Chapter 12 : IPL Auction 2

Nitish was eagerly watching the TV during the IPL auction, waiting for his name to appear. However, he was disheartened to hear that many popular players went unsold this season. It was a stark reminder of the cut-throat competition in the world of cricket and the difficulty of making it to the top.

After waiting for three hours, Nitish's name did not come up, and he started to feel anxious. He decided to head to his academy and work on his bowling skills to take his mind off the disappointment. Nitish understood that the IPL auction was just the beginning of his journey, and he needed to focus on improving his skills and making a strong impression on the selectors in the upcoming seasons.

As he was practicing, Nitish forgot about his surroundings and immersed himself in his game. It was then that his friend Kalyani came running towards him with a smile on his face. Kalyani had exciting news for Nitish - he had been selected by one of the franchises.

Nitish couldn't believe his ears, and his excitement knew no bounds. He had been waiting for this moment for a long time, and his hard work had finally paid off. Kalyani congratulated Nitish and informed him that he would be playing for the Punjab Kings XI in the upcoming season.

Best friends are the backbone of our lives, the ones who stand by us through thick and thin, supporting us when we need it most. Nitish had such friends, who were always there for him, no matter what. These friends were Rutha, Yoshida, Dithya and Raj, and they were a constant source of strength for Nitish.

Nitish had always been passionate about cricket, dreaming of playing at the highest level. But his dreams had been shattered when he was not selected for his favorite team. However, he did not lose hope, and instead focused on his game, putting in hours of hard work and dedication.

His perseverance paid off when he was selected to play in the Indian Premier League (IPL), a professional Twenty20 cricket league in India. Nitish was thrilled, but he had no idea what was in store for him.

When Nitish returned home after his selection, his friends surprised him with a party, congratulating him on his achievement. Nitish was overwhelmed with emotion, but he had a habit of not checking his phone until he had completed his work. So, he did not know what was going on until his friends revealed that he had been sold for a staggering 7.25 crores.

The news hit Nitish hard, and he broke down in tears. But his friends were there for him, supporting him and cheering him up. They knew what Nitish had gone through, the struggles he had faced, and the sacrifices he had made to reach this point. And they were proud of him.

As Nitish and his friends celebrated this momentous occasion, they knew that their bond would only grow stronger. For they had been there for each other, through the good times and the bad, and they knew that they would always be there for each other in the future.

Their friendship was a testament to the fact that best friends are hard to find, harder to leave, and impossible to forget. They had each other's backs, and that was all that mattered.

In life, we all need someone to lean on, someone who will be there for us no matter what. And Nitish was lucky to have found such friends. They were his rock, his support system, and his family. And he knew that he could always count on them, just as they could always count on him.

As Nitish reflected on his journey, he knew that he had come a long way. He had faced many challenges, but he had never given up. And it was all thanks to the love and support of his friends, who had been with him every step of the way. For Nitish, there was no greater reward than their friendship, and he knew that he would cherish it for the rest of his life.
