Hey guys 👋🏻

I hope you are fans of the Indian Cricket Team (Both the Men's Team and the Women's Team)

Here's a little birthday surprise for you all from my side and I really hope you guys like it.

Now let me explain about how this story came to be...

While reading a lot of stories about the men's team, I thought about writing my own story with some of my favourite members of the Indian Cricket Team. (Thank you parison and many others for writing such wonderful ICT stories that I have enjoyed over the past few months since I first discovered them)

Being a girl who has dealt with a lot of judgement for enjoying activities that are said to be appropriate only for boys, I chose to write a story about a female cricketer. The protagonist's characteristics are sort of inspired by me, which makes this story a little extra special to me.

Now I also happen to be a proud MSDian, so I really wanted to include my idol in my first cricket story.

This story will include some of the players of both the Indian Cricket Teams, but the events that take place in this story are completely fictional, even if they might be slightly inspired from some real-life incidents.

I have planned to include some of the legends of Indian Cricket like Mithali Raj and Sourav Ganguly, along with current stars like Harmanpreet Kaur and Virat Kohli who are currently playing with youngsters like Shafali Verma and Shubman Gill.

The relation all these real and fictional characters will share will be as per my imagination, which may or may not be influenced by somethings that I might have read somewhere.

Any girl here who has been labelled as a 'Tomboy' or been told to 'Act like a Girl' (I don't know what the phrase means actually)

Who here has heard people say the phrase "Ladkiyan toh Cricket nahi khelti" or "Ladkiyan Cricket nahi khel sakti" (Translations: "Girls don't play Cricket" or "Girls can't play Cricket")
