravid ( In broad smile ): Oh TUSHAR you beauty typical TEST MATCH style dismissal...this INDIAN TEAM HAD ROCKED THE WORLD CUP TILL NOW…
After few minutes ,
David Lloyd ( stood up from seat and banged his foot on the wall ) : OH GOD! Here comes the spoil-sport , DRIZZLING STARTED AT WANKHEDE still one over left NEW ZEALAND managed to make 240 for 9...faces fell in INDIAN DRESSING ROOM...covers coming up on ground and players are running back in the dressing room…
Ian Botham ( patting his forehead): Hovercraft coming on the ground ( nudging David Lloyd's shoulder lightly ) to cover the pitch...
In Field :
Arjun(patting his forehead in disappointment) :Yaar ye mai kaisa insaan utha laya isko cover lagana bhi sikhana padhega aur janab kehte hai CID officer hai ye…
Ramesh (rolling his eyes) : Abe Arjun ye konsi item utha ke laya hai isse cover bhi nahi lagte, lagte to dur ki baat hai uthaye tak nahi jaa rahe ( Both looked at Daya who was still fidgeting to pick up the cover while he ordered other ground's man) jao yaar madad karo uski covers uthane mein…
Groundsman along with Daya picked up the covers and placed them on the ground starting from the hovercraft and ending near the fences…
Daya(with a relaxing smile to Arjun ) : Ab to cover laga diye ab jau mai audience mein…
Arjun ( in tease): Haan bhai bade sundar lagaye tumne aadhe se zyada ground pe to auro ne lagaye hai(Daya smiled shyly which raised his anger bar) Mai tareef nahi kar raha hun tana maar raha hun aur covers lagadiye to duty hogayi uthayega kon (sarcastically) main ?!
Daya(with an open mouth ): Ab uthane bhi padhenge ( Arjun looked at him with a killing look) mera matlab hai utha dunga na pakka ( In extra sweet tone) Sir…
In Dressing Room :
Abhijeet was standing on the balcony with his elbow's resting on the railing and his face rested on it looking really disappointed at the situation...while all others sighed looking at him…
Kartik (softly went near him and kept his hand on his shoulder who looked at him in irritation) : Abhi kya hua yaar ?!..
Abhijeet (In frustration ): Bhaii ye barish ab kya karenge rukne ka naam hi nahi le rahi ...Kartik smiled at him sadly…
Kartik (with a gloomy face) : Chod yaar shayad apna World cup ka safar itna hi tha ab nahi ruki to vo jayenge aage hum wapas ghar pe...he patted his back for once and went from there…
Abhijeet (pov): sadly) Par ye to galat hai na isme humari kya galti hum kyun jaye bahar uss din mai Mumma aur Papa se vada karke aaya tha uska kya hoga firr 4 saal intezar karna padhega he punched the wall harshly in anger….
Outside balcony (In Dressing room):
DIG, ACP and Arpita came into the dressing room..and sighed seeing him standing with a dejected face…
DIG sir : Kartik hua kya hai isko…
Kartik (sadly): Kuch nahi uncle bass pareshan hai barish ki vajah se ruk nahi rahi na kahin hum logo ko bahar na jana pade world cup se…
ACP and Arpita looked at him and sighed at it...both of them were going to talk with him but suddenly all four of them heard loud sounds from balcony and Abhijeet came running inside with a broad smile on his face…he came and unintentionally he hugged ACP tightly in excitement and ..ACP's heart missed a beat with that hug Arpita and DIG were looking at him with shock , before ACP could hug him back , Abhijeet realised his position and separated from the hug….and he looked away in awkwardness while ACP was looking at him with painful-hurt expressions…
Kartik (to make the situation light): Hua kya bhai itni excitement kyun
Abhijeet (In excitement shouted in his ear): Chalooooo bhai barish ruk gayi...batting karne chaloooo…
Kartik (pressing his ear lightly) : Bhaii 25 ki umar mein behra karde mujhe (Abhijeet hid his laugh on that) bahar jaunga to log kahenge 25 ki umar mein hi budhdha hogaya mai...(Abhijeet and others burst out in laughter on that)...
Suddenly Kapil came with a sad smile on his face…
ACP murmured under teeth : Aagaya fir se...huhh ! DIG smiled at it teasingly..
Kartik : Kya hua sir aap pareshan lag rahe hai…
Kapil sir (sadly): Beta 150 ka target hai 15 overs mein aur unki bowling upar se swinging conditions kahan se banege batao…
Kartik (laughed at him): Sir dekhte jayie ab to hum dono kya karte hai bass opening pe hume bhej do...Abhijeet smiled at him broadly…
Kapil sir (confused): Aise kya karne vale ho bhai jo hum ye match jeet jayenge…
DIG sir (confused too): Aur kya bata ke jao…
Abhijeet shared a hi-fi with Kartik : Why fear when we are here !...
ACP sir (confused): Par karoge kya…
Kartik (looked into his eyes): Abhi pani ki baarish ho rahi hai fir sixes ki baarish hogi crowd mein bethke catch karna aap log (he winked at them) Kyun Abhi...Abhijeet nodded at him...both went for padding up leaving confused elders behind…
In Field (parallel scene ):
Arjun ( To Daya ): Abe jao covers uthao aur jahan jahan pani hai na saaf kardo jake….
Daya ( with an open mouth ): Pani bhi saaf karna padhega ab..
Arjun ( In tease ): Haan ji bhai sahab aur pitch pe roller bhi chalana padhega firr duty khatam hogi tumhari...
Daya ( In annoyed tone ): Par ye mai kyun karu haan ?! Senior Inspector Daya hun main…
Arjun ( In tease ): Ye to gun lane se pehele sochna chahiye tha bhai sahab...Achcha hua stadium mein cold drinks nahi bola dene ko varna tumse phele bhi aaya tha usse to ye bhi karvaya tha maine…( casually biting his nails ) chahte ho to kar sakte ho ye bhi…
Daya ( hurriedly ): Nahi itna kaafi hai karta hun na…
Daya along with other grounds men started taking off the covers from the ground and after taking off the covers they started wiping the water on the grass . When the ground was dry Arjun offered a big roller to Daya…
Daya ( In shock ): Isse karna hai itne bade se…
Arjun ( casually ): Haan bhai aur kya ab India ke captain ne bola hai bade roller se pitch roll karni hai to karo aur itna weight hai tumhara kaam karo maze se…( sternly ) aur dhayan se 7 minute se zyada hua na to tumse sare match mein karvaunga rolling…
Daya in shock to avoid further snubbing from him took the roller quietly and started rolling the pitch quietly...After 7 minutes ,
Daya ( In tired tone ): Ho gaya ab jau…
Arjun ( In tease ): Haan jao agle match se gun mat lana…
Daya nodded in frustration and went from there by stamping his feet in anger…
In commentary box :
Michael Atherton : Hey ! guys back after a long break so we are here INDIA needs 150 runs in 15 overs at the RUN RATE OF 10 PER OVER...against the likes of TIM SOUTHEE , TRENT BOULT and MATT HENRY...so let's see will the MEN IN BLUE can beat this mighty KIWI attack and secure their position in semi final…
David Lloyd ( with a excited smile ): INDIAN BATSMAN are out their in middle and looks like there is change of strategy for them KARTIK is opening with ABHIJEET and let's welcome ex AUSTRALIAN CAPTAIN MICHAEL CLARKE in the commentary box…
Michael Clarke : Dude very excited for the chase , I am really excited to see how our young and cute captain will tackle this mighty bowling attack...as usual CAPTAIN KANE gave the ball to TRENT BOULT and our captain is on strike…
David Lloyd : Oh here comes the first bowl ! HE RUNS ! LANDS ON THE CREASE ! AND BALL GOES FOR A BOUNDARY…
Michael Atherton : WHAT A START! Superbly driven through on side ! nothing wrong with the delivery but that was pure CLASS from INDIAN CAPTAIN…( laughing a bit ) Oh god ! a glare from BOULT hahaha amazing contest between these two…
David Lloyd ( with an excited smile ): OH GOD ! a bumper from him which is ducked by ABHIJEET...and here he comes again , He just loves to storm through, I guess if he had a car, he would probably start it in the 4th gear'.For a moment the umpire had his heart in his mouth, If he had not ducked in time he might have had the ball in his mouth too' both of them laughed at it loudly...
Michael Atherton ( dancing madly ): WANKHEDE ERUPTS WITH JOY and me too oh god SIX again flawless batting from ABHIJEET…
Michael Clarke : Oh god BUMBLE see the faces in the dressing room , It seems they got their lost power back…
In Audience :
Audience started jumping up with joy as after first over their team were 14 for no loss….
DIG sir ( in excitement ): Bhai ye log iski baat kar rahe the pehle over mein his 14 maar dale…
ACP sir in excitement : Sirrr ! aur nahi to kya shorts dekhe hai umpire baal baal bachcha hai ( In fake sadness ) bichara…Arpita laughed at it..
Arpita ( with a sigh ): Phele mai bachti thi shots se ab umpire bach raha hai huhh !
