The stadium thrummed with the fierce energy of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Amidst the Indian camp, I stood flanked by royal guards—Surya’s sister, a Rajput princess in silks and steel. Then I felt a gaze land on me. Across the boundary line, Pat Cummins, the Australian captain, had paused. His handsome face was all focus, all game-day intensity, but his blue eyes held mine a beat too long. He had no idea who I was, only saw a woman watching from the shadows. In that charged silence, something electric and tender passed between us, shifting the air itself.
