Chapter 1 - INTRODUCTION

Male Lead; Shreyas Iyer

Shreyas Iyer is calm in chaos — a man who thrives under pressure but lives with an almost disarming ease. There's a natural charisma to him, something between street-smart Mumbai resilience and the elegance of a man deeply in control of his emotions. He doesn't speak much unless he has something to say. But when he does, it matters.

What defines Shreyas isn't just his cricketing brain or his captaincy instincts — it's his heart. He's fiercely loyal to the people he loves. Family isn't just a support system to him; it's the core of who he is. His bond with his parents is grounded in deep respect, and he often speaks of their sacrifices like someone who hasn't forgotten where he came from — and never will.

He's the kind of person who remembers birthdays, checks in when no one else does, and makes space in his life for those who matter, no matter how busy the world gets. That same softness comes through in his love for animals — especially dogs. You'll often find him off the field with a gentle smile and a pup in his arms, like the world slows down for those simple, quiet moments.

Shreyas leads with empathy — not just in cricket, but in life. He's competitive, yes. Fiercely. But underneath the crisp shots and captain's cap is someone who still values kindness over applause, and people over trophies.

Female lead ; Savy Malhotra

She's a paradox — calm like still water one moment, a storm the next. A woman who learned young that silence could be a shield, but also a weapon. People call her cold, sometimes even cruel. But they don't know what she's buried to become who she is.

She was supposed to build engines, not dreams. Her parents pushed her into the Merchant Navy — a life she lived with discipline but never with desire. What she really wanted was to steer the ship, not just keep it running. Captain, not engineer. But when the wheel was taken from her hands, she quietly handed it to her younger brother. Sixteen years old and already in the IPL, playing under Shreyas — not by accident, but by her design. She fought everyone for that — even her parents. Especially them.

That's the thing about her. She won't raise her voice unless it's to protect someone she loves. Her brother. Her grandmother. A child on the street. A stray dog limping on the side of the road. She has a heart that bends in private but never breaks in public — and a mind sharp enough to play ten moves ahead.

People see the edge, the cool stare, the way she doesn't bother with small talk — and they assume she's heartless. But the ones who matter know better. They know she remembers the book you mentioned once, the story you said you loved. They know she hides candy for the kids in her building and stays up late reading stories she'll never admit made her cry.

She leads like she lives — without asking for permission. Not loud, but clear. Not always kind, but never careless.

And somewhere between the chaos she creates and the calm she carries, you realize: she's not just fighting the world. She's rewriting the rules.

I won't be giving side characters now because I don't know how many will added will be with time but I can give some important one's with whom starting chapters will interact.

Navya Malhotra ; Younger brother of Savy. He haven't faced any kind of problem in his life because his sister was always been like a shield.He is sixteen and in ipl team pbks leaded By Shreyas Iyer. He is playing ipl for the first time after playing good in other domestic tournaments.He is eight years younger then her and she loves him more then anything. He always wanted to a cricketer and parents didn't supported him So,his sister stood against everyone and here he.

There are going to be many characters So it should be surprise right !?

I won't be giving flashbacks or anything story will start from the real start only….and there I aren't plots….Story would be Romantic and funny sometimes, but around her things are always serious…can she be turned to her old self !? That lovely Savy she used to be!?

Tropes ; Age gap ( she is 24 and he is 32),Childhood crush (Savy was a teenager too and she had string crush on Shreyas when she turned 14 but that crush vanished not so fastly it stayed with her until she was forced into engineering and she forgot about everything else) Forbidden Love (being a cricketer and normal dating life !? Not possible )
