Slowly as the day's passed a slight difference in virat was easily visible to mahi bhai and Rohit. Not that he disrespected anyone or behaved bad with the team.

Virat wasn't so interested in practice session, nor in gyms. He was being carefree which was not virat's attitude.

Mahi didn't know what to do or why this changes were happening all of a sudden??

Batting coach Sanjay Bangar called MS.

Coach - mahi is everything ok with virat

Mahi- I guess but what's wrong sir

Coach - he is someone who never missed practice session, he is someone who was very particular about his diet. He was very serious on his performance. But seems like he is taking all of it very lightly now a days. And something that shocked me is when I spoke to him yesterday.

Mahi- what happened yesterday?

Coach- I was telling him about next match with Bangladesh, and you know what he said.. He Said that Bangladesh se match hai sir, it's no big deal I can make tons with ease. I don't have to practice for them..

Mahi- ye cheeku ne bola? Are you sure?

Coach- I understand what you might be thinking mahi. And knowing virat I am as shocked as you are. He has the potential to become the best mahi, make sure he doesn't lose his way

Mahi- ji coach

He didn't know what to do? Why this changes all of a sudden?

It was not that he didn't notice the change but his cheeku never disrespected anyone. Never kept his head high, but the change in him was that he was being very careless about his own performance. Virat was like he can beat anyone under the sun..
This overconfidence would prove to be harmful for him.

But tomorrow was first test against Bangladesh.

Virat got out for 34 in the first innings. Rohit went to him.

Rohit- hota hai vi, next time tu century banayega

Virat- I am not worried about it ro. Mene galat shot maratha, warna wo ball itna accha nahi tha ki muje out karde

Rohit- tera Dimag karab hai kya? How can you be so calm? And what's got into you?

Virat- i didn't know my potential until guthi bhai told me ro. He told me that I can beat any bowler under the sun, I am so fit that I don't have to break a sweat in gym and I bat so well that I don't have to practice.. He

Rohit- what's wrong with you? Koi kuch bhi bolega aur tu manlega?

Virat- what do you mean to say ro? Am I not good?

Rohit- I never said that!

Virat- then what do you want to say?

Rohit- vi meri baat suun, trust me I know you are one of the best. I can never wish bad for you

Virat- I trust you more than I trust myself idiot. Abb guthi bhai ka call aya hai I'll come wait

Rohit- hmm

Virat walked out but he turned to Rohit and screamed

"Ro tu mera best friend hai yaar"

Rohit just smiled at his bestie.

Mahi bhai had heard the entire conversation. He was fuming with anger.

The day came to end with India 250-3

MS called dada

Dada- mahi, how are you kiddo?

Mahi - not good

Dada- kya huva?

Mahi - app yaha avo, I want you here right now

Dada- par baccha baat hai kya? And you know I am in England with Sachin for his tennis elbow surgery. How am I supposed to be there right now 🤣

Mahi- muje nahi pata 😣

Dada- huva kya hai?!

Mahi - ok then I am going to video call you.

Dada- even sachin want to talk to you, chal call kar

Video chat;;

Sachin- kya huva mahi?

Mahi told them every thing that was going on..

Dada- give me ten mins mahi, I'll call you back.

MS was walking too and fro waiting for dada's call.

Dada called back exactly after ten minutes..

Mahi- ha dada! Why did you cut the call? Yaha me itna Pareshan hu aur app

Dada- calm down mahi! I had called my source to find out where and with whom virat is now a days

Mahi- mene bataya na apko Gautham ke saath

Dada- mahi baccha will you listen to me first🤦🏻‍♂️

Mahi kept finger on his lips

Dada- so as I got to know that Gautham is in regular touch with Sanjay Manjrekar

Mahi- so here it is! What's his problem with my kids dada? Kyu wo cheeku ke career barbad karna chahtha hai??

Dada - he can't see anyone happy I guess.. But now you have to save your cheeku mahi

Mahi- but how dada? If I tell him not to meet guthi then guthi will easily manipulate cheeku saying something or the other?! But the big question is how did guthi come into this disgusting plan of sanjay?

Sachin- guthi was depressed on not being able to get a place in the team. Guthi just needs proper guidance, I'll take care of him. But Sanjay took advantage of the situation..

Mahi- abb muje kya karna chahiye dada

Dada- ok then listen to me carefully mahi. Now you have to become strong for virat

Mahi- you are scaring me dada

Sachin- mahi kiddo we all know Virat's capability. But to transform capabilities into performance he has to walk on the right path.. And being his big bro it's your responsibility to ensure he is in right way

Mahi- hmm, so me kya karu? I am confused. Cheeku baccha hai abhi usko kud samaj nahi araha hai how someone is using him..

Dada- ok then, jo me bolunga wo karo..

Mahi- I'll do anything dada

Dada- from now on be very I mean very strict with virat. Make sure you remain as Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni not his mahi bhai. Make sure you get him back in track. Even if it takes speaking a little harsh to him.

Mahi- what? But why???

Dada- suno bacche, when we make mistakes our parents go strict with us. They may punish us but doesn't mean they don't love us right. In the same way you have taken up the responsibility of being virat's elder brother. Whatever you are doing is for his betterment.

Mahi-*tears in eyes* what if he hate me dada?

Dada- no one can hate my Mahi. And be rest assured that once your cheeku understand why you are doing this he'll himself get back to his old self. Par tab tak tumko strong rehena hai

Mahi-*low voice* I'll try😞

Sachin- mahi bacche fikar maat karo sab sahi hoga kuch galat nahi hoga..

Mahi- I hope so paji

Dada- ja jake toda rest kar, baki baate kaal karenge

Mahi- good night dada

Dada- good night kiddo

End of the video call::

Dada- I wish I was there with him

Sachin- it's good you aren't there

Dada- what do you mean?

Sachin- he will always be our lil boy Sourav but now he is also a big brother. Let him handle this situation by himself

Dada- but mahi abhi chota hai

Sachin- ya ya I know 🙄

Dada- don't be so mean 😣

Sachin- trust me Sourav mahi sab sambalega..
