Rishabh's PoV

***

I smacked Ishan on the head, and Shubham (Mavi) laughed at my expense.

"It's true! You drool in your sleep." Ishan winced and nursed the spot, the grin not leaving his face.

"Have I ever spoken about your sleep habits, Mr.Captain?" I glared fiercely at him, Washington Sundar stifled a snicker and continued bowling. Our Coach, Rahul Dravid, coughed.

"Unless the three of you plan on continuing this fascinating conversation about Rishabh's sleeping habits, can we practice?" Rahul Sir raised an eyebrow, his eyes were twinkling with mischief. Shubham nodded briskly and took off toward where a practice match was taking place. The usual professional look on Coach's face melted away, being replaced by a fatherly pride.

"Disha!" He smiled, looking beyond my shoulder. I turned to see a girl with doe brown eyes. Her facial features were well defined and sculpted, overall, she was very beautiful.

"Are you asleep? Because your drooling again." Ishan's teasing voice cut through my thoughts, I whipped around and glared at him once more.

"Chacha!" She smiled, her lips curved into a mischievous smile.

"Tum Yahan Kya Karahi Ho, Disha?" Rahul Sir stepped forward and pulled his niece into a hug.

"One of Papa's friends live near here," She said as though it explained everything, while I just stared at her.

"Papa bhi yahan hai," She added, and another man was striding toward them. Disha turned and waved to him, and the Uncle waved back.

"Stop staring," Ishan pinched me and mumbled under his breath.

"She's the coach's niece, if he caught you staring imagine what he'd do!" Ishan warned, and I snorted with disbelief.

"I was just observing her," I retorted and glared daggers at my friend, who mimicked me.

"I was just observing her," He mocked with a ridiculously high-pitched voice. "Tell that to the drool edge of your mouth!"

Rahul Sir turned around to face the two of us, bickering.

"Go practice," He ordered and I nodded before taking off toward the pitches, Ishan trailing behind me.

Disha... Interesting...
