The last run being scored by a disabled KID.

Once up on a time there was once a six year old boy named Shoy, who did could not run properly because of disability in one leg. Other children of his age never let him play with them. One day he was with his father who saw some children older than his son playing cricket with a lot of people watching the match.

The father knew the kid wanted to play but who will let him. The father decided to try and requested the captain of one of the teams to let his son play.

The captain looked at the kid and thought, there just one more ball to go and four runs required to win which he thought was presently impossible as the bowler had three of the team out in three successive balls. As such a win was almost impossible so he let the disabled kid to bat the last ball. The bowler dispatched the ball aimed at the kids bat.

Before he could even lift the heavy bat the ball bounced and went to a fielder who deliberately let it go past having understood the bowler’s intention. The father cheered him, “Take a run Shoy, run.” The deep fielder picked up the ball and threw it to the wicket keeper.

Shoy ran limping as fast he could manage. The crowd watching the game also started cheering, “Come on shoy, Keep it up”. The wicket keeper let the ball slip off his gloved hands. Now Shoy was completing his third run. Everything looked in slow motion as every one wanted Shoy to complete the fourth run including the team that would lose by doing so.

Two more fielders did their part allowing Shoy to complete the last winning run, as the crowed and both teams cheering him, “Shoy, You can do it”, disregarding excruciating pain in his thin steel plate strapped leg.

Each and everyone present there including both the teams and the crowd helped Shay to become the hero for once in his life. Shoy was the happiest of all of them for having made his father very proud that day.
