5/218 heartbreaks "How does it feel to lose and then get back on the ground all over again?" Noor asked me this question yesterday. I find this a beautiful question, so let's do the answering in detail. I'll take my various experiences of cricket defeats in consideration here and then try to tell how they shaped me as a player and person. When I was 14 years of age I suffered my first heartbreak in cricket. We were playing a district level game in Tanakpur and I was one of the important players. The game went terribly bad because I was run out for nought in the first innings and then dropped two catches in second. It was also the first match where I faced firsthand criticism from the coach. It was a blow to my confidence when I was already a low in confidence kind of player. This was the first time when I felt depressed in cricket. At the age of 16 we were at the same venue but this time I was leading the team. I was a much more confident player than before and our team was much stronger too but still we lost the game. It was the strangest defeat I had ever been a part of. They were just 1 down, requiring 9 off 6. My bowler bowled 3 dots on a trott and turned the game in our favor. After that their player hit one out of the ground! All of us were around sixteen years of age but that six left the boy's bat like a shooting star. Any adult player would be proud of that stroke. I still have the memory like a video in my head. Despite giving my best we were lost, again. This made me the most depressed human in the universe. You wouldn't believe how depressed I got there. Maybe it was because I was the leader. Or maybe it was just because of the way we lost. The bowler did shed tears on the ground and everyone was numb for a bit because we were such a good team. But as soon as we reached the hotel everyone was in a lighter mood. In fact, all the boys except me went strolling the streets of Nepal which is not very far from Tanakpur. I lied there in the dark hotel staring at nothing, doing nothing, feeling nothing and thinking so much but still, nothing. I was too depressed to move an inch.
