“Yesterday, my brother and I celebrated Diwali and burst crackers. Today, we are looking around to see if there are any crackers left. Maybe we will find a few more!

I am in Class 2, and my brother is in Class 4. We have two more days of holidays before our school reopens. My favourite subject is Maths, and I love Cricket. I also enjoy flying kites too.

I love to bat and bowl and already have five plastic bats. My brother and I want to buy an English Willow bat one day. It might take us some time to save enough, but we are putting aside some pocket money every day. We are saving ₹20 every day towards it.

My favourite cricketers are Suryakumar Yadav and Abhishek Sharma, and I am a big fan of Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL.

At school, I have my friends Rohit and Sanjay to play with, but my brother is my best friend at home. We share our games, our little adventures and even our big cricket dreams. I think we will always be best friends, no matter how big we grow!”
