For the first time in his life—
Sahil felt cricket looking back at him.
Not with pity.
Not with mockery.
With possibility.
Over 8.2
Sameer slowed the ball slightly.
Sahil swung hard instinctively.
The connection felt horrible.
Bottom edge.
Yet—
THWACK!
The ball launched unbelievably high.
Straight onto Sharma Electronics’ roof.
SIX.
Silence swallowed Riverside Gully.
Even Sahil froze.
That shot made absolutely no sense.
The system appeared afterward.
