Ro set off for the BCCI headquarters where the meeting was scheduled. Anxious and excited, he couldn't wait to meet someone special. As he arrived, he dialed the person's number.

"Hello, Aur kitni der...I have reached," Ro said eagerly into the phone.

"Reaching in 5 mins," came the reassuring reply from the other end.

Moments later, a car pulled up beside Ro's. Both stepped out of their cars, and Ro rushed to hug the person, whispering, "I missed you bhai."

"O really...sammy to kuch aur bol rahi thi," teased the person, a playful smile on his face.

"Aap meri ni sunoge?" Ro said, giving his best innocent look.

"Bas bas sab pata hai mujhe... nautanki Sharma," the person chuckled, teasing Ro, who pouted in response, making the other person laugh at his adorable expression.

"Ab andar nahi jana?" the person raised an eyebrow, asking if they should head inside.

"Let's go," Ro replied, his expression turning serious as they prepared to enter.

"Team?" the other one asked, concern in his voice.

"Already inside... prepared for everything," Ro said confidently, his determination shining through.

Both entered the meeting room, where everyone awaited them anxiously with tense expressions.

"You can't waste the board's time" a member exclaimed angrily, his voice echoing in the room

"Oh, really? But I just did," Ro replied, a mischievous smirk playing on his lips.

"YOU!!" the member stood up, his eyes filled with anger and hatred.

"What can you do, huh?" Ro challenged.

"I will..." the member began, his fists clenched in frustration.

"I know what you can do... Go ahead, declare me a cheater too," Ro interrupted, his tone daring.

"You can't speak to me like that!" the member spat.

"You don't even know what I can do, Mr. Goyal," Ro said, his tone turning dangerous..

"Do you realize what you've done? You've brought disrepute to the board, to the whole BCCI. This wasn't expected from you, Rohit," Dada's voice came from behind, filled with disappointment.

"What happened 15 years back was also not expected from the BCCI," Ro retorted.

"How could you just leak everything to the media? You could have come to the BCCI first, or to me, or to any member!" Dada expressed his frustration.

"Yeah, right! So that you and your so-called BCCI could distort and manipulate it, and keep hiding the truth like before? No thank you. And about coming to you... Did you hear me when I begged you to listen? NOBODY DID. BUT NOW EVERYONE WILL!" Ro's voice was determined as he glanced at Mahi while speaking the last words.

"But this is not the way," Dada said, frustrated.

"That was the only way to bring out the truth, Sourav," a voice came from behind Ro.

"JAMMY! How can you support him in all this? Do you know what it does? It directly questions the credibility of BCCI... it questions ME!" Dada exclaimed, his voice rising with every word.

"IT SHOULD! How did this happen right in front of you? What the hell were you doing? How could you let this happen? How could you let my kids suffer?" Jammy's voice roared, sending shivers through everyone present, as this had never happened before.

"You don't trust me?" Dada asked, his voice filled with a mix of surprise and hurt.

"You shouldn't be asking this question," Jammy replied, his eyes filled with accusations and disappointment.

* Flashback *

Ajju and Bhuvi walked up to Dada and Mahi, their faces streaked with tears. They looked defeated and hopeless. Mahi saw them coming and felt a heavy weight in his chest. Ajju and Bhuvi couldn't even meet his eyes, their heads hung low.

"Dada....how can he.... at least inki to sun leta.." Mahi said, his voice breaking with helplessness.

Dada was deep in thought when Sachin and Jammy arrived. Their presence brought a small glimmer of hope to Dada and Mahi. They had been waiting for some kind of support, and seeing their friends gave them a moment of relief.

Mahi immediately ran to Sachin and hugged him tightly, seeking comfort in his arms. Dada greeted both of them, but his heart ached seeing Mahi so broken and vulnerable.

"Sach paa...jammy paa aap baat karo na Ro se vo kisi ki baat nahi sun raha...bas ek hi ratt lagai hui hai...mera vi innocent hai...use samajh hi nahi aa raha" Mahi pleaded, his voice filled with desperation.

"Main krta hu usse baat...vo meri baat zarur maanega," Sachin said confidently, though Jammy still seemed to be in shock, unable to process everything.

"Wait a minute...sahi to bol raha hai Ro...vi innocent hi to hai...usme samjhana kya??" Jammy said, feeling confused and thinking that maybe he had misunderstood something.

"What are you saying, Jammy? Virat is not innocent... he betrayed our country, Jammy. He hurt our Jassi," Dada said, his voice stern and filled with pain.

"No... cheeku aisa kar hi nahi sakta...main jaanta hoon use...vo hamara cheeku hai...vo soch bhi nahi sakta aisa kuch..." Jammy defended Vi fiercely, his voice shaking with conviction.

"Aisa hi hai, Jammy bhai," Mahi said, his voice low and filled with sorrow.

"Mahi...ye tum bol rahe ho....jo use sbse acha se jaanta hai..jis insaan ki wajah se ye desh naa jane kitne matches jita... kitni baar usne desh ka naam ooncha kiya..jisne kitne logo ka pyaar jeeta hai..jiski duniya izzat krti hai...tum usko cheater bol rahe ho...jo insaan khud se zyada cricket se pyaar krta hai...tum uske liye aisa bolna to kya soch bhi kaise sakte ho....aur Mahi tumhare to bacche the na vo...chorr diya tumne unhe...jab Virat ko tumhare TRUST ki aur Ro ko tumhare SUPPORT ki sabse zyada zarurat hai...tumne chorr diya unka saath... aise hote hai Bhai..." Jammy asked, his voice filled with anger and disappointment.

"No, Jammy... listen to me," Dada began, but Jammy cut him off.

"Enough... I don't want to hear anything more. You might abandon your children, not trust them, not support them... but I won't. I have full trust in them. I will support my Ro and Vi," Jammy said, his voice resolute, and walked away, leaving everyone stunned.

* Flashback over *

"We don't trust your evidence," came the cold voice of a member, who smirked at Mr. Goyal.

Ro took a deep breath, as if trying to steady himself. "I knew someone would say that," he began, his voice gaining strength. "That's why I brought a team of forensic experts. They will explain everything to you—every false credit in the bank statements, the fake emails, the manipulated voice recordings, and especially how that video was faked. Mind you, they are the best in the country."

Before the presentation began, Ro gave a quick, subtle signal to Rahul, who immediately did his work.

The first expert to speak was Mr. Mehta, a forensic accountant. He looked serious as he stepped forward. "I'm Mr. Mehta, and I've found subtle yet significant inconsistencies that the initial investigators missed," he began.

Mr. Mehta showed everyone the property documents. "Look closely," he said, pointing to the screen. "The font used in different sections varies slightly, which means these documents were altered. Also, some of the signatures are digitally manipulated, indicating forgery."

The audience was silent as they absorbed this information. Mr. Mehta continued, "The anonymous credits in Virat’s bank account seemed suspicious from the start. I traced these credits back to an offshore account known for laundering money. This proves that the funds were funneled into Vi's account deliberately to frame him."

He paused for a moment, letting the significance of his findings sink in. "The pattern of transactions doesn't align with Vi's known financial behavior, further discrediting the accusations against him."

Next, Mr. Mehta displayed the email headers on the screen. "These emails were sent from an anonymous source with manipulated IP addresses. The metadata shows tampering, and they do not match the timeline of events. This is clear evidence of falsification."

Mr. Mehta stepped back, and Mr. Singh, the forensic voice analyst, took his place. "My analysis confirms that the voice in the recording is not Vi's," he stated confidently. "There is evidence of editing and manipulation in the recording. Irregularities in background noise levels indicate tampering."

Then, Priya Kapoor, the top video forensics expert, approached the front. She looked calm but determined. "This video supposedly shows Vi tampering with gym equipment, causing Jasprit's injury. Let's look at it frame by frame."

Priya showed the video to everyone and pointed out several discrepancies. "At first glance, the timestamp on the video seems legitimate, but there are anomalies in the metadata," she explained. "The timestamp was digitally altered. The original metadata indicates that the video was created months before the incident, proving it was manipulated."

She continued, "The equipment in the footage had been replaced three months prior to the alleged tampering. This means the video could not have been recorded during the timeframe suggested by the prosecution."

She paused, looking around the room. "It's clear that this video was doctored specifically to frame Virat. Someone went to great lengths to create all this false evidence."

The room was heavy with silence as everyone processed the overwhelming evidence presented by the experts. The truth was undeniable, and the attempt to frame Virat was laid bare for all to see.

"But What about the eyewitness? We can't accept any of this until he confesses," another member said, who had earlier supported Mr. Goyal.

Rohit gave him a sideways glance, clearly annoyed. One of the experts then played a video showing the eyewitness admitting he was lying. However, the video stopped just as he was about to reveal who had told him to lie.

Suddenly, Mr. Goyal jumped up and grabbed one of the experts by the collar, shaking him and shouting, "You are lying! This is wrong! Virat is a liar!"

Ro, staying incredibly calm but with a dangerous edge to his voice, said, “Leave his collar and apologize right now.”

"SHUT UP, YOU!!" Mr. Goyal screamed back.

"I am saying this for your own good," Ro responded calmly.

Mr. Goyal accused him furiously, "You are a cheater, supporting the person who cheated his own country!"

"Don’t you dare say a word against him,” Ro said, his eyes blazing with anger. “The whole world knows he is innocent.”

Just then, Jammy spoke up from behind, holding a small camera in his pocket. "Also, this whole proceeding is live on social media. It would be better if you behave yourself and mind your words. Better not speak at all."

Mr. Goyal's face turned red with rage. "No, this can't happen! How dare you..." He moved towards Ro, raising his hand as if to slap him, but Ro caught his hand in mid-air, stopping him effortlessly.

"Raising your hand against a national player during a live meeting?" Ro warned with a smirk.

"We’ve heard enough. We agree with what the experts are saying. Virat is innocent. Now turn off the live stream. We have other matters to discuss,” Dada pleaded, looking tired and stressed.

Ro nodded at Jammy, who turned off the live stream but kept the camera running, making sure they still had a record of everything that was happening. The room was tense, emotions running high, but justice was finally on its way to being served.

How did you reach the eyewitness?" Mahi asked curious, his voice filled with concern this time.

"That's none of your business," Ro snapped back, his tone sharp.

"This is not right, Rohit... You can't make a joke of BCCI like this," Dada intervened, his disappointment showing.

"Arrey you should thank me I didn't leak the whole video... otherwise whole country would have been in chaos...aapke bcci ki to dhajjiyan udd jati... if i had done that," Ro retorted, his frustration evident. He then played the video in full.

What unfolded in the video shocked everyone in the room. The eyewitness named....Mahi.

"What?! No... I didn't... he is lying," Mahi panicked, his voice trembling.

"How does it feel to be on the other side, Mr. Dhoni?" Ro's words dripped with bitterness.

"This is wrong... He's lying... My Mahiya can never do this," Dada protested, his voice filled with disbelief.

"Wow... such a hypocrite you are. Now he is lying? Didn't it occur to you that he could have lied 15 years back, just like your Mahiya? For once, your Cheeku could also be innocent," Ro yelled, his anger rising.

Jammy stepped in, placing a comforting hand on Ro's shoulder, trying to calm him down.

"I know he is lying. I'm not like you to believe anything. But it also means that he is lying now and he was lying back then too," Ro said with a mixture of frustration and determination.

Maybe you asked him to say Mahi's name to take revenge on him," Mr. Goyal tried once again, his words like sharp arrows, aiming to turn every eye, especially Dada and Mahi's, towards Ro.

"If I wanted revenge, I would have leaked this to the media myself... then I would have seen how this country treats him...who they trust..." Ro said, his gaze piercing through Mr. Goyal with intensity.

"If you still have doubts, you can get everything checked once more... but it's all true... my Vi is innocent, and truth can't stay hidden for long," Ro said, looking directly at Dada.

"No need... anyways, your team is the best in India... we trust you... BCCI will release the statement that Virat Kohli is Innocent shortly... also, an enquiry on that eyewitness and the board members present at that time will follow," said the president of BCCI, his words carrying reassurance.

Tears welled up in Ro's eyes as he heard that his Vi is innocent... Jammy immediately hugged him and said, "You did it.... you did it bacha... our Vi is innocent."

Mahi and Dada looked at them with a mix of longing, anger, and somewhere deep down, guilt...

At the same time, Mr. Goyal eyed them with hatred and murmured under his breath, "Tujhe to main chorrunga nahi Rohit Sharma... main bhi dekhta kaise zinda bachta hai tu..."

Ro and Jammy left from there with a content smile on both their faces, their hearts lighter knowing that justice prevailed.

Upon reaching the Sharma house, they were stopped by the guard who handed Ro an unknown package.

" Package? Firse? " Ro said, puzzled, looking at it.

He checked but found no name or address on it. He asked the guard, "Kaun de ke gya ye?"

"Apka FAN hai...bolke gaya" the guard replied.

"Agli baar aisa koi package aae to call krna...jab tak main na bolu lene ka nai..." Ro instructed the guard before eagerly heading inside to open the package. (Guess what is it...)
