Chapter 11 :


As the meeting began, Rohit, Virat, and Head coach Rahul Dravid presented their case, confident that the evidence they had gathered would clear their names. Rohit handed over the USB drives to the ICC head, who began to review them.

The ICC head's expression changed from curiosity to shock as he watched the video on the USB drive.

ICC Head : "What is this?"( his voice stern) This appears to be a video of an Indian player engaging in ball tampering.

Rohit felt like his world was crumbling around him. He had been so sure that the evidence would clear their names, but now it seemed like it was doing the opposite.Its backfiring on them.

Rohit : This can't be real!

The Aussie coach were gloating now, their smug expressions making Rohit want to scream.

Andrew (Head coach of Aussies)"It looks like the Indians have been caught red-handed," (his voice dripping with sarcasm).

Virat : This must be a misunderstanding. we would never engage in such behavior.

But the damage was done. The ICC head looked like he had made up his mind, and Rohit knew that their team was in trouble.

The ICC head's words hung in the air like a guillotine's blade, ready to drop and sever Rohit's career.

ICC Head : "Rohit Sharma", captain of the Indian team, is hereby banned from international cricket for a period of 2 years, effective immediately.

(Author : My heart got pinched while writing this😫.)

Rohit felt like he had been punched in the gut, It seems he is about to got a panic attack his breath knocked out of him. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. Two years! His career, his passion, his everything was being taken away from him.

Virat : But sir, this is unfair...Rohit is innocent, we all know that....And we don't even know who is that player...his face is not even visible!

But the ICC head was unmoved.

ICC Head : The evidence suggests otherwise, Virat. And even don't know which player that is we can't let it go, the captain is responsible for his team's actions.

Rahul Dravid : This is a dark day for Indian cricket,(he said, his voice heavy with sorrow)

Rohit slowly got up from his seat, his eyes fixed on the ICC head. He felt like he was walking to his own execution, his heart heavy with grief. His career, his dreams, everything was being taken away from him.

He glanced at Virat and Rahul Dravid, seeing the disappointment and shock etched on their faces.

Rahul Dravid's expression was a mix of sadness and helplessness. He had always been a mentor and a guide to Rohit, and now he felt like he had failed him.

The room was silent, the only sound being the quiet rustling of papers and the soft hum of the air conditioner. The weight of the ICC head's decision hung in the air like a challenge, leaving Rohit's future uncertain.

As he turned to leave, Rohit knew that his life was about to change forever. He wondered what lay ahead, and whether he would ever be able to redeem himself in the eyes of the cricket world.His eyes went on his clothes that shirt Ritika gifted him...As he reminds her innocent face"I need you Mrs.Sharma I am breaking down..I can't let my life my cricket away from me"

Rohit walked out of the meeting room, his heart heavy with grief. The 2-year ban had shattered his dreams, and he felt like his career was over. As he walked away, he received a text message from Mitchell Marsh, the Aussies captain.

"Meet me at the nearby cafe. Come alone. -MM"

Rohit was taken aback.

******What could Marsh want to talk to him about....*****

Rohit : Is anytime left now after destroying my whole career what he want now...But I should go I won't let him go this easily he snatched my life from me my dreams my everything.(Tighting his palm his heart literally tearing in millions of pieces).

He decided to go, without telling anyone.

He called Rahul Dravid and Virat, telling them he needed some time to himself.

They didn't suspect a thing, and Rohit left for the cafe in his car.

Rahul : Hope he don't do anything silly.

The drive was a blur, his mind still reeling from the ban....He was completely broken at that point of time.

As he arrived at the cafe, he saw Marsh waiting for him.

He got out of the car and walked towards Marsh, his eyes locked on the Aussie captain. "What do you want, Marsh haven't you done yet...after destroying whole me! Rohit asked, his voice firm but laced with a hint of vulnerability.

Marsh smiled, a sly glint in his eye.

Marsh :Let's talk inside, Rohit. I have something to show you.

Rohit followed Marsh into the cafe, his mind racing with possibilities. What could Marsh want to show him? Was it some kind of evidence? A way to reverse the ban?

They sat down in a quiet corner, away from prying eyes. Marsh pulled out his phone and showed Rohit a video.

Rohit's eyes widened as he saw That video...He was completely shattered...he being unable to breath....It's more than his ban..................It's more than anything else........!!

*****What can be in that******any guesses
