Dravid & Dada

It’s late, PWI have beaten an already defeated KXIP. The players return to the hotel, Dada pacing up and down in his hotel room, and before he knows what he’s done, he’s already dialed D for Dravid.

Dravid (sleepily): Helloh…

Sourav: Rahul…are you awake…I just had to call..you’re awake right? We beat Punjab tonight and you guys beat…

Dravid (rubbing his eyes) KKR

Sourav: Yeah, it’s just like you said in the Bradman oration…what was that…Like a few creaking…

Dravid: ..terminators…we’re back…

Sourav: Gotta say, this ain’t easy but the key is to open the innings…

Dravid: Totally..

Sourav: bat 20 balls…

Dravid: at run a ball…

Sourav: In the powerplays

Dravid: couple of boundaries…

Sourav: don’t bother about the singles

Dravid: Only get run-out…

Sourav: Y’kno Rahul it’s cool to be captain again…

Dravid: yeah..and for a change I’m not your deputy

Sourav: Wadaya think of Viru and Gauti?

(In chorus): They-can’t-think!

Sourav: Gauti bowled Abdulla for only 2 overs today…

Dravid: Yeah, I was there…

Sourav: why would he do that?

Dravid: Think he could finish the match a lot earlier….

Sourav: ha…anything on Sachin’s finger…
