Chapter 22 :
In Commentary box :
David Lloyd , Virender Sehwag , Michael Atherton were in the commentary box…
Virender Sehwag : Ouhhhh ! jaffa what a ball Kartik was saved by an inch there...
David Lloyd ( exclaimed with joy) : Guys I believe 6's and 4's are new binary digits for this lad . Just like computers which understand languages in the form of 0's and 1's , he also understands language of 6's and 4's...Awesome man !..
Virender Sehwag (picked up the mic and turned towards them) : Brooo ! He is awesome as he is a Indian , Indian's are always awesome and they always do wonders in their life...Michael Atherton shook his head in a disappointed smile..
David Lloyd : Wowww ! NEW ZEALAND seems to be worried just after 2nd OVER , THAT'S amazing..
Michael Atherton : "Oh he's hit this one miles, great shot OHHH IT'S A BIGGIE, straight over the top, the little man has hit the big fella for six. He's half his size! And he's smashed him down the ground, what a player…. WHAT A WONDERFUL PLAYER!
David Lloyd(simultaneously matching Michael Atherton's excitement): HE'S PUT THAT AWAY, OR HAS HE? YES, INTO THE CROWD!
Virender Sehwag : It's just third over of the innings and India are 28 for no loss , Kartik has scored 4 runs and rest 24 are scored by our LITTLE MASTER BLASTER ABHIJEET ! commendable performance YOUNG LAD…
In Field (parallel scene):
Kartik was on strike while Tim Southee came for bowling , he took his run up and bowled his first ball and ball rarely missed the leg stump…
Abhijeet came near him : Bhaii iski swing ho rahi hai kaafi dhayan se nikal do over (Kartik nodded at him) vaise bhi iske do hi over as tin hi daal sakte hai na 15 over ka match jo hai…
Kartik ( bowing down in front of him a bit) : Jo aaghya shriman aap ka hukum (thinking about the word he spoke sheepishly) ye nacheez pura karega... ( Abhijeet started laughing at him loudly while a shy smile appeared on his face)...
He carefully played his over and the strike changed Abhijeet is back on strike and Matt Henry came for bowling…
He took his run up and bowled a outside off delivery wide outside the leg stump so Abhijeet just lofted that one over cover and it went for a huge six…
And the crowd just burst into loud cheers with that shot…
He again took his run up and bowled a yorker which was defended safely by our captain..he again defended the other two balls as he was continuously bowling yorker length..
He again tried to bowl the same line and length but Abhijeet took two steps forward and it straightaway went for a long six over the bowler's head…
In Audience :
Audience bursted in loud cheers when they saw two sixes after a blank over . Some people were flaring Indian Flags in pride while faces fell completely on New Zealand's supporters…
Boy ( With an excited smile ): Woohoo ! guys shots kya mast hai uske…
Boy 2 ( matching his excitement ) : Bhai ! Amazing yaar baas iss Kartik ki vajah se usps pressure na pade aur out na hojaye vo agar vo 15 over tak raha na tab to hum jeet hi jayenge….
Girl ( rolling her eyes ): Ye aap keh rahe hai jo isse phele keh rahe the unki batting mein ki Pakistan ke sath uska tukka lag gaya tha ( he immediately downed his head )..
ACP sir in excitement : WONDERFUL woww ! kya mast shots hai dekhe tumne Arpita…do sixes wow...
Arpita with a proud smile : Haan ACP sahab dekh rahi hun dekhna aaj bhi mera beta hi jeetayega match….
DIG sir murmured in anger : Haan haan ab bada garv ho raha hai uspe tin saal pehle to baat tak nahi sunni thi uss bichare ki aur aise ghar se bahar nikal diya jaise tumhara kuch lagta nahi hai vo( Arpita and ACP looked at him in hurt-pain , their hearts were immediately filled with extreme guilt and their eyes become teary )...
In Commentary box :
David Lloyd : "This is high...what a six...what a six!
Michael Atherton : KABOOM ! it sounded like that , it was GIGANTIC KARTIK fired that…
Virender Shehwag : OH MY GOD ! that was out of the STADIUM and surely landed on JUHU beach…."When He Hits It, It Stays Hit"
David Lloyd : Let's welcome Tony Greig into the commentary box…
Tony Grieg ( With an excited smile ) : I am loving this game guys...hello everyone…That was a tremendous six. The ball was still in the air as it went over the boundary."
David Lloyd : Bro ! just 5 overs have gone and INDIA are 40 for no loss…That ball went so high it could have got an air hostess down with it...all three of them laughed at it…
Tony Grieg : Will continue the match after drinks...what a busy day for the young man….so here 12th man comes with the bottles...
In field :
Kapil came with the 12th man…
Kapil sir proudly : Bhaii tum dono ne 40 maar diye 5 over mein 110 aur maarne hai (sadly ) 11 ka run rate hai beta..
Kartik (In excited smile said teasingly) : Sir why fear ( lightly slapping Abhijeet's head) when chota Tendulkar is here…
Both of them nodded their heads in disappointment at his level of nautanki..
Abhijeet (glaring him hard): Kabhi to serious ho jao aap…
Kartik ( In annoyed tone): Wo kaam tera hai mera nahi...( Abhijeet looked at him furiously before he could eat him raw Kartik added hurriedly)Mai chala batting karne tu bhi jaa dusre end pe bye ( Abhijeet looked at him with a open mouth while Kapil laughed loudly at them)..
Kapil went from there after patting his back…
In Commentary box :
Tony Grieg : Guys we are back after drinks…and with me Virender Sehwag and Rahul Dravid are present…
Virender Sehwag(In Rahul Dravid's ear) : Matchsticks are not responsible, but Abhijeet is responsible for the fire in the ground (He laughed at it)
Rahul Dravid (smilingly): Bhaii iss bachche ne dil jeet liya hai mera sachchi...chal dekhte hai isko…
Both of them sat on either side of Tony Grieg…
Tony Grieg : Here comes SANTNER , bowls a googly and it's out of the PARK with a GIGANTIC hit over the SQUARE LEG , WHAT A SPECTACULAR CATCH in the AUDIENCE…..
Rahul Dravid : He deserves an AWARD for A BEST CATCH OF THE TOURNAMENT…
In Audience :
Boy ( with his hands in air ): Bhaii Abhijeet ke shot wali ball ka catch kiya maine woww...( his friends jumped on him excitement and he threw the ball back on the field...)...
ACP sir in excitement : Wahhh ! 46 hogaye 5.1 mein mast khel rahi hai humari team…( DIG was jumping every time with joy when his tiger hits a six or a four while Arpita was present their with a cheerful-thrilled smile on her face looking at her son who was playing so well for INDIA and he is going to take them to world cup final..Whole Country was praying to see their team in first ever semi final in their cricketing history...)...
In Commentary box :
Tony Greig( stood up in excitement) : Went like a TRACER BULLET , straight down the GROUND…
Rahul Dravid : NEW ZEALAND are having the CONFERENCE MEET , they are in bits , and WANKHEDE is on his feet…
Virender Sehwag : Right on the money and straightaway hit his pads , NEW ZEALAND are appealing this , IS HE OUT ?, YES GIVEN , FINGER GOES UP , WILL HE REVIEW IT , YES Tony Grieg : Ultra edge shows no bat involved , Pitched in line, impact in line , Wickets missing YESS ! Abhijeet survives…
Rahul Dravid : The Indians are going to beat the Kiwis! Let me tell you, my friend, that the Kiwi is the only bird in the whole world, which does not have wings!...
Tony Grieg : CRUNCHED IT , THAT IS SUPERBLY TIMED , straight through the mid on and IT GOES STRAIGHT above the fielder who has no chance , CLASS was embossed on it in BOLD…
In Field :
Matt Henry bowled his next ball and Abhijeet hit it for a four straight past the bowler on the side screen . Now , Kane Williamson comes up to the bowler to have a word with him . After that he bowled his next ball and it hit on his pads , New Zealand appealed to the umpire…
Matt Henry (sat on his knees in excitement and appealed): HOWZATT !
Umpire after thinking twice raised the finger out…New Zealand were jumping in excitement seeing the decision….
Abhijeet looked at him with an open mouth and straightaway signals review while Audience were in great shock seeing their best batsman out . There was an uncanny silence in the whole stadium with that decision…but the crowd burst into loud cheers seeing the decision of the third umpire…
Kartik (came near him): Ye umpire ne bhi kya decision diya hai achcha hai bhai review karliya…
Abhijeet ( smiled): Wohi to height nahi dikhayi di inko..
In Audience :
DIG sir ( stood up in tension seeing the umpire's decision): Ye kya hua ek dum se out kaise de diya usne…
ACP and Arpita looked at each other in tension but the decision by the third umpire gave them a bit of relief…
ACP sir ( sighed in relief ): Achcha hua review kar liya usne…
Arpita ( nodded at him but after seeing the next shot her face glowed with excitement) : ACP sahab kya classical shot tha AMAZING….
Freddy ( smiled in excitement ): 6 over mein itne 60 run ho gaye…
Pankaj (counting on his fingers ):15 over the 6 hogaye... ( A soft laugh escaped through every one's mouth seeing him counting the overs on his fingers while he added scratching his head) 9 baki hai overs firr…
In Field :
Now , 9 overs have been passed and India are 85 for three . ABHIJEET was still there on one end playing on 49 while Vaibhav was there on the other end who had just faced two balls…
Out of those three wickets , one was taken by TIM SOUTHEE , other two were taken by TRENT BOULT…
Now the equation is INDIA requires 65 runs in 6 overs at 10.84 runs per over…
In Commentary box :
Tony Greig : India need 65 more to win , Abhijeet should play maximum of those 6 overs , as Vaibhav is pretty new to the crease who has only played 2 balls….
Ian Botham : The required runs are very much gettable and looks like a 50 50 here , It can go anywhere….
Nasser Hussain : Full, angling in, and flicked to fine leg , ABHIJEET is back there on strike…
Ian Botham : FOUR! Just short! Just short. Oh boy! ABHIJEET wants it to be checked but it is just short. SANTNER would have had his heart in his mouth for a second. What drama, what an anticlimax!Coming to the ball now, what did SANTNER just bowl there. He fires it outside off. He invites ABHlJEET to hit towards the short side and ABHIJEET does exactly that. He lofts it over covers. It bounces just inside the ropes and then goes over. A boundary signaled.
Tony Grieg : Fifty for ABHIJEET ! Another brilliant innings from him. He has played as the aggressor and done so brilliantly. Shorter and on middle, this is pulled towards deep mid-wicket for one. He raised his bat in style and the crowd rose on its feet to congratulate him...he continues his superb form...
Nasser Hussain :SIX! Smashed! Just the 55 needed now! Short and in the middle, it sits up to be hit. ABHIJEET pulls it hard over the mid-wicket fence for a biggie.
Tony Grieg : A slower one, fuller and outside off, it is carved through covers for one. A positive mindset by the two batsmen , Abhijeet keeps the strike 54 needed from 5…
In Field :
Vaibhav was on strike and he flicked the ball towards fine leg region for a single . Now, Abhijeet is back there on the strike . Santner bowled his next ball and Abhijeet hit it in the cover region . It just bounced on rope and it is given a boundary…
Fifty for him his fellow team mate Vaibhav came and hugged him tightly…
Vaibhav ( lightly slapped his head ): Century ke kitne percent hai bhai..( Abhijeet smiled shyly while he chuckled seeing his shyness )...
Next ball just after his fifty he hit it for a six , he cleared his front leg and slog swept it for a six…
In Audience :
ACP in excitement hugged Arpita : Fifty ! Yeyyyy !
Arpita with a proud smile : Waahhhh ! Fifty yippee...while DIG was jumping and recording the moment in his camera…
Pankaj ( clapped his hands in excitement ): Woww ! ab to lagta hai hum jeet jayenge Abhijeet ki bhi fifty hogayi na…
Audience started jumping in excitement seeing the batting...and their team is near to the first ever semi final in their cricket history ever…
In Commentary box :
Nasser Hussain : FOUR, MATT HENRY has an innocent smile like a 5-year old kid on his face because he is astonished that ABHIJEET was able to reach for this wide yorker. Wasn't a yorker really, turned out as a low full toss. Third man inside the ring, ABHIJEET threw his bat and smeared it in the pocket between the short third man and backward point…100 up for INDIA...
Tony Grieg : no run, smart. Saw HENRY winding up for the mow, slowed it up and held his length was ages early into it, ends up taking it on his right forearm
Ian Botham : SIX, jee! A miscued pull. But modern bats these days I tell you. Carries all the way for a maximum. HENRY can't believe it. Digs it short, gets a good bounce on it and ABHIJEET had to fetch it from outside off. Mistimed but enough wood on it to take it all the way over the cow corner,
Nasser Hussain : 1 run, fraction short and on off, ABHIJEET pulls along the ground to fine leg…
Ian Botham : OUT CAUGHT by WILLIAMSON ! Relief for NEW ZEALAND? Not sure. The WANKHEDE crowd are on their feet to give him a standing ovation. As he has supported Abhijeet so well and rotated the strike , Fired in flat and at the stumps,VAIBHAV is quick to transfer his weight back and play the pull, does not keep it down and picks out WILLIAMSON perfectly at deep mid-wicket. Struck it flat and hard, either side would have fetched him four , AARYAN is a new BATSMAN in , A good part about that ABHIJEET is back on strike…
Nasser Hussain : 1 run, extremely full, almost yorker length on the stumps, dug out to mid-on for a quick single…wow next over BOULT and ABHIJEET's contest…
Ian Botham : SIX, welcome BOULT ! Full and some width outside off, Abhijeet reaches out and literally chips that to sweeper cover with majestic timing! Amazing timing…
Nasser Hussain : wide, full delivery but down leg, missed glance down the wrong line, and signalled wide by the umpire….
Tony Greig : SIX, "Leg-side, leg-side. Save your legs" ABHIJEET picks his favourite spot. Full on leg, mowed effortlessly over deep mid-wicket…
Ian Botham : SWING and a MISS , OUTSIDE OFF he swung hard but missed it…
In Field :
Trent Boult came and bowled a full ball outside off , but Abhijeet swung it hard over the cover and the ball went for a huge six…
He bowled the next ball but it was way outside the tame line and it was a freebie for INDIA . He took his run up again and it was full on leg ABHIJEET cleared his front leg and it went over deep midwicket region for a six...Aaryan was seeing him with bewildered shocked expressions that he is hitting every ball for a boundary….
INDIA needs 28 runs in the last three overs at the run rate of 9.4 runs per over and TIM SOUTHEE and TRENT BOULT will bowl those two overs…
In commentary box :
Tony Grieg : SIX, wowww! It went so high that it could've taken down any Aircrafts in the vicinity if there were any. Pitched up just outside off, ABHIJEET was waiting for it and feasts. Backs away and nails it off the sweet spot to launch it over the cow corner…
Nasser Hussain : It has become so exciting now 22 runs in 1.5 overs amazing superb and I am chewing my nails...what a nail biting contest now...
End of the chapter :
