Everyone heard it n were proud of taani. While She again rushed to VP.

Taani - A... koi pani lao.

She ruffled n straightened VP's suit. VP drank water n was relieved.

Taani - sir aap thik to hai na?
VP - ha dear. M absolutely fine. N I know aj tum ye match jeet k rahogi.

Taani again gets nervous seeing his trust on her.

Taani - sir plz, Itna vishwas mat kijiye. Yaha mai khud bahot nervous hu.
VP - tum janti ho maine ye challenge tumhe qq diya.

She looks at him.

VP - qki I know.... Tum hi ho jo humare college ko jeeta sakti ho.

Taani smiles n simply nods.

They move towards the ground.

Nisha - OK guys. Pehle bowling apni hai... achha hi hai. Let's take our positions.

The match was of 10 overs. The both teams played really well.

Here taani was thinking - ye rey sir kaha reh gaye. Mujhe best wishes bhi nahi di.

Soon 1st innings gets over. St. Andrews makes 97 runs in 10 overs.

Nisha - let's go guys.

While swayam comes to wish taani.

Swayam - all the best behna.

Taani just hugs him tight.

Swayam - chal ab ja... late ho raha hoga.

Taani nods n leaves.

In St. Louis team taani, kriya, Sarah, sneha, nisha, sudo were the strongest players. They started hitting 4's n 6's.

Last 1 over was left. All were out except kriya n taani, while taani fall down during running.

All - taani!!!

Taani gets up taking the support of the bat. While all runs to her.

Swayam - taani!!! Tu.. tu.. thik hai?
Taani - ha Sam... m OK.

Taani - Aah!!!
Shivam - tera hath... ye to khoon nikl raha hai.
Sarah - ab taani khelegi kaise?
Taani - don't worry guys. M OK. Mai khel lung.
Shivam - taani tere right hand pe chot lagi hai. Batting kaise kar payegi.

She thinks for a while then takes a cloth n tightly wraps it around her elbow.

Taani - chal kriya. We have to win this match.

Kriya nods n they r back to the pitch.

All r looking at taani with concern, fear n nervousness.

Taani - sun.. mai 1 run lungi us k baad tu sambhal lena.
Kriya - cool.

She does as per plan. Now 5 balls her left for 8 runs. Kriya hits again but misses the chance to run.

4 balls - 8 runs.

Kriya again hits n they take a run.

3 balls - 7 runs.

Taani misses the next ball.

2 balls - 7 runs.

Taani - kanha ji. Aapne aj tak bina bole mera sath diya hai. Aj sabki umeede mujhse hai. Sabne mujhpe bhrosa kiya hai n mai wo bhrosa tootne nahi dena chahti. Isliye ab aap par bhrosa kar k hit karne ja rahi hu. Sath dena.

She hits the ball n the ball breaks the boundary line.
