YOU AND ME- Shubman Gill & Devdutt Padikkal ( NOT BL)

CHAPTER 15

"he is Devdutt Padikkal"

"When did the management approach him? He wasn't in the official player's list " Samyukta asked in curiosity " he was called last week by management I don't know the reason but he might play the next match against England" both girl's gave an silent node on hearing Shubman

" If you need any help regarding dev I can help you...he and I are good friends" on hearing Shubman's word's eda raised an eyebrow and asked " why are you so interested in this?"

As shubman was standing behind eda he leaned into her and whisper in her ears "How to wins girl's heart page 4, rule 17- always be in good sight and have a good relation with her close family and friends as they have huge influence " unknowingly an smile form on eda's face " shuuu don't....I can't effort others seeing this smile of yours not even walls"
Shubman said playfully make eda's smile grow even more

"God I'll be facing diabetes in future ... aren't you guy's being too sweet ?" saying it Samyukta left the sweet couple alone and started her workout

"Seems like that book was worth of buying " on hearing Shubman's word's the only thing eda could think of was hitting him which she did by aiming her elbow into his stomach and walked towards the treadmill

After 10 - 20 min devdutt left the gym and the whole plan which Samyukta made in her mind was wasted
She literally created an 3D image in her mind on how to start the conversation with him in the gym

In the training ground

Coach annouced that Devdutt will also be part of this tournament as everyone gathered in the ground
It's was an Sunny day and way too dehydrating

Eda, shubman, smrithi, jaiswal were batting in an row and Samyukta,Siraj, Hardik were bowling
After a while Devdutt joined them for batting now it was samyukta's turn for bowling

Dev was at strike-end and samyukta deliver an ball and the 1st ball itself was clean boult direct on to the stump's

Usually during practice section in nets the initial balls would be slow and easy to play but Samyukta's fast ball caught him off guard
Eda was shocked on seeing Samyukta's behaviour she prefers playing friendly in the initial balls in nets

Ishan: now do you guys understand how it feels to play with samyukta...... it feels as if she is aiming for the player head not the stump's.....it was so risky practising Yorker with her

Samyukta:  I agree that it was difficult for you but the result was amazing.....the way you faced Anderson's Yorker it was perfect

Devdutt: start bowling.....I can't lose atleast not in the net's

The next few balls went good since dev didn't let his guard go down he was defensive all the time

The practice section for today was completed and everyone joined for lunch

Dinning room

Eda and samyukta were serving themselves food

"What was that ?" Eda asked in pure horror "what was what ? " Samyukta questioned to which eda who was feeling confused and clueless asked " you always play friendly in nets atleast in the beginning... what's with you today in nets with dev?"

On hearing eda's word's an laugh left from samyukta
"I was just trying to know his strength and tactics as an player and don't worry I have no evil intention..... except for the fact that  I'll make him fall for me"
On hearing samyukta's confident word's eda asked in sarcasm " How? By getting him out on 1st ball?"

On taking a long breath samyukta asked" would be curious about an bowler who made you score more runs and let you hit six and four or  an bowler who didn't let you score runs and got you out that to an clean boult on 1st ball?" To which eda answer
"I would be curious about the bowler who took my wicket" and then an sudden wave of realisation hit eda and an huge smile form on her face

" If you are curious about an person you would think about that person.....if his brain is already busy in thinking about me then wouldn't it be easier for me to make him fall for me by using my charm " samyukta said while placing an bowl of fruits in eda's plate

" Genius" eda said in  pure suprise to which samyukta gave an wink and walked towards dev who was sitting in the corner table with Jaiswal and Rohit

" May I join you guys you wouldn't mind right?" Samyukta asked smiling at devdutt
" It's fine....join us "

Eda was serving herself some salad with an smile on her face which was far away from being controlled
" Do you need an souce topping?" Shubman asked eda holding the spoon with souce " not an huge fan of sauce " eda said taking an tissue to which shubham replied " Noted....NO SOUCE" on hearing Shubman's words eda couldn't control her laugh

Her laugh sounded like an melody for Shubman's ears, he would spend an eternity listening to her laugh but he didn't knew that he was staring  her

"Done staring?" Eda asked handing shubman tissue
" I'm not staring I'm admiring"  shubman said with an smile
