Virat parked his car in front of Mehta's residence and banged on his door. He was barely able to control his temper. He looked at his besties, they also had a murderous glint in their eyes. He turned towards Dada who held a expressionless face but his eyes were burning. He waited until the door was opened and saw Mehta's house servant standing there, looking kind of scared. Virat heard Dada ask him about Mehta. The servant told them to wait, he will call Mehta down. 

Mehta came down after a good seven minutes, all dressed in expensive Blackberrys clothes and shoes, as if he was called to go to any wedding or something like that. Virat couldn't help but roll his eyes at his show-off. Mehta looked apprehensive and hesitating at the sight of the whole ICT in his house, with Dada and Virat standing in a business stance. But he covered his hesitation quickly, as he greeted Dada like he was some long lost friend of his. Virat scoffed at his acting again.

"Hey Sourav, hey everyone, what a pleasant surprise!! How do I owe this pleasure?"

Before any of them could reply to his greetings, Mehta spotted MS behind Dada, and felt more scared than ever. He started to now grasp the situation. He had the gist that Dada is with MS as well. That was enough to shake his wits. But still gathering all the courage he had, he said, trying to spit venom, "Wow MS. Just Wow. I don't know how you are even able to show your face to us after all you have done. Aren't you even a little bit ashamed of yourself? I didn't know you can be so insolent."

Before he could continue any further, Dada grabbed him by his collar, punched his face and held against the wall. Virat swiftly turned towards Mahi, whose face seemed to lose colour visibly. He gripped his hand tightly and blinked his eyes in assurance before turning towards Mehta, who was almost being choked by Dada.

He strode towards them, separated Dada from Mehta and grabbed his collar himself and said in a deadly low voice, "Don't you dare if you want to remain alive" and pushed him back fiercely. Rohit came forward and threw all the evidences they had against him on his face. Mehta's eyes came out of their sockets. He couldn't believe the fact that these people have managed to get the original pictures and bank deeds which he was sure they had kept safely with them. The paper that contained the agreement between him and Sanjay was screaming at him that their game is over. 

"We know everything Mehta, every single thing. So don't even try to act smart", said Rohit, his eyes raining fire balls at Mehta.

"Your game is over for good. Now please explain why exactly you did this?", said Virat, clenching and unclenching his fists.

"I just don't know what you guys are talking about. MS fed you some sweet words and you got swayed by them. I'm sure he forged all these papers and photographs. After all if someone can commit a crime as match fixing, he can do anything. I just don't want to talk to you", Mehta spat, even if he was feeling out of wits, he did so, but the next moment he knew he shouldn't have said that. For Virat and Rohit punched him from both sides and Mehta was on the floor in seconds. Jinks and Bhuvi ran to hold the two of them back. They were scared, that both Virat and Rohit can do something severe, because  evidently their mental fuses had blasted hearing Mehta's words.

Mahi for the first time failed to say anything to stop Virat and Rohit as he himself was feeling on the verge of breakdown. Those words were again starting to trigger his troubled mind. Dada saw Mahi's stricken face and rushed to hold his kid in his arms and comfort him. 

After Jinks managed to calm Ro a bit, he turned towards Mehta and said, "See, I have stopped them from killing you one time, I'll not stop them if try to speak nasty again. We have enough evidence against you to hand you over to the police. Just tell why did you do this?" Since it was coming from Jinks, it sounded more intimidating than usual. Mehta shrank back seeing no escape. Virat signalled Krish to start recording. 

"Sanjay wanted to ruin MS. He didn't like the kind of respect and love he gets all over the world. The team also never questions him, including the captain. He thought that he didn't deserve all of the success which he was getting. All of the team looks at him as a hero, idol, whatever, he does not deserve this. Also, the people whom I wanted in the team were never backed by him, as a result Virat never considered them. So I joined hands with Sanjay, and he paid me well. We wanted to pit the team against MS. But, Don't know what magic has he done to them that they refused to believe a single word against him. So we forged the photographs, agreements and signatures and leaked it into the media. They are always waiting for news like these. We wanted him to be gone from the Indian cricket as a match fixer. We wanted everyone to hate him, criticise him", said Mehta. Virat tried to free himself from Bhuvi's hold and beat the shit out of that insolent creature, but Krish's men beat him to it. They grabbed Mehta from both sides who struggled to get out their hold.

"This confession video will be enough for charging this two. Now the BCCI will do their job", said Krish quickly typing something in his phone, "My men have seen Sanjay on the road leading here. So maybe he is coming here."

"Let's wait for him here only", said Virat looking at Bhuvi who nodded and let him go. Virat walked towards Mahi and squished him in a bone-crushing hug. "Now everything will be fine Bhai", he said. Mahi looked at Virat with teary eyes, as Virat wiped away his tears. 

The whole team and Krish looked at both of them fondly, until the beautiful moment was broken by the arrival of their culprit. Yes, Sanjay Manjrekar walked into the room and then looked completely stumped as he gazed at the team standing there and Mehta being held by two hefty men. 

"What's all this nonsense about?", he roared, that made his unbearable voice sound even more unbearable.

"Nonsense? I'll show you what nonsense is going on", said Virat, equally fiercely. He played Mehta's confession, and Sanjay's eyes went wide. He glared towards Mehta, who looked down. 

"You tried to ruin Mahi bhai's life by framing him as a match fixer, using forged documents. Now let me ruin your life using the real ones. And yeah we have the confession video too, in which your dear friend Mehta had accepted all your works. So don't try to act oversmart", said Virat looking directly into Sanjay's eyes. 

"And you believed him? What proofs do you have against me? I only wanted to uphold the reputation of the team. You guys have been blinded by the sweet façade of MS, but all he is, is a nasty manipulator. I seriously don't want to talk about it. Let me do my job", said Sanjay, completely unaware of the fact that they had conclusive evidences against him.

Virat didn't say anything. He walked up to Rohit, took some of the documents and thrust them in Sanjay's hands. Sanjay couldn't believe what he was seeing. He was sure that all the papers were with him, then how did they get it? He looked up and saw Virat standing in front, Hands folded and a deadly expression on his face. "Got all the evidences you needed?", said Virat, "Spill your beans", he roared at him.

Seeing no escape now, as he was cornered, he said, "Yes, I did all the fixing. Yes, I framed Dhoni. Because he doesn't deserve it. He doesn't. All of the respect, success, he doesn't deserve all this. And look at you all. All of you think him to be your hero, all of his juniors respect him to the end of the world. He does not deserve all this. So I did the fixing, produced the false documents and circulated them in the internet. The BCCI panel had no option but to ban him. He would have been out of team as a criminal for good...", he couldn't continue further as Yuvi smashed his face with a dizzying punch. Jinks didn't stop Virat and Rohit when they went to beat Sanjay, because he, in that matter all of them, had had enough of his verbal diarrhoea. The three of them pounded on Sanjay as if they wanted to kill him.

Krish closed his camera and said, "We got the confession video of both of them. It's enough to ruin them. I sent you the videos, Veer. You can use them in whatever way you want." Virat threw one last punch on Sanjay, before he looked at Krish and nodded.

Dada grabbed his neck and pushed him against the wall and said, "Now you will know the consequences of messing with my people, my family.", and walked out of the room without sparing a glance at those filthy morons, and the rest of the team followed.

Sanjay sat there registering what happened with him right now. It dawned upon him that he was finished. Yes, he still hated MS but he could not do anything about it. He was sure that he was going to be ousted and if he tried anything else, they would get him him arrested. And Sanjay certainly didn't want that.

The whole team returned to the hotel after dropping Krish at his office. Mahi personally thanked him for his help. They sat in one room and Virat developed the confession videos and sent it to the BCCI. Sanjay and Mehta should be out of there at any cost. He looked around and saw how shaken up all of them looked. Even he himself was shook by the incident but not showing. He took Mahi in a hug with his right hand and squeezed Jassi from his left side. That was obviously the cue for everyone to join the hug. When they parted away, Virat said to Mahi, "Mahi Bhai, everything's alright now. Those bastards will be out of our lives forever now. Please smile now, please" Mahi nodded and him, and for the first time in days, smiled. Virat's heart swelled with joy seeing the smile on Mahi bhai's face and his face lit up like a bulb. Both Yuvi and Mahi hugged their little brother, their Cheeku, who can go to extreme lengths for all of them, without once caring about himself. 

Everything was alright again, everything was normal or Virat thought so but there was one job still remaining.
