The following story is about two legendary cricketers viz. Prerak Parikh & Chintan Shroff that india has ever produced and their series of match wins during Dec '07 - Apr '07..Can anyone challenge prerak's whopping rocket fast deliveries and chintan's flamboyant & magnificient drives..?
No one..! right..?
But still there were some hapless & maverick losers who opted to challenge them and ended up getting humiliated, with their asses literally getting thrashed, smashed & crashed into a lump of dirty & stinky shit, with flies and mosquitos hovering all over..(yuck..!)
ops..! sorry..! i know that's tough to imagine but that is exactly what happened..cannot help it..
anyways..lemme just take u away from the above stinky stuff and give u the background..
During my stay in ahmedabad from Dec '07 - Apr '07, i met Mr. Chintan Shroff alias Chinki in one of the sport events in The Sports Club.It was our common interest in cricket that drew us closer.Gradually, we started spending more and more time together,discussing about various cricket techiques, tricks, ideologies, opinons and strategies.We used to spend about 5-6 hours daily in mocha, chatting about india's future in cricket along with hukka pipes in mouth and smoke all around.Eventually, after hours and days of our discussion, we decided and formed a cricket team named 'THE HOOLIGANS'..don't laugh..but the team only had two players Chintan and ME..(We were equivalent to 11).
The first ever historical win was registered on 21st january '07 when 'THE HOOLIGANS' butchered 'THE WARRIORS' by whopping 500 runs at Mithalal-kaniyalal Gali, near lala kaka's bhajiya shop, Ambawadi Por, Ahmedabad.The exciting match was witnessed by the entire globe & accolades flew into our dressing room following the opening-night triumph.
The whole world was aghast when we thrashed 'THE PANTHERS' with 788 runs victory at Chimanlal gali, Ramaniklal Chowk, near kaali mata's temple, Maninagar, Ahmedabad on 25th january '07.Rich accolades were bestowed on the cricket heros viz. 'THE HOOLIGANS'.We soon realised that we were immortal and the champions.
The above two match wins earned the title 'LEGENDS' for us.It was an absolute honor to recieve it from BCCI.We decided to stop playing after that and started cricket coaching classes named 'THE HOOLIGANS CRICKET ACADEMY'.There was an instant rush on the first day itself that we actually registered some 4 to 5 lacs aspirants. On the registration of 4.8 lacs aspirants on the second day our intake capacity was over.We lived happliy then..
Hey..! the story is not over yet..infact till now wht i told was the background..
The actual story starts now..
On one fine shivery evening, Chintan and me were taking rest at our mansion which we bought for $20 billion on C.G road, Ahmedabad."Knock,Knock", i heard all of sudden.I just opened my eyes (half asleep) and scanned all around. Finding no one, i went back to sleep..Chintan too, was sleeping deeply & snoring like a buffalo.We were extremely tired because of our hectic schedule of the cricket academy that we owned."Knock,Knock" i heard again..this time i woke up completely with eyes wide open.Soon, i realised that someone was at the door..Chitan was still lying on his bed snoring badly and with his mouth wide open as if asking GOD to stuff it with gold.."Asshole",i exclaimed angrily.."knock,knock", i heard again.."wait a minute u bastard", i shouted. Furiously i stood up and opened the door but not before slapping chintan's ass tightly with a loud smack.
Four dumb men stood at the door and introduce themselves as Hemal,nandish,abhi and pratik."What do u want assholes..?",i asked angrily, yawning & rubbing my eyes.Chintan was fully awake by that time and he came and stood beside me."oye..! tame shu maano cho potaani jaatne..? match lagaavi che..?" ("hey..! what the hell do u think of urself..? wanna play against us..? "), hemal shouted."Chillax dude..!", we replied and asked them to sit on sofa and explain the matter in detail.I actually wanted to bash their heads off but feared that it might evoke media to fill up their columns against us.The title 'LEGEND' isn't that easy to retain..it may evaporate or vanish with a media's single arrow shot..wht say..? agree..?
anyways..coming back to the story..
They ultimately came to the point.They wanted to defeat us in a cricket match and show the world that india bears more talent than wht it sees."ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha",we laughed with our hands on stomach..i hope u can imagine.."ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha"..the fantastic four got extremely furious with everyone stopping everyone from reacting physically..The matter was going worse..and it was now hurting our celebrity status..We excepted their offer to play 7 series against them each one of 7 matches..that makes 49 matches overall..
49 matches..offf..!, we reacted.
i said "these assholes needs 49 matches to defeat us..we r literally gonna humiliate them" in chintan's ear..Chintan was also laughing in his zipped mouth."Our team's name is 'THE GORILLAS' and remember it",abhi shouted.." What..? 'THE GORILLAS'" ,we repeated and fell down laughing madly..They felt as if they were jokers..and
wait..!
u must be wondering wht the does 1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2 in the tile signify..?
hmm..! well, lemme just break the secret..
1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2...It's a jingle created by Chintan and ME to irritate others especially our opponents..we sing it whenever he hit a six,
four or take a wicket.
people give high-fives but we use this jingle.
Now how to use this jingle..?
well,
when u say 1 tap ur left leg with the right one lifted in air and when u say 2 tap ur right leg with the left one lifted in air..1 for left, 2 for right, 1 for left, 2 for right (just like army people do)..go on and on and on and on..untill the opponent guy gets extremely furious.This has actually played a vita role in our success..
coming back to the story..
hmm..! yes..so we accepted the challenge..and the dates of matches were decided as follows:

second delivery also resulted in a flamboyant six.The score board blinked 12-0 in 0.2 overs.The crowd was going mad and pessure started building up on 'THE GORILLAS'.The third delivery gave the same outcome but it was bit dramatic this time.Chintan went for a hook shot and nandish dropped the catch near the boundry with the ball falling off the ropes.It was a six..! "Thank GOd",i whispered.Hemal was angry with nandish this time.Everything was going wrong with 'THE GORILLAS'..3 balls and 18 runs.."What the hell..?",hemal shouted..The first over ended up with 30 runs on the scorebord.The Style icon Hemal snatched the ball from Abhi's hand telling him "U know something..? u r an asshole"."i'm sorry",Abhi apologised and the second over started.i was on strike during his first ball.i'm not a good batsman but guess wht..? one more six.."1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2",we sang and danced..'THE GORILLAS' were completely exasperated.The second over ended up 56 runs on the score-board with no loss obviously.There was no srike change during this over and hence we changed our side for the third one.Chintan was on stike again to smash their asses off.Three more sixes yielded from this over.We took no singles in this three overs.Score bored shouted "Good going 'THE HOOLIGANS'".The fourth over yielded 16 more runs with four fours by me.The last over was the best.Chintan hit six sixes in six balls in pratik's over breaking all the previous records.Audience went crazy..! breaking off the fences and lifting us on their shoulders.The
