Is haar ne unke dil mein ek khali pan chhoda, kyunki ek baar phir trophy unke haathon se fisal gayi. Lekin cricket ek aisa khel hai jo hamesha naye mauke deta hai, aur Shreyas ne iska pura fayda uthaya jab unhone T20 Mumbai League 2025 mein Sobo Mumbai Falcons ki captaincy sambhali. Unhone kaha, “Captaincy ek badi zimmedari hai. Yeh aapko mature banata hai aur team ke liye hamesha behtar perform karne ki ummeed rakhta hai.”
Shreyas ka yeh bayan unke leadership ke jazbe ko dikhata hai. T20 Mumbai League mein Sobo Mumbai Falcons ne unki captaincy mein shandaar pradarshan kiya, jisme unhone apne league stage ke paanch mein se chaar match jeete. Yeh safalta koi chhoti baat nahi thi, kyunki is tournament mein Suryakumar Yadav, Shivam Dube aur Ajinkya Rahane jaise bade khiladi bhi khel rahe the. Shreyas ne na sirf apni batting se team ko majbooti di, balki apne faislon se bhi sabko prabhavit kiya. Ek match mein, jab Eagle Thane Strikers ne 151 run banaye, Shreyas ne apni team ko chase ke liye taiyaar kiya, lekin woh 115 run par hi out ho gaye. Phir bhi, unki team semi-finals mein pahunch gayi, jo unki leadership ka saboot hai.
Shreyas ka yeh safar kisi filmy kahani se kam nahi. Mumbai ke Shivaji Park se apna cricket shuru karne wale is khiladi ne apne school aur college ke dino mein bhi dhoom machayi thi. Unhone apne purane saathiyon ke saath dressing room share karne ki khushi bhi bayan ki, jinhone unke saath club cricket khela tha. Yeh nostalgia unke liye ek nayi energy laaya. Unki captaincy mein ek balance dikha – young talent jaise Angkrish Raghuvanshi aur Harsh Aghav ke saath experienced khiladiyon ka mix. Yeh wahi balance tha jo unhone IPL 2025 mein Punjab Kings ke saath bhi banaya tha, jahan unhone 488 run banaye, jisme paanch fifties shamil thi, aur team ko final tak le gaye.
T20 Mumbai League mein bhi kuch aise hi lamhe dekne ko mile. Bandra Blasters ke Suved Parkar ne Orange Cap jeeta, jabki Eagle Thane Strikers ke Shashank Attarde Purple Cap ke haqdaar bane. Shreyas ne apni team ko in sab ke bawajood ek alag pehchan di. Unhone kaha, “Main bas apne zone mein rehta hoon, present mein focus karta hoon, aur crowd ki energy ko apnata hoon.” Yeh baat unke high-pressure situations mein shant rehne ki kshamata ko dikhati hai, jaise unhone IPL 2025 ke Qualifier 2 mein Mumbai Indians ke khilaaf 87* run banakar dikhaya tha.
Lekin cricket ka yeh safar hamesha asaan nahi hota. Shreyas ke liye bhi yeh league perfect nahi thi. Ek match mein unki team 36 run se haar gayi, aur Shreyas khud bhi 25 run banakar out ho gaye. Yeh chhoti si nakami unhe yaad dilati hai ki cricket mein consistency kitni mushkil hai. Aage jaakar, semi-final mein Bandra Blasters ke khilaaf unki team ke liye ek bada challenge hai. Wankhede Stadium mein hone wala yeh match unke liye ek aur imtehaan hoga, jahan woh apni leadership aur batting dono ko sabit karna chahte hain. Kya woh apni team ko final tak le jayenge, ya phir ek baar phir unhe nirasha haath lagegi? Yeh toh waqt hi batayega.
