*Later that night an unexpected talk has taken place*

*As the sky was looking pretty ishan thought of standing out on the balcony*

Ishan: (gazing at stars) What a Beautiful night.

(Suddenly Shubman went near Ishan without making any noise)

Shubman: (leaning against the railing) Yeah, the kind of night that makes you forget about the cricket chaos.

*The terrace, bathed in the soft glow of the moon, provided an unexpected sanctuary away from the bustling world of international matches.*

Ishan: (thoughtfully) Mayank's gestures, the cheesy moments... it's all a bit much, right?

Shubman: (raising an eyebrow) Coming from you, buzzhead? I thought you enjoyed the drama.

Ishan: (smirking) Drama on the field is one thing. This feels different.

*Shubman, sensing an opportunity for a genuine conversation, set aside their usual banter.*

Shubman: (softly) Different how?

Ishan: (pausing) It's like... he's trying too hard, and I'm not sure if it's about cricket or something else.

Shubman: (nodding) Maybe he's just trying to be a good teammate. Or maybe there's more to it.

Ishan: (looking at Shubman) What do you mean?

Shubman: (shrugging) People do strange things when they're trying to figure out what they want.

*The moonlight cast shadows on the terrace, reflecting the unspoken emotions that lingered between them.*

Ishan: (looking away) You've been different too, Shubman.

Shubman: (raising an eyebrow) Different how?

Ishan: (pausing) Less taunting, more... understanding. What's going on?

*Shubman, caught off guard, found himself grappling with the realization that their banter might have masked a deeper connection.*

Shubman: (softly) Maybe we're all just trying to figure things out. Cricket, love, life—it's all a game with uncertain outcomes.

Ishan: (smirking) Philosophical much, huh?

Shubman: (smirking back) Just trying to keep up with your deep musings, buzzhead.

*As the moonlit terrace talk unfolded, the uncharted territories of their hearts were laid bare, creating a moment of connection that transcended the boundaries of rivalry and hinted at a shared journey of self-discovery.*
