The Indian team bus was moving towards the stadium in Mumbai. It is radiating a very tense environment, unlike usual. Kids were sucked down into the seats, pretty uncomfortable, scared to even make the slightest sound. Vi and Ash exchanged silent worry every few moments with little disappointment.  MS breathes out of the window, trying to calm his nerves and let out his frustration. You won't see MS Dhoni angry every day, but it is also not every day that his kid disappears before the match to prove his stupid point.

"Bhaiii, mai akela javunga aur itna late avunga ki you all will be scared."  

"Yashashvi and Virat, you both are opening today.  Shubman, you are one down. Keep your mind prepared." Ravi Sastri's angry, loud voice. 

"Ro gonna be dead meat," Virat whispers to Ash. Angry Ravi Bhai is no joke. 

MS signs. He, like everyone else on the bus, knew that they would find Rohit at the stadium as soon as they reach, but he supported Ravi Bhai with all his heart. He shouldn't get away with such stupidity, and not letting him play is the perfect punishment for rohit. 

MS shaking his head of all those thoughts, walks to Yashaswi, not wanting the kid to go into the game with all this drama, Talking it down helps.

 MS stood in the dressing room, staring at the ground as the Indian team was fielding, not registering anything about the match or crowd.

Rohit Sharma hasn't come yet. 

The crowd was mad and disappointed. No one understood, why they wouldn't play Rohit Sharma in such an important match. Every and any match against Pakistan is important. Very soon after the match, Virat had to answer that question. They should tell the world that Rohit Sharma didnt show up to the match, but that's not what MS is worried about. 

He knew It's not possible that Ro would willingly miss a match, let alone abandon it like this.

"Where are you, little Ro? Just be safe, please." MS thought for nth time, trying to push away all kinds of bad thoughts.

*******

Rohit opens his eyes with great difficulty, fighting to keep them open, trying to register where he is. All he could feel was a hard floor beneath him and a greasy, dusty smell.

He tried to move, but his body refused as he moaned with sharp pain all over his body. 

Just like that, before his eyes could get accustomed to the light around him, they were closed again.

"Maaa," he winces in pain before passing out, like every person on earth, hoping that she would miraculously come and take the pain off.
