Leaning back in relaxation, the cabin hummed with quiet anticipation as fifteen minutes remained before departure. A casual stroll towards the first-class and business section revealed two familiar faces – Aakash Chopra and Jatin Sapru. A brief conversation followed, punctuated by Aakash’s signature humour, drawing laughter that lingered even after returning to the seat. Just as the trip seemed to have reached a perfect conclusion, an unexpected surprise awaited, ready to make it even more unforgettable.
Suddenly, a ripple of excitement swept through the left side of the plane. Passengers leapt from their seats, astonishment written across their faces. Within moments, phones were out, capturing the scene as if a superstar had just boarded the flight. Lost in a whirlwind of thoughts, wondering who had sparked such a reaction, the murmurs finally became clear: “Rohit, Rohit…”
Curiosity led to movement, and there he stood – Rohit Sharma, in all his effortless charm, accompanied by his family. Dressed in casuals, sporting a quiet smile, Rohit looked every bit the champion who had just conquered the world. There was no air of arrogance, no overwhelming celebrity aura, just the composed demeanour of a man who lets his bat do the talking. A moment of awe, before instinct took over. A request for a picture followed – not as a journalist chasing a story, but as an admirer lost in the magic of an unexpected encounter. Cradled in his arms was his newborn son.
He was settling into his seat with his family when a quick signal indicated to return after a short while. Uncertainty lingered over whether another chance to meet him would come, leading to a return to the seat. But the inner fan refused to stay put for long. With hope in the air, another approach was made, and just like in the Champions Trophy final, Rohit didn’t disappoint.
A couple of pictures were taken, followed by a heartfelt congratulatory message for the victory. The Indian skipper acknowledged it with a warm smile and a gracious ‘thank you.’ A queue had already begun to form behind as eager fans awaited their moment with the star opener. Soon, the cabin crew stepped in, requesting everyone to return to their seats as they ensured order around Rohit.
Still relishing the moment shared with the Indian captain, the pictures were quickly sent to various groups. The reality of the encounter was still sinking in. As soon as the picture with the ‘Hitman’ was posted, editor-in-chief Boria Majumdar asked for congratulations to be conveyed to Rohit. And so, the search for the perfect opportunity began once again. Noticing a brief window with no one around Rohit, an approach was made to introduce the affiliation with RevSportz. Upon hearing the editor-in-chief’s message, Rohit responded with a warm smile and said, “Shukriyaan kehna unko meri taraf se [Thank him on my behalf].”
Just 24 hours earlier, he was at the crease, crafting a masterful innings to secure India’s triumph. Now, mere hours later, he sat just a few seats away, sharing the same flight. If this isn’t the fabric of dreams, what is?
