Work Text:
It was a quiet, sunny morning at ICT's dorms. The warm rays of the sun streamed through the half-open curtains in Vi and Rohit's shared room. Vi, already dressed in his pajamas, stood in front of Rohit's wardrobe, his hands brushing past neatly folded shirts and perfectly hung jackets.
Despite having his own clothes, there was something about digging into his roommate's collection that felt oddly satisfying.
Vi: "What should I wear today?" he muttered to himself, pulling a shirt, then putting it back.
His eyes landed on something unfamiliar—a long black T-shirt, slightly tucked away behind Rohit's usual outfits.
Vi: "Huh? I've never seen this before." He pulled it out and held it up. "Looks cool, though. Guess I'll give it a try."
Slipping into the oversized shirt, Vi looked down at himself, frowning slightly as the fabric hung loosely around his frame.
Vi: "This is way too big for me... and for Ro, too! Since when did he start liking oversized stuff?"
Curious but unbothered, Vi adjusted the sleeves and stepped out of the room. As he made his way to the common area, he didn't notice Jassi standing nearby. Jassi turned to look at him and froze for a second before breaking into a grin.
Jassi: "Bhai? Why are you wearing Polly's T-shirt?"
Vi stopped in his tracks, blinking in confusion.
Vi: "What? This is Ro's shirt. Found it in his wardrobe."
Jassi's grin widened, and before Vi could say anything more, he burst out laughing, the sound loud enough to catch the attention of a few other dormmates passing by.
Jassi: "No way, bhai! That's Polly's T-shirt! He gave it to Ro bhai after the IPL as a keepsake or something!"
Vi's face scrunched up in a mix of disbelief and irritation.
Vi: "A keepsake? For what? To remember him after IPL?!" He folded his arms, clearly annoyed.
Jassi nodded, still laughing.
Vi: "Ugh, I don't want this unworthy thing on me!" Without a second thought, Vi began yanking the T-shirt off. "Completely ruined my mood!"
Some of the dormmates chuckled as they passed by, amused at Vi's dramatic reaction. Jassi leaned against the wall, shaking his head with a smirk.
Later, when Vi stormed off to change, Jassi sat on the couch in the common area, still chuckling about the whole scene. He pulled out his phone, scrolling to a picture he had taken earlier—Vi walking out confidently in Polly's oversized T-shirt, looking completely oblivious to its significance.
Jassi: "I don't know how you're going to take this, Vi bhai, but I feel like Polly would be over the moon knowing you picked his shirt without even realizing it."
He leaned back, staring at the picture with an amused grin.
Jassi: "Just wow. Who knew Vi bhai could accidentally pull off Polly's vibe so well?"
The thought lingered as Jassi saved the picture, already planning to tease Polly about this later. For now, though, he sat back, replaying Vi's reaction in his mind and chuckling to himself.
As Jassi sat in the common area, grinning at his phone, the sound of footsteps echoed in the hallway. Shrey, Rishu, Shub and Yuzi entered, while holding their mugs of coffee. Yuzi immediately noticed Jassi's expression and raised an eyebrow.
Yuzi: "Why are you grinning like that, Jassi? Did you prank someone again?"
Jassi: Still chuckling "No prank, Yuzi. Just... Vi bhai had an accidental fashion disaster."
Rishu: Setting his mug down "What do you mean by 'fashion disaster'? Did Vi bhai wear mismatched clothes again?"
Jassi: "Worse. He walked out wearing Polly's T-shirt, thinking it was Ro bhai's."
Shrey: Chokes on his coffee "Wait, Polly's T-shirt? How did that even end up with Ro bhai?"
Shub: "Oh, you didn't hear? Polly gave it to Ro after IPL as a 'keepsake.' Apparently, it's some emotional thing."
Rishu: Leaning closer, fascinated "And Vi bhai had no idea? What did he do when you told him?"
Jassi: "He freaked out, obviously. Called it 'unworthy' and stormed off to change."
Yuzi: Bursting into laughter "That sounds so much like him. Did he really not notice how huge Polly's T-shirt is?"
Jassi: Laughing "He noticed but thought Ro bhai had suddenly developed a thing for oversized clothes."
Before they could say more, Vi returned to the common area, now wearing one of his usual fitted T-shirts. His expression was a mix of irritation and embarrassment.
Vi: "What's so funny, huh? Talking behind my back?"
Yuzi: Still laughing "Not behind your back, bhai. Right in front of you."
Vi: Glaring at Jassi "You better not have taken a picture, Jassi."
Jassi: Faking innocence "Me? A picture? I'd never do such a thing, Bhaiya~"
Vi: "You're the worst liar ever. Delete it."
Jassi: Smirking "Why should I? I think Polly would love to see you rocking his T-shirt."
Vi: Groaning "Don't you dare send it to him! I swear, Jassi—"
Before Vi could finish, Others busted into another round of laughter. Just then, Rohit entered the common area, carrying a newspaper.
Ro: "What's all this noise? It's too early for your chaos."
Vi: Turning to Ro with a frown "You. Why do you have Polly's T-shirt in your wardrobe?"
Ro: Blinking in confusion "Polly's T-shirt? What are you talking about?"
Jassi: Grinning "The black oversized one. The 'keepsake' from your IPL teammate."
Ro: Realization dawning "Oh, that. Polly insisted I keep it as a memory. Why?"
Vi: Annoyed "Because I accidentally wore it and now these idiots won't stop laughing about it!"
Ro: Smirking "Well, maybe you should have checked whose clothes you were wearing. My wardrobe isn't a free-for-all, Vi."
Vi: "You didn't even notice it's not your size! Who keeps someone else's T-shirt like that?"
Ro: Shrugging "It's sentimental, Vi. Something you wouldn't understand."
Shrey: Under his breath "Ouch, burn."
Vi: Throwing a cushion at Shrey "I heard that!"
Yuzi: "But Ro bhai, why didn't you tell anyone? We could've had so much fun teasing Polly about it."
Ro: Sighing "Because it wasn't meant to be a joke. Unlike you all, some of us respect sentimental gestures."
Jassi: Still smirking "And yet, here we are, turning it into comedy gold."
Vi: Pointing at Jassi "I'm warning you, delete that picture, or you're going to regret it."
Jassi: Holding up his phone dramatically "You mean this masterpiece? Too late. Already saved to the cloud."
Vi: Chasing Jassi "Come back here! I'm deleting it myself!"
As Vi ran after Jassi, the common area erupted in laughter again. Rohit shook his head, muttering to himself as he sat down with his newspaper.
Ro: "This team's chaos never ends."
Shub: Grinning "And you love it, Ro bhai. Admit it."
Ro: Hiding a smile behind the newspaper "Hmph. Maybe."

No junk food is allowed; the law was enacted, which made youngsters very sad. They started to rant in their group chat.
Indian Chaotic Team (ICT) Group Chat
Yuzi wuzi: This is so unfair 😤
Hardik Styles: What unfair? Vi bhai usually says no to this? 🤔
Miyan magic: You don't know, Harry bhai, Vi bhai lets us have junk food sometimes 😋🍟
Boom boom: In your dreamland? 😆
Magician Shrey: What a burn!!! 🔥😂
Rishu the evil twin: Miyan, this is not a dream. Wake up! 😜

Ishu the sweet twin: Shabaz!!!! 🤗
Sha-bazz: What is it? Now? 😐
Hardik Styles: These people are saying that Vi bhai lets them have junk food? 🍕🍔
Dev the night owl: It's the truth actually bhaiya, Vi bhai lets us have some snacks after talking to Dad 😎🍫
Gabbar: Dad? 🤨
Hitman of cricket: Who is Dad? Woh kon hain??? 😲
Yuzi wuzi: Devu!!! You shouldn't have said that 😱
Swing king: Dev, run before these evil kids surround you 🏃♂️💨
Klassic me: Let them be, it's revenge from my side. This kid always comes for my bhai's attention!!! 😏👀
Dev the night owl: Kannu anna!! The betrayal, I'll make Quinny bro take my revenge from you 😤
Klassic me: Let's see that 😜
Sha-bazz: Ab is the dad that's referred to because he's always calm and supportive, plus he lets us have midnight snacks and cheat meal days too, even though Vi bhai says no 😌🍩
Harshal: I know right! But we can't do that now 😭
Sky has no sky limit: My idol is so cool ✨😍
Hitman of cricket: Sky!! Stop fanboying over him!! 😑
Boom boom: Ice cream treats? 🍦🍫
Sha-bazz: Duh!! 💅🏻
Hardik Styles: It's so unfair that Ro bhai can't even talk straight while looking into Vi bhai's eyes, there is no way bhai will argue with Vi bhai for our junk food allowance😳
Rajput naam hai mera: I mean Vi do have scary eyes when he's pissed off 👀😬
Gabbar: Scaredy panda😹
The group chat suddenly goes silent. Rohit (Ro) had been reading through the messages and his patience snapped. His fingers started to furiously tap on his phone, sending a message to the group.
Hitman of cricket: ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! GABBAR!!😤
Yuzi wuzi: What's up, Ro bhai? 😅
Hitman of cricket: What's all this nonsense about AB being the "parental figure" in the group? 😡 I'm literally the one who makes sure everyone's behaving and gets them to do the right thing!
Seeing Ro bhai's jealousy over AB, the ICT squad decided to tease him mercilessly, turning up the mischief to the max.
Sha-bazz: Uh, Ro bhai, everyone knows AB is the calm one, the one who keeps us grounded... He's literally the dad there. 😆
Hitman of Cricket: NO! I want to be the "parental figure" too not just "Responsible older brother", okay? Why is AB always the one in charge? 😤
Dev the night owl: But Ro bhai, you're always telling us what to do, like "Clean up your mess!" or "Don't sneak out!" 😜
Hitman of cricket: Exactly! I'm the one who makes sure things stay in line! Why is AB getting all the credit as the responsible one? I'm just as responsible and even more! 😠
Sha-bazz: Well, AB bhai does let us have snacks and midnight food without the "strict parent" vibes... He's just... cooler. 😂
Hitman of cricket: What? I can be cool too! I'm fun, but I also make sure you guys don't end up eating 10 pizzas in one night! 🍕😤
Gabbar: Ro, it's because AB has that "chill dad" energy. You have that "bossy older sibling" energy, but you're not dad material. 😏
Hitman of cricket: Gabbar, don't act Shana in front of me because, I AM Dad material! I just don't need to act all "calm and collected" like AB! I can be strict AND cool. I should be the "parental figure" too!
Harshal: So... you want to be the "fun parent" who still gets to be the cool dad, huh? 😂
Hitman of cricket: YES! Exactly! I'm basically the fun dad who teaches you all how to sneak snacks and still keep a schedule! 😎
Yuzi wuzi: Well, bro, the fact is... AB lets us eat those snacks when we've done our part... You, on the other hand, always show up and say, "You're eating what?! first pay food tax to me" 😆
Hitman of cricket: Because I care about your health by checking if it is healthy enough for you all, okay?! This is just so unfair. Why does AB get all the parental credit when I've been doing the heavy lifting? 😤
Swing king: Honestly, I don't know why you're so mad. Just let AB be the "dad," and you can be the "fun uncle" or something. It's cool. 😎
Hitman of cricket: I'm not the uncle, I'm the PARENT! I'll show you! I'm going to step up my game and be the coolest "parental figure" around here! Just wait. 😤
Yuzi wuzi: We'll wait... 😂
Sky has no sky limit: Ro bhai, you're already pretty cool! Don't stress. ✨
Hitman of cricket: Sky, stop sugarcoating things! I'm talking about actual recognition here! You all take me for granted! 😤
Gabbar: For granted? Ro, you made me run 20 laps last week because I didn't tie my shoelaces properly. That's not "fun dad" energy; that's more like "strict hostel warden" vibes. 😏
Hitman of cricket: Gabbar, you deserved it! What if you tripped and injured yourself? That's called responsible parenting!
Rishu the evil twin: Responsible parenting or overthinking uncle-ing? 😜
Hitman of cricket: RISHU, STOP TALKING OR I'LL BAN YOUR NETFLIX PRIVILEGES FOR A MONTH. 😡
Yuzi wuzi: Ohhh, now THAT'S some dad energy. 😆
Sha-bazz: But the difference is AB bro never threatens us. He just says, "If you do this well, I'll make pancakes for everyone!" And bam, we're motivated.
Swing king: Yeah, Ro bhai, you're more like, "Don't this, or you'll run 10 laps in the morning." See the difference? 😜
Hitman of cricket: If I don't discipline you, who will? You're all chaos! Chaos everywhere! 🙄
Hardik Styles: Isn't that why we're the Indian Chaotic Team? 🤷♂️
Klassic me: Exactly. Ro bhai, you're like the principal of a strict school, while AB is the cool teacher who lets us copy homework. 😂
Hitman of cricket: PRINCIPAL?! Oh, that's it. I'm officially revoking all late-night snacks for a week! Let's see how chaotic you feel then! And ask your Dad to request Vi for junk food allowance.
Ishu the sweet twin: Nooo! Ro bhai, please! Don't punish everyone because you're jealous of AB bro! 😭
Hitman of cricket: Jealous?! I'M NOT JEALOUS! Who said I'm jealous? I just think the credit needs to be shared fairly. 😤
Sky has no sky limit: So... you're not jealous? Then why is your tone all caps lock, huh? 🤔
Hitman of cricket: SKY!! 😡
Yuzi wuzi: I'm dying. This is too funny. 😂
Boom boom: Okay, okay, let's all calm down. How about we write "Co-Parent" next to Ro bhai's name in the chat? 😆
Hitman of cricket: JASSI! ME? CO-PARENT?! I'M THE PARENT! That's it. No more snacks. And no more calling AB "Dad" unless he clears it with me first!
Sha-bazz: Uh, Ro bhai... AB bro isn't even in this country. What are you gonna do? Call him and argue? 😂
Hitman of cricket: ... Maybe I will! He has no right to hog all the glory! I'm calling him right now!
Gabbar: Someone please record this call. This will be comedy gold. 😆
Dev the night owl: Omg, I can't wait to hear AB bro's reaction. He'll probably say, "Why are you so worked up, Ro? Chill out, mate." all calm and zen-like. 😌
Hitman of cricket: STOP MOCKING ME! I'm calling now. Don't disturb me for 15 minutes.
Sky has no sky limit: 15 minutes? It'll take my idol 30 seconds to calm you down. 😏
Boom boom: Place your bets, everyone. How long until Ro bhai admits defeat? 😂
Yuzi wuzi: I'm giving him 5 minutes before AB bro tells him to meditate.
Swing king: This chat is going to be legendary. I'll grab popcorn. 🍿
Klassic me: Same here. Let's see how Ro bhai defends his "fun dad" position. 😂
As the group chat exploded in laughter, Rohit stormed off to make the call, leaving behind a flurry of "laughing" and "popcorn" emojis. Everyone knew one thing for sure—AB's calm demeanor would diffuse Ro's anger, but not before giving the team plenty of reasons to tease him for weeks.

Rohit stormed into the room, muttering under his breath about the chaos in the group chat. As he stepped inside, he froze. Vi was sitting cross-legged on the floor, headset on, furiously tapping at his controller. On the other end of the screen, familiar voices filled the room.
Mahi: Excitedly "Marshy? I didn't know you played COD this well! You're carrying the team!"
Marsh: Chuckling "This is how we survive Pakistani tours, Mahi bhai. It's all about practice, cricket, and COD until your hands fall off."
Rabada: "So, does that mean everyone in your team is great at this game?"
Marsh: Laughing "Not even close. Our perfectionist Pat Cummins sucks at it. 'Footstep sounds scare me!' That's what he says every time."
Marsh mimicked a terrified Pat holding a controller, and the group erupted in laughter.
Ben Stokes: Amused "Pat? Scared of footsteps in the game? Didn't know he was such a baby."
Vi: Grinning "Honestly, he's still a baby. Just turned matured one because of the captaincy."
Vi and Marsh laughed, and Mahi's hearty chuckle echoed through the headset. Rohit blinked in disbelief.
Rohit: "Mahi bhai? You're playing COD?"
Mahi: Turning briefly to look at Rohit "Yeah? Got a problem with that, kiddo?"
Rohit: Rubbing his temples "No, I just—didn't expect this. And you haven't checked the group chat, have you?"
Vi paused his game momentarily, shooting Rohit a knowing grin.
Vi: "Of course Mahi bhai hasn't checked the group chat. He probably muted it ages ago, Panda."
Mahi: Raising an eyebrow "Wait, how do you know that, Cheeku?"
Vi: Grinning mischievously "Your responses speak to me, Mahi bhai~~~"
Rabada: Chuckling "Muted the group chat? Classic. Must be a nightmare in there."
Rohit: Groaning "It is a nightmare, Rabada. That's why I came back here! Mahi bhai, you should've stepped in to calm the chaos!"
Mahi: Shrugging "Why should I? I'm here playing COD, having a great time. You guys can sort out your own mess."
Ben Stokes: Laughing "Wise words, Mahi bhai. Group chats are overrated. I have also muted my group chat notification."
Rohit: Sitting down in frustration "Great. Now even Ben is encouraging this."
Vi: Patting Rohit's shoulder "Relax, Panda. Come join us. It's better than fighting in the group chat."
Rohit: Muttering "Better than this madness? Doubt it."
As the game continued, Rohit leaned back, watching the chaos unfold on the screen. Mahi bhai, of all people, being a COD pro? He shook his head. This dorm was officially the weirdest place on Earth.
Rohit sat down on his bed, arms crossed, clearly annoyed but trying to keep his cool. The sounds of gunfire and victory cheers filled the room as Mahi bhai, and the others dominated their game.
Rohit: Mumbling to himself "I came in here to complain, but of course, this is what I walk into. How am I supposed to say anything now?"
Vi: Noticing Rohit's expression "Panda, you look like you swallowed a lemon. What's up?"
Rohit: Defensive "Nothing! Why would anything be up? Just... watching you all play."
Mahi: Chuckling without looking away from the screen "If you have something to say, kiddo, spit it out. I can multitask."
Rohit: Frowning "I don't have anything to say, Mahi bhai. I'm just... here."
Vi: Smirking "Sure, sure. You're here just to 'watch.' Totally believable."
Rabada: Laughing "Rohit bhai, you're about as subtle as a firecracker."
Ben Stokes: "Exactly. If you've got something to say, mate, out with it!"
Rohit: Waving them off "Why would I need to say anything? You're all clearly busy. It's not like I'm bothered or anything."
Mahi: Snorting "Right? 'It's fine, I'm fine, everything's fine.'"
Everyone laughed, including Vi, who glanced over at Rohit with an amused smile.
Vi: Teasing "Come on, Panda. Just say it. You've been sulking since you walked in."
Rohit: Snapping slightly "I'm not sulking!"
Mahi: Calmly "You kinda are, though. What's bothering you?"
Rohit: Grumbling "Fine. It's just... you're all acting like there's no chaos happening in the group chat. Meanwhile, I'm the one who has to deal with it! And here you are, Mahi bhai, playing COD like you don't have a care in the world!"
Mahi: Smirking "Because I don't have a care in the world right now. Because you are the team's captain where I'm not. So, there is no point of me to get stressed over, kiddo."
Rabada: "So, the group chat's on fire again, huh?"
Rohit: Frustrated "It's always on fire! And somehow, I'm the one expected to keep everyone in check. But no, no one listens to me. Meanwhile, your brother, AB gets to be the 'cool dad,' title and I'm just..."
Vi: Grinning "The nagging older brother?"
Rohit: Groaning "Exactly! It's so unfair! I do all the work, but AB gets all the credit!"
Rabada: Trying to calm down Ro "I mean Ab bro is father figure, but for Ict' you are more than that, right? Also, Ab bro is our dad only..." Sulks
Marsh: "Here comes baby jello Rabada" Teases
Rabada: "Oh shut it! Marshy mellow"
Mahi: Pausing the game briefly to look at him "Kiddo, if it bothers you so much, just tell them."
Rohit: Sighing "Yeah, right. Like that'll work. They'll just laugh at me, like they always do."
Ben Stokes: "To be fair, Rohit, you do kinda make it easy sometimes."
Marsh: Nodding "Yeah, the way you complain is like fuel for the fire."
Rohit: Deadpan "Thanks for the support, guys. Really feeling the love here."
Vi: Patting Rohit's shoulder "Panda, you just need to chill. Take a page from Mahi bhai's book. Mute the group chat and play COD with us. It's therapeutic."
Rohit: Scoffing "Therapeutic? Watching you all team up and bully some players doesn't exactly sound relaxing."
Mahi: Grinning "Here, Come on in. You'd be surprised with this therapy session. Now, are you joining us or not?"
Rohit: Unwillingly "Fine. But don't expect me to stay quiet if you all start losing."
Vi: Laughing "That's the spirit, Panda! Welcome to the team!"
As the game started again, Rohit grabbed a controller, his frustration temporarily forgotten as he joined in the chaotic fun.
___________________
Rohit paced back and forth, his face a mix of frustration and determination. The MI boys, seated comfortably, exchanged confused glances as they watched their captain struggle to show whatever was eating at him.
Sky: Leaning back casually "Bhai, you've been walking around like a caged tiger. What's going on?"
Rohit: Stopping suddenly "You all know me and Vi have been besties for a long time, right?"
Sky: Nodding "Of course. That's the biggest secret everyone knows but pretends not to."
Hardik: Chuckling "Yeah, so what's the issue? Did Vi bhai steal your clothes again?"
Rohit: Rolling his eyes "No, Hardik. It's something else. I've been the only one dealing with this... jealousy thing. Everyone keeps shipping Vi with other people—Ben stokes, Kane, AB, and even with Chris sometimes! And I have to sit there pretending I'm fine while they tag him in every ridiculous post!"
Jassi: Looking up innocently "Bhai, I didn't know it bothered you so much. You're good at hiding it."
Rohit: Frustrated "Exactly my point! Why should I be the only one jealous? Vi should go through this, too! It's time he knows what it feels like!"
Sky: Grinning slyly "So... what's your plan, bhai?"
Rohit: Sitting down and leaning forward conspiratorially "I need your help to make Vi jealous by spamming a ship with me and Polly in the group chat."
Hardik: Raising an eyebrow "You want us to spam your ship? Bhai, you do realize this is dangerous territory, right? Yuzi will sniff out the plan in no time. That guy knows every gossip and rumor floating around every single team."
Sky: Grinning "Plus, no one's going to believe it, bhai. Polly and you? That's... uh... a tough sell."
Rohit: Determined "That's why I need you guys. You'll make it convincing."
Sky: Laughing "Convincing? Bhai, even I don't ship Polly and you. And I'm the biggest Rohirat shipper in existence!"
Jassi: Smirking "Finding a convincing ship of Polly bro and you is like asking a colorblind person to differentiate between a red and green apple."
Hardik: Confused "Heh? What's that supposed to mean?"
Jassi: "Usually Colorblind people can't differentiate between red and green."
Sky: Grimacing "That's dark, bro."
Rohit: Interrupting "Focus, guys! Please, for your bhai, just do this one thing!"
Sky: Faking thoughtfulness "Hmm, okay, but you'll have to pay us, bhai. Fooling Yuzi is going to take some serious effort."
Rohit: Frowning "Pay you? You guys are supposed to help me out of love!"
Sky: Shrugging "Love doesn't pay the bills, bhai. How about 1k?"
Hardik: Grinning wickedly "Make it 5k. You're asking us to risk our reputations here. Plus, we need Tilak and Ishu to back this up. No one will believe us alone."
Rohit: Groaning "Five thousand per each? That's highway robbery!"
Hardik: "What's too much, bhai? We're including Sky in this, and he's the ultimate harami. If anyone can't sell a ship, it's him. But even then, Tilak and Ishu are babies—they're the ones who'll make it believable. You think Vi bhai's going to believe me? not a chance!"
Sky: Offended "Excuse me, I'm a Rohirat loyalist. I'm not even sure I want to help with this!"
Jassi: Smirking "Sky is acting true then, MI don't have any trophies."
Sky: Glaring "Are you calling me fake?"
Jassi: "I mean... yeah, totally."
Hardik: Laughing "And Jassi has such an innocent face. Vi bhai will believe him in a second. But me and Sky? We look too harami for this plan to work."
Jassi: Annoyed "Why do you think my innocent face will help in this plan?"
Hardik: "Jas, you're the one who flirts with Rah and sends all those cheesy texts, Vi bhai says nothing, but I get scolded for looking at Rah for two seconds too long!"
Sky: Snickering "Hardik has a point. But fine, we'll do it—for 5k. And don't forget, Yuzi is still a problem. He'll sniff us out."
Rohit: Sighing deeply "Fine, deal. But if this works and Vi actually gets jealous, you'll see it's all worth it."
The group exchanged mischievous grins, already planning their next moves. Rohit leaned back, feeling a mix of nervousness and excitement as his teammates started scheming.

"ROLAND IS THE SHIP WE ALL DESERVE TO SEE~~" 😍
Hardik Styles: Wrong group chat, Jassi. 😂
Yuzi Wuzi: You guys' ship Roland?! That's...weird. 🤨
Rishu the Evil Twin: Too weird. 😶
Ishu the Sweet Twin: Roland pictures belong in another group chat, bhaiyass! 🙈
Rishu the Evil Twin: Wait... Ishu, you ship Roland?!
Ishu the Sweet Twin: Of course! 😌 They're like the paternal figures of MI, you know. 👨👦👦
Tilu 🦋: Ohhh, like Abrat is for RCB!
Sassy Overthinker ✅: Feeling the jealousy bubbling up 😤 What is this Roland ship thingy?!
Hardik Styles: It's a ship, bhaiya. 🚢
Sassy Overthinker ✅: Wow, I didn't know that at all. 😐
Kullu-Kulfi: Roland? Sounds like a British sitcom name. Is this about Ro bhai and Polly again? 😏
Rajput naam hai mera: What else would it be? These guys can't stop shipping everyone in MI. 😂
Yuzi Wuzi: Vi bhai, they're pulling some prank on you. They're literally Rohirat shippers—why would they ship Roland? 🤷♂️
Miyan Magician: Yuzi bhai using his tax officer brain right now. 🧠😂
Sassy Overthinker ✅: Yuzi, you make sense, actually. 🤔
Sky has no sky limit:
Sorry I was late—fashionably late, of course. 😌 Who wants to see the BEST Roland ship pics?!
Yuzi Wuzi: Okay, Sky being a Roland shipper is believable, but the rest of you? Nah. 🕵️♂️
Just Jinks not Jinksey: And why only him? 🤨
Yuzi Wuzi: Because Sky is a HUGE Mr. 360 fan, remember? Did you guys forget about the Abrat fan group chat? The one where Sky sends edits and facts about AB and Vi bhai like a full-on fanboy? It's not shocking that he'd ship Roland. 🙄
Klassic Me: Golf clap 👏 That was some big brain reasoning, Chess Champion. ♟️
Sassy Overthinker ✅: Panicking Just don't leak our plans in that group, okay? The coach will kill us. 😅
Yuzi Wuzi: Relax, Vi bhai. I won't leak anything. 🫡
Sassy Overthinker ✅: Okay, fine, anyways. I don't care. BUT WHERE IS THIS PANDA-PANDA?! 🐼
Hitman of the Cricket: Called me? 🤔
Sassy Overthinker ✅: OBVIOUSLY! Who else?! What's going on in your team, huh? Shipping you with Polly as paternal figures?!
Hitman of the Cricket: So now you have a problem with paternal figure shipping? RCBians do the same thing, calling AB their dad.
Hardik Styles: Ro bhai remembering the stuff we talked about two days ago? Impressive! 👏
Swing King: I know, right? 🤩
Shamifinal: Sooo shocking! 🤯
Hitman of the Cricket: Oh, shut it, Bhuvi and Shami. 😒
Sassy Overthinker ✅: DON'T you dare order my fast bowlers like that. 😤
Hitman of the Cricket: Then tell them not to interfere between us! 😤
Sassy Overthinker ✅: They can do whatever they want. And for your information, RCBians ship Abrat because we actually act like their parental figures —telling them bedtime stories when they're forced to sleep early for early flights, paying their bills during hangouts, guiding them with our wisdom. YOU and Polly, on the other hand, act like some cool uncles with their nephews. Let them have all those alcoholic drinks! Don't even try to deny it—I know all those MI secrets. 🧐
Hitman of the Cricket: Says the one whose team has an alcoholic company sponsorship 😒
Harshal: We are not allowed to drink until we are 25+, Ro bhai 👀 No cap at all! till then only fruit punch's
Sha-bazz: Tbh, every junior in every team ships, you know, bhai. 🤷♂️
Hitman of the Cricket: YOU do the same thing with juniors! And for the record, YOU'RE shipped with every random cricketer possible. Why is it a problem for you when it's me?! 😠
Sassy Overthinker ✅: It's about the vibes, okay?! THE. VIBES. ✨And I match their vibes...
Dev the Night Owl: The vibes? That's the most Virat bhai response I've heard all week. 😂
Hitman of the Cricket: Whatever! You know what? Let's go to the BCCI office tomorrow.
Gabbar: Chill, Ro! For something this silly? 😧

Rajput nam hai mera: Honestly, this is ICONIC. Someone writes this down for our group history archives. 📝😂
Hitman of the Cricket: Excuse me, it's YOU who proposed this idea! 🙄
Sassy Overthinker ✅: pacing dramatically YOU were the one who insisted we keep our relationship a secret, Ro! Don't act like I came up with the idea alone! 😤
Hitman of the Cricket: leaning back in his chair, arms crossed Oh really? You're the one who was all, "We need to keep it professional, Ro!" Don't blame me for following YOUR suggestion, Vi.
Sassy Overthinker ✅: mocking tone "Professional"? YOU were the one worried about "how this would look in the media. Will they accept us?! blah blah blah"
Hitman of the Cricket: That's called being cautious! Unlike YOU, who gets jealous of literally EVERY ship of mine on the internet. 😒
Sassy Overthinker ✅: gasps ME?! Excuse me, who was sulking in the MI team chat when someone told you "RCB's best ship is Abrat"? Don't fight with me, okay? ___*(￣皿￣)/#____
Hitman of the Cricket: rolls his eyes That's because YOU keep sharing cute moments with AB in public! Sticking to each other like leeches! What am I supposed to think? 🙄
Sassy Overthinker ✅: Oh, so now I can't talk to my close friends? Maybe I should ban you from being seen with Polly, huh?! 😡
Hitman of the Cricket: mutters Maybe you should.
Sassy Overthinker ✅: slams the table SAY THAT AGAIN?! <( ‵□′)───C＜─___-)||
Klassic Me: casually munching popcorn This is better than any Netflix drama. 😌🍿
Boom Boom: Agreed. Who knew we'd be getting live "Rohirat Confessions" today? 👀
Gabbar: interrupting loudly ENOUGH! Both of you! gestures wildly You're fighting like junior cricketers over who gets to bat first. 🙄
Six is not important: teary-eyed My baccha was in love all this time and DIDN'T TELL ME?! Where did our Dilli boys bond went😭
Still Handsome Cricketer: Excuse Me?! He is ours not yours only!! Why didn't you tell me your Yuvi pa, Bunny?!!! TT
Thala = 7: Chal hatt, woh mera cheeku hai (Get lost, He is my cheeku)
Gilli danda ❌: Bhai, we were just sitting here enjoying the show, but this betrayal? 💔
Sixes are my fav <3: BROO, THIS IS CRAZY. WE COULD'VE MADE SHIP EDITS EARLIER TO POST ON THIS OCCASSION. 😭💀
Sassy Overthinker ✅: guilt-ridden Gauti bhaiya, I—
Six is not important: SHUT UP, VI! I'M STILL MAD! 😤 But also, come here, you idiot, I need to hug you. 😭
Hitman of the Cricket: muttering I literally told you we should've said something about this earlier without giving them cardiac arrest.
Sassy Overthinker ✅: OH HELLO! YOU ARE THE ONE WHO INFORM THEM AND NOW YOU WANT TO BLAME ME?! 😡
Still Handsome Cricketer: You know what, enough of this. WHEN IS THE WEDDING?! 😡
Boom Boom: So... invite-only or full-team affair? Will our international friends be invited? 🤔 If yes, dang! then I can't wait to perform with my bros at sangeet!! 💃🏻🎈
Hardik Styles: Jas, the bros you are mentioning better be us or else. (╬▔皿▔)╯ you know me, right!
Miyan Magician: Hardik bhaiya, sorry to break you but it's definitely not you guys. It's unofficial Fab 5 bowlers. Jassi bhai is quite close with them...
Hardik Styles: Unofficial Fab 5 bowlers, woh kya hai?
Swing King: Harry, just like Fab 4 batsmen. They are Fab 5 bowlers who are the best in all three formats. Which consists of Jassi, Starc, Archer, Rabada. Pat and Boult. They are not official because their age gap is huge compared to Fab 4 batsmen. The main criteria is that they need to debut near the same time and in age wise as well*Sips chai*
Hardik Styles: Still, I don't care, better sleep with your eyes open, Jassi!!
Boom Boom: Miyan!! The betrayal!! I didn't expect this from you.
Hardik Styles: Jassi, ab tu toh gaya!! How dare you to replace us with those foreign frienemies of yours
Miyan Magician: It's revenge for Vi bhaiya! For spoiling Fab 4 secret meetup by forcing Rabada to leak this into the International Cricket Club. Because you guys want to maintain that innocent image in front of your Fab 4 brothers, I don't know which innocence, you guys were talking about. Making huge fuss about it! Poor Fab 4, they couldn't even meet each other. Kaam sirf bade karthe ho but dimag se abhi bhi bacche ho.
Boom Boom: Teri toh!! Now you wait and watch, Let's see who will save you from us! ☺️🔪
Hardik Styles: Do you think till then, I let you live peacefully! Hell Nah.
Swing King: Whatever, I don't care. Bro, if we're not the groomsmen, I'm fighting someone, no I am murdering someone.
Magician Shrey: nodding Agreed. I DEMAND to be a part of this.
Gabbar: grinning mischievously Who's the best man?
Six is not important: ME! IT'S ME! NO DISCUSSION! 😤
Boom Boom: No way, it should be ME!
Hitman of the Cricket: groaning Oh god, this is already turning into a mess.
Gilli danda ❌: Wait, so does this mean Rohirat is canon now? 😳
Sixes are my fav <3: Can I tweet about this? 👀
Sassy Overthinker ✅: panicking ABSOLUTELY NOT! LADDU! 🚨
Hitman of the Cricket: grinning Admit it, Vi. You love the drama. 😏
Sassy Overthinker ✅: grumbling Maybe. Just a little. 😤
Everyone Else: screaming into the group chat AAAAAAAH! 🥰🔥
Amidst the chaos, Rohirat exchanged a smile, their eyes reflecting gratitude. No matter how wild things got, they knew they had the unwavering support of their friends, seniors—and that was all that truly mattered.
