 STORY CONTINUES………

Rahul face turned red and he walked out of the room.

The next day, Srinivas, the best all- rounder of the team,did not
report……..
Rahul,also an all –rounder was the automatic replacement.James, the
rival captain, won the toss and elected to field.

MATCH STARTS……….
It was a thirty- over match
Greg and Sadiq opened the innings…….soon both were
out……
Rahul came in to bat when the score was97
for 7 in 23 overs.
 About Rahul……….
Rahul was a fighter.He was a brilliant fielder.He was not hugely talented. He rarely sparkled in
the field with huge scores or achieved sensational breakthroughs with his bowling. But when the
chips were down he was ever ready to contribute his might either with the bat or with the ball and in
the field.He was a figher in the true sense of the word.
ROLE OF RAHUL IN THE MATCH………………
Rahul was given ball by Imran for the
balling…..His first three deliveries were bang
on
target and James could not put them
away……crowd cheered……Rahul got little
confidence.
BUT…………….
Soon he was disappointed as James made manyruns
delivered by him…….
 RAHUL BALL

STONE
Rahul finally catches the ball
without thinking of getting hurt.He
had to make a choice – he could
either catch the ball and face the
risk of landing on the stone, or
avoid the stone and miss the catch.
He chose to catch the ball andthe
team won the match.
