As the ball travels towards the bat...
...hearts skip a beat, sighs are heard.
Everything can change in moments.
Anything is possible in this unique game.
Cricket is our life, says India.
We love Cricket, we love the game.
Cricket is our life, it's our fame.
Cricket is our life, says India.
Come on and play.
Play.
There's cricket here, there's cricket there.
Cricket is everywhere.
Cricket in the sunny days, or in the winter.
Cricket, even during the monsoon.
Cricket in the villages, cricket in the cities.
Cricket on the fields...
If there are no fields, then play cricket on the roofs.
Cricket is our life, says India.
We love cricket, we love the game.
Cricket is our life, it's our fame.
Cricket is our life, says India.
There is chaos on all the streets. - Vijay Shekhawat is a thief!
Down with! - Vijay Shekhawat!
Yes, it's the same cricketer, Vijay Shekhawat...
...whom we used to worship until yesterday.
But he has let his fans down.
As you can see, an angry mob has gathered in...
...front of his house in Jaisalmer.
This is Sanjay Sharma, reporting from Jaisalmer.
Down with! - Vijay Shekhawat!
The Vijay Merchant trophy for the best batsman is being awarded to...
...Vijay Shekhawat of SVP Vidyalaya (school) Jaisalmer, Rajasthan.
Yes! Thank you!
That's my son.
Father!
He made two centuries and three half centuries.
Father! This is for you.
Down with! - Vijay Shekhawat!
'Father, one day, I'll be the best batsman in the world.'
'I'm sure you will be.'
Stop all this. What's going on?
What's going on here?
He is not in a state to talk to us.
And seeing the countrymen's fury...
...they will throw him out of the city.
Ram Singh!
Uncle!
Ram Singh! Ram Singh! We can't trust the crowd!
They won't spare you!
Let's go from here!
The house is on fire.
Come on, let's go!
Hurry up! Let's go.
Move back! Come on!
Move back!
Move back! Come on!
Hey, old man!
Where have you hidden him?
Get him out!
No, Uncle!
Don't go, please.
Get lost from here! Get going!
Move back!
Call the fire brigade! - Yes.
The idiots have set it ablaze.
Why are you abusing them?
I would have done the same thing...
...had I been in their place.
Your son is like a lion on the pitch.
What have you fed him?
Vedpal, your coaching has borne fruits.
Hey, Ajit! Complete your 50 at least!
I have played 102 balls.
I'm giving you the stand. What else do you expect?
That's what you've been doing all the time.
After all, I'm not Vijay Shekhawat.
God gifted player.
You are a politician's son!
You will talk diplomatically.
One day, your son will take India by surprise.
Take it from me.
Let's see, how the Ranji trophy cricket selectors ignore Vijay now.
Why do you look so upset?
I have to go to the toilet urgently.
You are smiling.
We still need 40 runs to win.
And this guard is putting pressure down my pelvis.
Play without the guard.
Once you hit the ball, you can relieve yourself on the pitch.
Quiet! You think it's a joke.
Once more.
Six.
Yes.
Seven six!
I had to smash the bowler so that you can run to the toilet. Go, run!
You are God!
When you die, I will erect an altar in your memory...
...right outside my bathroom.
Well played, Viju.
After this innings, your selection is guaranteed.
That's what you say each time.
Forget the past.
This time my heart says that you will surely play for the Ranji Trophy.
You surely will.
Viju! Hey!
How are you? - Fine.
Hello, Aunt. - Bless you, Son.
Here, take the offerings.
Sweets! - I'll have that.
He can have that.
Vijay, I heard you were very good yesterday.
It was sheer luck.
Well done.
Can I take Nandu along?
But come back before dusk.
Yes.
Madam, I too have to leave for the office.
Come on.
Nandu, this is my temple.
I need just one chance. Just one...
...to prove myself to the world.
I'll break all the batting records, one after the other.
I'll be counted amongst batting giants like...
...Sachin, Gavaskar and Dravid.
I'll live life king-size, just like them.
Have millions of fans.
When I enter the stadium to play for India...
...everyone will scream out my name.
Viju! Viju!
Come here.
Come here and stand with me.
Close your eyes and listen to their cries.
Viju! Viju!
How much would that be, Nandu?
Viju! What happened?
Nandu, I don't think my dream will ever come true.
I can't even qualify for the Ranji.
Come on.
You'll surely be selected this time.
Uncle was saying that the selectors were very impressed.
I have been impressing them for the past seven years.
But at the time of selection, they seem more impressed...
...by the contacts of rich dads.
They don't understand my pain.
Viju, don't say that.
If I don't get selected this time, I don't know what I'll do.
Don't sound so hopeless.
If they don't select you this time...
...then I will personally beat them black and blue.
You are sure to be selected.
Mr. Ram Singh!
You've come so late today.
Hey Viju. Listen... - Ajit!
Viju!
Did you read the newspaper? - No.
I was selected.
They rejected you.
I can't believe it.
Congratulations. - Thank you.
Viju, I'm sorry.
Why are you doing this?
What are you punishing my son for?
Who are you talking to?
He is deaf!
Viju. Listen...
Viju, what are you doing?
Throw them in the dustbin, Father.
Don't be discouraged. You have a lot of talent.
Of what use is that, dad?
How can this talent ever benefit me?
Ajit has been selected...
...just because he is a politician's son.
I can't take it anymore.
I am giving up Cricket, Dad.
What are you saying?
You are just 24...
...and you're accepting defeat so soon.
There are so many players who started their international careers...
...at much later stages of their lives.
Take Mike Hussey or Shaun Udal for instance.
Had they given up like you...
...they could've never played for their country.
What do you want me to do?
Keep playing and fall on my face each time?
For how long?
Until they don't break me completely.
Or I don't commit suicide.
No, I didn't mean that.
I don't want you to lose hope so soon.
Hope, Dad?
This is Jaisalmer.
A small city cut off from the real world.
Even hope takes time to reach here.
Viju!
Ram Singh!
Here.
Why are you so upset?
I have great news for you. You'll be so happy.
Come on.
Team India has reached Jaipur...
...to prepare for their forthcoming Australia tour.
The three day long conditioning camp...
...has already started in Jaipur's Sawai stadium.
And as you can see, the people of Jaipur...
...are very eager to see their players in action. - Viju! Viju!
Vedpal has come up with such a great idea.
Tell him. - Sit.
Tell him about it.
Look, son, the Indian team needs some local batsmen for net practice.
The team coach will be present too.
If you are able to impress him, then anything is possible.
Just come prepared tomorrow morning.
Isn't that a spectacular idea?
No, I won't play cricket.
Have you gone crazy?
Players like you are one in a million.
That's what dad and you think.
That's what we all think.
What will you do if you don't play cricket?
Anything, Nandu.
I'll manage the shop, find a job...
But I won't play cricket.
Does the entire world thrive on cricket?
Don't talk like a loser, Viju.
Cricket is your life.
Can you live without it?
What makes you think I'm living, Nandu?
I'm dying for cricket.
I'd always thought that if I have a son, I'll make him a cricketer.
When you were born, I felt my dreams being fulfilled.
You were just five...
...when I bought you your first cricket bat.
You wouldn't go to bed without it.
Dad, go and sleep.
Viju, forgive me...
...if I've imposed my dream upon you.
Dad! - Viju...
But Dad, this will be my last effort.
Coach.
You! You, come on.
Akhil sir.
This boy has come from Jaisalmer.
Give him one chance to play.
He's a fantastic player. - Yes.
Look, this is not a selection.
It's just a practice.
Yes, but sir...
Please! - Sir...
Please!
Please stop this nonsense.
We have come here to practice and not to give interviews.
Please leave the ground.
Sir, please... - Please show them out.
No, I am sorry. I am sorry. - Viju.
No, I am sorry. No interviews.
Please.
Coach! - What?
I am sorry, sir. I've seen a lot of your interviews.
And you've always stated that...
...every able player can play for India.
And the Indian team needs players who have spirit and determination.
I have both, coach.
All I need is one chance.
Just one chance.
Please move aside. One minute. - Who is he?
He's my son, Vijay Shekhawat.
Sir, he's a very good player.
Just give him one chance.
I'm pleading you. - Please!
Who are you pleading to, Dad? Who are you begging to?
They can only give idealistic statements in the interviews.
Shut up.
Your politics discourages many youngsters...
...who in-turn either commit suicide or give up the sport.
Just like I am going to. Come, dad.
Please don't mind. - Excuse me.
Excuse me, come here.
Every cricketer thinks that he can play for India.
But to play for India, you need to display...
If you have the courage, then pick up the bat...
...or else, leave the ground.
You know why I named you Vijay (Victory).
Go and smash the ball to pieces.
Yes!
Sixer!
That's all.
See.
That's an amazing bat.
Is it made of wood or iron?
You should also breathe in between the shots.
It was fun watching you bat.
All the very best. - Thank you!
Best of luck. - Thank you!
Are you the selector of Rajasthan? - Yes.
And you don't find this boy worthy of your team?
My son.
When is your next match?
Tomorrow, with Mumbai.
I want to see this boy in tomorrow's match.
Do you understand? - But sir, the team has been selected...
Do you understand?
Vijay, just a moment.
You are playing the Ranji match tomorrow, against Mumbai.
All the best.
Thank you, Coach.
Yes.
Dad!
Bye. - Nandini! Nandini!
Viju will first play for the Ranji, and then the Indian team.
May you live long.
Forget about me and listen. So, quickly get married to Viju...
...or else some actress will entice him away.
Marriage.
You think the same way as the rest of the world.
Viju only considers me as his friend.
Is it? Then?
Gone.
Viju!
Viju! Viju! Viju! Viju!
Ten sixes and eighteen fours!
I haven't seen a better batsman than him.
What do you have to say, Mr. Sidhu?
Mr. Sidhu!
I am spellbound! Awestruck!
The runs were flowing in...
...like a gushing river-current.
This boy Shekhawat isn't just knocking on the doors of...
...the Indian team.
He is bringing them down.
The team must have been announced by now.
Viju! - Yes!
The team must have been announced by now.
Yes, it must have been.
Are you nervous? - Why should I be?
You are looking nervous.
What rubbish!
I'm not nervous...
...because I know, this time you will be selected.
Really! You feel so.
I know that. You wait and watch.
If I get selected, it will be really unbelievable.
Viju! - Viju!
Viju. - What happened?
Viju! - Viju.
What happened?
Viju! - Viju!
Yes! Say it.
How do I tell you this news?
To hell with cricket!
God is very rude. He's never fair.
Come on, tell me what has happened?
What to say, the committee has decided.
In the end, everything was fine. Viju is surely in the team.
Yes!
Viju! You're selected.
Viju, where are you going?
To tell father.
Viju! - Dad...
You're going to play for your country.
Keep it close to your heart.
'You're going to play for your country.'
'Keep it close to your heart.'
There are more than 100 million Indians. - Sir.
And every Indian dreams to play for team India.
We are a cricket-crazy country.
But only 11 fortunate ones get this chance.
Sir. Yes. - Sit down. Please, sit down.
Vijay, their dreams, happiness and...
...pride rest in the hands of these 11 players.
And you are one of them.
Because now, they'll live their dream through you.
You are next.
All the best.
Thank you, Coach.
Coach!
Bless you.
Goddess Kali... India's score is 58/3.
Protect Viju. - Bret Lee is on a hat trick.
Vijay Shekhawat is the next batsman who is coming to bat for India.
He's a new player.
Mani, what do you know about him?
I know as much as you do.
But I do know that he has played only one match.
He scored a double century in his debut match.
And that's why he was given a direct entry into international cricket.
The coach, Dilip Malhotra, has full faith in him.
He thinks very highly of him.
Viju is next.
We've noticed many a times...
...that if Imran Khan liked anyone, or felt that he's a match-winner...
...he would give him a direct entry into international cricket.
Don't be tense, Viju. Play well.
All the best. - Okay.
Brett.
He's your third target.
The players will surely put some psychological pressure on him.
Vijay, play your game.
Talking nonsense is their habit.
There had arguments with Alan Border too.
The Australians are famous for it.
Brett Lee is ready to bowl his hat trick.
Vijay Shekhawat is ready to face it.
Brett Lee bowls... And that was a close call.
He was lucky that the ball didn't hit the outside edge of the bat.
Considering the kind of shot that he played...
...he'll have to be very careful. - Careful, Vijay.
International cricket is not that easy.
He has played only one first-class match. - Careful.
The fastest bowler in the world, Brett Lee...
...can bowl at a speed of more than 150 km/hr.
Second ball on the helmet.
And it will be a very big test for Vijay Shekhawat.
This is no tennis ball. This can crack skulls.
Are you okay? - It's okay. Good.
To hell with them. - He shouldn't lose his control.
Take a single and give me the strike.
I'll teach him a lesson. - Okay.
The ball passed right through Brett Lee's head.
Very good!
What a ball-killer of a shot! It just whisked and passed near Brett Lee.
Yes, what happened? - Sixer.
You were right, fool. This ball can crack skulls.
Vijay!
Come on!
Just six runs needed to complete a century in his first match.
Atul, from whatever little I know of him...
...I know he'll try to hit a six.
So that he can score a century in his first match.
And if you take a look at his wagon-wheel...
...he has played shots all over the field.
Vijay Shekhawat has emerged as a complete player.
Very few players get the chance to score a century in their first match.
Stuart Clarke is going for his run-up.
Stuart Clarke is ready to bowl his next ball.
Vijay Shekhawat seems absolutely prepared. - What's he going to bowl?
Again a short-pitched ball.
And a pull shot.
The ball is travelling outside the ground.
No one seems to have a chance.
And that's six runs.
Vijay Shekhawat has scored a century in his first match.
The man of the match award goes to Vijay Shekhawat.
Congratulations! - Great!
Well, Vijay, congratulations!
How do you feel?
It feels... good!
Very good.
As I've fulfilled my father's dreams today.
Father, I owe every run scored from my bat and...
...every moment spent on the pitch, to you.
Congratulations, Ram Singh. Your dreams have been fulfilled.
How will you celebrate this century?
By scoring another century in the next match.
Well done! - Thank you.
The brilliant performance of Vijay Shekhawat...
...has added another chapter in the history of Indian cricket.
It seems as though Rajasthan just sent...
...a Vivian Richards for the Indian team.
Five runs to win.
That was superb.
It's incredible century, the way he promised.
He needs one more run to win this game for India.
Yes!
Wow!
Yes!
By four wickets...
Second consecutive century by Vijay Shekhawat.
I love you.
You must be proud of your son.
Of course. So must be all of you.
Viju is representing the entire nation.
Manika and Navjyot Singh Sidhu say this at the top of their voices...
...that this boy Shekhawat, will make history in cricket.
It's now time to announce the man of the match...
...and it's this man over here, Vijay Shekhawat!
Yes!
Congratulations. - Thank you. - Well done.
Yes!
Don't you go anywhere now, because you're also the man of the series!
Uncle.
Congratulations again.
Yes!
Hi!
The chief minister sir has called.
The CM. - Who is it?
The Chief Minister. - Hello.
Chief Minister. - Yes.
Thank you.
Welcome! Congratulations Vijay.
Welcome!
These days, all the girls from my class are asking for your number.
Shall I give them?
Viju, what's wrong?
Nandu, pinch me.
What? - Pinch me.
Not so hard.
You told me to.
I wanted to know if this was all a dream.
It's not. Everything is real.
Shall I pinch you again? - Really, Nandu?
My life is on track now.
I'm so happy, Nandu.
My life is on track now.
Viju!
Andy Singh, India's biggest celebrity manager.
He has called Viju, Uncle.
That means, we'll now see Viju on TV doing really cheap commercials.
Lux underwear and... - No way!
I won't do any cheap commercials, Father.
I'll model for cars, mobile phones, suiting...
That means, from a batsman, you'll become a salesman.
Check the tie.
Is that fine, Dad? - Yes.
So, Nandu. How am I looking?
Uncle, doesn't he look like one of those guys that sell pills?
Father! - What are you saying?
You don't sell ordinary pills in a suit.
You sell imported ones.
For indigestion. - Hawker!
Hawker! - Laugh as much as you want. I am leaving.
Wear the coat.
Sure, sir.
I'll send you all the contracts, and you may sign on them.
If you have any queries, you can call me.
Hi, Vijay.
Hi. - Welcome.
I suppose, you both know each other.
Mr. Jayasuriya and Mr. Mendes. - Hi, Vijay Shekhawat.
You know this guy.
Hi, Vijay Shekhawat. - He's the guy who destroyed Brett Lee.
Hi. - Nice meeting you all.
Okay, bye. Let's go.
Are they Andy's clients? - Yes!
Mr. Singh will join you soon.
It's okay.
All right, let's do this.
Okay. - This is one of my favorite.
Yes Yuvi, we'll finalise the watch endorsement contract.
Fine, let's have lunch tomorrow.
Okay, bye. - Sir.
I'm a straightforward man. I don't talk in riddles.
Do you like money? - What?
Good, bad, ugly.
Good.
Good, I'll make you the most successful...
...and the richest sports star.
Let our company manage all your business and marketing.
Here is a small advance.
Four million rupees. - Forty million.
I will help you rake in so much money...
...you must've not seen in the wildest of your dreams.
So, it's a deal.
Yes.
Prince of Jaisalmer, let's celebrate.
What will you have?
I don't drink and...
None of the sportsmen drink at the outset.
Forty. Wow!
How wonderful, Viju! Look, Ram Singh.
40 million. - A cheque for 40 million.
For 40 million.
Nice. Now, quickly keep it next to the temple, Son.
Your heart must be thumping with joy. - Father!
But you're still asking him to keep the cheque in the temple.
Viju has made you a millionaire!
A millionaire, Ram Singh.
Father, lets buy a new house.
This house is very old.
No! Your grandfather had made this house.
I'll stay in this house.
In that case, let's buy a big car.
Mercedes.
Hey, Mercedes? What will I do...
Then why don't you go on a world tour?
Yes, Ram Singh. Visit London and Tokyo.
We'll come along. Right, Chander? - Yes!
Fools, what are you all saying?
Son, do one thing.
Deposit this cheque in the bank.
They'll get good interest.
Interest! Father, I want to see you happy.
You are playing for our country.
What can make me happier than that?
What is he saying?
Father, I can never understand you.
But I... - I will show this cheque to Nandu.
At least, she will be happy.
I'm happy too, Son. Don't get upset.
Nandu, watch carefully. It's a cheque of 40 million.
Father didn't even give it a second look.
But I am.
All he said was to go deposit it in the bank.
And that I'll get interest for it.
He shouldn't have said that.
Exactly. He spoilt my mood.
I had thought of such amazing things for him.
That I'll buy a bungalow...
...a few cars for him, provide him with a lavish lifestyle.
Lavish lifestyle... - You want to give him a lavish life.
How? Okay, go tell him to have fun. Sorry.
Viju, you look so cute.
Nandu, return me my cheque.
Everyone in Jaisalmer is the same.
You don't know how much the world respects me.
Andy Singh calls me the Prince of Jaisalmer.
Prince... Prince... Forgive my impudence.
Nandu, I want to give father everything.
You tell dad.
Simple. You are a prince.
Issue an order that, father, go and have a good time right now.
Uncle won't have the courage to refuse a prince.
Nandu...
Wait, I will show you.
Viju.
India, there's all sorts of trouble here 160/5...
...and this boy walks to the crease, Vijay Shekhawat.
Beautiful shot.
A magnificent shot and the ball has left the field!
And that's a six!
Vijay, we want victory.
Listen to the heart, it wants victory.
We want to wear the crown of victory.
Victory! Victory!
India wants victory!
Victory! Victory!
Vijay, we want victory.
Listen to the heart, it wants victory.
We want to wear the crown of victory.
India wants victory!
Pick up the bat.
Hit a six.
Swing the bat.
With the help of Vijay Shekhawat's century...
...team India defeats South Africa.
And wins the series 2-0.
Make India win!
Swing the bat.
Hit a six.
Swing the bat.
Hit a six.
Pump up the adrenaline.
Shock them out of their wits.
Grab victory for India.
Hey, prince, you have to attend a marriage tomorrow night.
They are willing to pay five million.
You have to be there for only ten minutes.
Andy, I am a cricketer. Not a buffoon.
Swing the bat. Hit a six.
There's been a prince in cricket.
There's been a king in cricket.
Now, there's an emperor in cricket.
Vijay!
Show them your skill, show them your style.
Show them your game.
Crush the opponents.
You are the strength of India.
Vijay! Vijay!
You are India's pride!
Vijay! Vijay!
No one can stop you.
Swing the bat.
Hit a six.
Swing the bat.
Thankfully, I am retired now.
At least, I don't have to bowl to Vijay Shekhawat.
Hi. - Dinner.
Ponting...
Vijay Shekhawat, caught behind.
How was it?
You look like a hero.
Vijay!
Fool...
Viju is only mine.
Autograph, please. - Move back.
Gentlemen, to the deal.
Vijay Shekhawat.
Vijay!
The bowler and the fielder seem distressed.
Everyone is thinking how to stop this storm.
Everyone wants Vijay!
Like the crack of the whip.
Vijay! Vijay!
The tricolour soars high again.
East or west, Vijay Shekhawat is the best.'
Any batsman who can break my fastest 50 record, it is Vijay Shekhawat.
He is the pride and the joy.
Vijay! Vijay!
He is our symbol.
Vijay! Vijay!
He is the glory.
Vijay! Vijay!
The pride of India.
The winner of the ICC one day international player of the year is...
...Vijay Shekhawat. He is just fabulous.
Swing the bat.
Hit another six.
Swing the bat.
Hit another six.
Thank you everyone. Thank you for this.
I am pleased to announce, the ICC batsman of the year...
...Mr. Vijay Shekhawat...
...has decided to extend our relations for another three years.
Ladies and gentlemen...
I am proud to announce the biggest sports deal ever in India.
A deal for one hundred crore for three years.
Andy...
A hundred crore is nothing when compared to your talent, my friend.
Fantastic.
I now request Mr. Shekhawat to accept an advance of 100 million.
And ladies and gentlemen, I present Mr. Vijay Shekhawat to you.
All yours. - Thank you.
One billion is not much.
How do you feel, Mr. Shekhawat?
A deal for one billion. It feels very nice.
I have brought myself a hen that lays golden eggs.
Vijay Shekhawat will earn me one billion back through commission.
What if someday he stops laying the golden eggs?
This hen is addicted to success. It will only lay golden eggs.
Andy Singh... he is like a brother to me.
Love you, my friend. Love you!
Son, why did you call me to Mumbai instead of coming to Jaisalmer?
Dad, there's a surprise for you.
We should go back soon. It's the tourist season.
Dad, come.
Dad. - Greetings. - Here.
Hello. - Come.
Ask them to sit in the boardroom. Hold on.
Greetings. - He is Andy.
It's hello, Andy. - Hello.
Is this his house?
Take a look around, Father. - Come.
Please, go on, take a look.
This is the gym.
There's a cinema hall inside the house?
Cinema! It's a big screen television, Dad.
Television.
That's the bedroom.
And you have the full view of the sea.
Amazing! But whose house is it?
I'll tell that later to you. - Come on.
This way, Dad.
Up ahead, there's a...
What's wrong, Dad? - It's a glass bridge.
It's absolutely fine, Dad.
Come on.
What are you doing?
Keep your eyes closed.
What are you doing? - Careful, Dad.
I want to show you something you have never seen before.
You can see the whole of Mumbai.
But tell me, whose house is this?
Father, this house belongs to your son.
Me. - How much rent do you pay?
Rent?! Dad, I have bought this place.
You!
My son!
How did you like your son's new house?
Just a minute. That means, you will stay in Mumbai now.
Dad, Andy feels that I should stay in Mumbai.
Actually, Uncle...
Sorry, can I call you uncle?
Actually, Uncle, Viju is hot property for the sponsors.
Shootings, meetings, participating in events...
And then, cricket practice.
This way, commuting will be very difficult.
What's so difficult?
All he has to do is catch a flight.
Dad, he'll be tired.
And it will affect the game.
Dad, I was thinking... - I know you both have a lot of catching up to do.
I'll take your leave. See you, Uncle.
See you, Andy.
Dad, don't go back to Jaisalmer.
I'll get your luggage.
What's wrong, Dad? What are you thinking?
Son, Andy doesn't look me in the eye while talking.
Is he a good man?
Father, look where Andy has brought me today.
He's a fantastic businessman.
And he treats me just like a younger brother.
Don't get so tense.
I've grown old.
And often, people like us from small towns...
...go astray amidst the glitz and glamour of big cities.
Dad, I'll never go astray.
And if I do, I know you'll pull me back.
Look, you have grown old.
What nonsense!
Sir, the food has been laid.
Someone has sent something very special for you.
Really! Come on.
Here's red meat. - Nandini has sent it.
She has made it herself.
Nandu...
That's very delicious.
Nandu...
What happened? - Dad, it's so spicy.
Nandu, I will...
So, your son's tongue was on fire.
You are mad.
So, what was Viju's surprise?
He has bought a huge house.
Worth 250 million.
Why?
Will he rent it out?
No, dear.
He will stay in Mumbai now.
He says that he finds travelling very hectic.
Hello, Father.
Here, talk to him.
Here. - Nandu.
Hello, Nandu.
I bet I took dad by surprise.
Yes, me too.
Congratulations for the new house, Viju. - Thank you.
I'm getting late. Got to go.
Fine, bye.
Nandu was completely shocked.
She would always tease me calling me the Prince of Jaisalmer.
Prince of Mumbai!
She must be shocked to hear that the house costs 250 million.
By now, she must have told everyone.
Jaisalmer, uncle Laraine...
'That day I felt my son had really become the king of the world.'
'But I was scared too.'
'Leaving Viju alone with Andy in Mumbai was a big mistake.'
Yes, confirmed, Vijay Shekhawat will be there.
Viju. - Yes.
I've booked a show for tomorrow.
Tomorrow - Yes.
But my conditioning camps are starting from tomorrow.
Yes, so don't go.
That's impossible, Andy. - What?
Impossible.
Do one thing.
Just continue playing cricket.
And just forget about becoming the richest sportsman.
There's a very subtle difference between a sport and a game...
...which you will never understand.
Jenny, cancel the lousy show.
Hey, can you send us some drinks please?
Stop!
Andy, they are using makeup and clips on me. I am not a girl.
I am a cricketer.
Stop.
Come on, Vijay.
They are paying you 10 million.
For 10 million, I can do a striptease.
Oh, Sweetheart!
Vijay!
Money! Money!
Your match is about to start!
Very sorry, sir!
Money! Money!
Show me the money and take the honey.
Money! Money!
There's an ad-film shoot tomorrow.
Tomorrow! - Yes. - Tomorrow is my match.
This is my year, remember.
Money. Money.
They're all good. Pack all five.
Are you mad, Andy? - Come on.
The one that lives life.
The one that can live with ease.
That can cash-in in the world.
Don't be shy.
You can commit any sin...
...whether there's a tomorrow or not.
Do as you please.
Pick up the glass, bring it near your lips.
Indulge yourself in everything.
It will change... Your fate has to change.
Heaven! Heaven!
Come, let me show you heaven!
Heaven! Heaven!
Money! Money!
When success and stardom comes with ease, it messes up the mind.
So, this is our cricket star Vijay Shekhawat and his lifestyle.
Hello, Father. - Son, what is this that I am watching?
I'll call you later. I am sleeping now.
Hello.
Life is like a poison.
Life is like a dream.
Live your life as you please.
Heaven.
Life is lust and life is special.
Life is beautiful, have temptation!
Life is full of sensation.
Why live a simple life?
Live life on the edge.
Let the drinks flow.
Heaven.
It will change... Your fate has to change.
Heaven! Heaven!
Vijay Shekhawat scores another century.
The man of the match award goes to Vijay Shekhawat.
There are many cricketers. - But there's only one star.
Vijay. - Andy. Deal! 10 crore!
Go, Vijay go!
The one that lives life.
The one who can live with ease.
Who can cash-in in the world.
I own the world.
I have the right to fame.
I live as I please.
Go out there.
Show it to the world what you are made of.
Yes, that's your heaven.
Vijay, have you seen the time?
I'll have to report you.
Write this in your report. The world salutes Vijay Shekhawat.
Heaven! Heaven!
No one has begun in the game, Vijay.
Heaven! Heaven!
Come, let me show heaven to you.
Vijay Shekhawat, he lived life king-size.
Heaven! Heaven!
Heaven!
Go! Go.
Stop!
Come on out.
Come out, Viju.
Come. - Viju.
I said that I'll make you a star.
Star! - Prince!
Here's your kingdom.
Look!
You are everywhere.
Just you!
Just you, my friend.
Andy! I love you, Andy. - Vijay Shekhawat, big star.
Yes.
Yes, Viju. - Nandu, were you sleeping?
Yes. - Then get up.
You always said that God is everywhere.
But from the place where I'm standing, all I can see is me.
God is nowhere to be seen.
Viju, are you drunk?
Yes! - God Vijay Shekhawat!
Look, Nandu!
Look what Andy is saying.
He's saying, God Vijay Shekhawat.
God Vijay Shekhawat.
I am God!
Vijay Shekhawat is God.
I am God! Finish!
Vijay Shekhawat is ready. Fernando bowls...
Clean bowled.
For the first time in his career...
...Vijay has been clean bowled for a duck.
No one can believe it.
Vijay Shekhawat is looking towards the stump.
He can't believe it either.
Atul, it was apparent from his lifestyle...
...that for the past many months, he's not concentrating on his game.
You're here.
Where are you going?
I am going to the nets. - Why? Don't go to the nets.
No! - Hello... - Come on. Please. - Andy! - Come on.
Andy, I have to practice. - Come on, baby.
Chaminda Vaas to Shekhawat.
Prince, don't you want to play the match?
I can play the match blindfolded.
It is turning to be a nightmare of a series for Shekhawat.
What's happening to Vijay Shekhawat?
Relax, madam. Even the moon changes its shape.
Even the sun gets eclipsed.
But it doesn't stay for long.
He missed it completely. And that's a stump-out.
He's caught.
Hello, Dad.
Son, you got out for a zero again.
Weren't you playing with interest?
Excuse me.
Father, you forget.
I play for team India.
And not for the local club.
I know when to give my best.
Now... Dad, Andy is trying to call me.
I'll call you later.
Once more! - Hey, Take a walk, man.
One good game!
One good game! And Vijay will be back with a bang.
Clean bowled!
Bowled.
Oh, this is sad.
I'm not hungry.
Uncle...
Our question was, did Vijay Shekhawat's leisurely lifestyle...
...have any affect on his game?
73.5% audiences say yes.
So Mr. Vijay Shekhawat... you take care...
Why are you listening to their nonsense?
They can't do anything on their own...
...and are always jealous of others.
They say that your career is on a downfall.
How can that be?
We have signed contracts worth 200 million.
Wow!
Father. - Hello, Dad. - Hello.
So, that's what you have been teaching my son.
Get out of here. - Now.
Get out of here right now. - What do you mean?
What? - Father, what's wrong with you?
What's wrong with you?
Don't you see that he's ruining your game for the sake of money?
You are talking just like those people on television.
Just because I faired badly in a few games...
...everyone has been labeling me as a failure.
Father, those who still trust me are ready to invest millions in me.
You are saying this.
Ever since childhood, you've had only one dream.
That is, to play for India.
Was it only to make money?
Why do you hate money, Father?
Because money has ruined my son's life.
Pack your bags and come with me to Jaisalmer.
Jaisalmer.
You want to take me back to the desert that I left behind.
I have everything over here.
What's there in Jaisalmer?
This is not you. These are Andy's thoughts.
What do you have against Andy?
Andy has fulfilled all my dreams.
Today, I have enough money to buy anything that I desire.
If you can give me all these things...
...then I'm ready to come to Jaisalmer with you.
No, Son. Your poor father can't give you what Andy Singh did.
Where are you going?
Where are you going, Father?
You are very rich. Isn't it, Son?
Find yourself a new father with that money.
Dad!
Dad! Leave.
Leave! Everyone just leave!
'I have everything over here, Father.'
'What's there in Jaisalmer? '
'Today, I have enough money to buy anything that I desire.'
'Lf you can give me all these things... '
...then I'm ready to come to Jaisalmer with you.'
'What's there in Jaisalmer? '
Yes, Nandu.
Uncle, how are you?
Where are you?
I don't know.
You don't know? - Are you crying, Uncle?
Yes, Nandu.
I've never come across a selfish person such as you.
You know, uncle is wandering on the streets, crying.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
Nandu, don't talk nonsense.
You don't know anything.
I didn't start it. - Keep quiet, Viju.
I'm ashamed to call you my friend.
Go to hell, all of you!
Vijay Shekhawat has faded away.
Vijay Shekhawat will never fade away.
What's the speed? - 100!
Increase it to 120! - But sir, you haven't worn the pads.
130! - But sir...
140!
Sir, what's wrong? Sir! Are you all right?
Vijay. - Yes.
You have what we call a herniated disc between L4 and L5.
Can you please say that in simple terms?
I mean, you had an old spine injury...
...that got aggravated today.
So, is it serious? - Well, nothing to worry about.
So, I can play cricket.
No cricket for four-five months.
And complete bed rest.
I'll prescribe you some pain killers.
That should help.
Andy, inform my coach about the injury.
And then, they'll throw you out of the team.
Your performance has been poor in the last two series.
All they need is a chance to throw you out of the team.
Andy, you are over-reacting.
I've been asked to take rest.
It's just a question of few weeks.
Few weeks.
In cricket, a few weeks can change everything.
The board will get another player in your place.
And if that player plays well...
...you will lose you position in the team.
And then you may go back to Jaisalmer.
You are talking nonsense, Andy. - Nonsense!
How many years did it take you to get into the Indian team?
Seven years.
And now, wait for another seven to get back into the team.
You'll lose the house, the car, everything.
Everything.
All the contracts will be cancelled...
...and the sponsors will ask for their money.
Because every contract states that...
...it's valid until Vijay Shekhawat plays for team India.
Now, the decision is in your hands.
This is going to be one of the tough series.
It is not the game that happened last time.
But remember, Dino, last time Vijay Shekhawat was really in a good form.
Sure, he was, but at the moment, he is failing.
He's failed against England...
...he's failed against the Australians and against the Sri Lankan's.
Now, he has to put up and perform.
A big shot, it is in the air and the player catches it.
Vijay, what are you doing?
Are you okay?
I'm absolutely fine, Coach.
I felt you were a bit uncomfortable in yesterday's match.
I hope you are okay.
It was just a slight muscle strain.
I'm absolutely fine.
Cannot believe it. Cannot believe it.
Vijay Shekhawat has been failing for the last 20 consecutive matches.
Do you still believe in him?
Of course.
Absolutely.
As you know, form is temporary.
But class is permanent.
And I believe that Vijay Shekhawat will come back with a bang.
Hello.
Dad.
I wanted to hear your voice. - I'm sorry. You dialled the wrong number.
This is not Andy Singh's number.
Dad...
His injury has worsened.
I guess, we'll have to perform a surgery.
Little complicated but...
Nirav, don't tell Vijay about the surgery.
I'll have to tell him sometime.
Let me take care of this.
Nothing to worry, Prince.
Nirav will show you how to inject the pain killer.
You'll manage.
Andy, it's very easy for you to say that.
I am the one enduring the pain.
I am lying to the coach.
Come on, Prince. It's just a matter of one more series.
You have endured so much. Then why not some more?
And soon, you will be rocking.
You are my tiger.
The match between India-Pakistan is a four match series.
All eyes on Vijay Shekhawat who has been unable to perform...
...for the last three series.
Will he perform a miracle in this series?
There's a lot of pressure building.
Sohail bowls. An appeal for LBW.
And Vijay Shekhawat is out.
Oh, no! Oh, no!
Second match, Shoaib Malik is bowling.
That's a bad shot.
How is he playing?
And he has been stumped. - Throw him out of the team!
Rao lftekar is ready to bowl.
And that's clean bowled!
Vijay Shekhawat fails again.
Has Vijay Shekhawat lost his game?
Has his career reached a dead end?
There are many such questions that don't have any answers.
The question is, is Vijay Shekhawat's bad...
...form temporary or is it permanent?
Viju... - Coach.
Tomorrow's match is a do or die match.
If we lose this one, we lose the series.
I'm being pressurised to replace you with someone else.
But I'm supporting you completely.
Because I trust you.
The last match of this series.
And every Indian wants India to win this match.
As you all know, India is trailing behind by 2-1 in this series.
But the good news for the fans is that Vijay Shekhawat is back in form.
Vijay seems to be on fire with the bat.
And another splendid six!
He has hit that on square-leg.
And his body language shows that he is back in form.
And he has found a small gap in between the fielders.
But we can see that Vijay is getting a bit tired.
Vijay! Vijay!
That's wonderful footwork.
That's a brilliant six! Exactly at the centre of the bat.
Shoaib Malik is an experienced bowler.
But he seems completely helpless in front of Vijay's form today.
And he has found room between the off stump!
And he has lifted it for another six.
There! He has hit it again.
Viju! Viju!
He has picked it up again at the long-off.
He has been whacking all the bowlers.
And looking at the way he's batting today...
...I have a feeling, he'll get India back into the series.
Absolutely, he hasn't given any fielder a chance to do anything...
...whenever he's played a shot.
But if you look at the way...
...he's stretching himself...
...he seems to be having some kind of a back problem.
He has played the ball towards the square-leg...
...with the help of his wrist.
He has completed the first run quickly. Wants to take another one.
This can prove dangerous for him.
From the way he's running...
...he seems to be facing some kind of physical problem.
He's not putting in any effort.
He could have been safe, had he dived for it.
He could have reached the crease.
And that's a very big setback for India...
...because if you notice the Pakistani players' body language...
...it seems as though they have taken the most important wicket...
...and have won the match.
Absolutely, the body language of the Pakistanis show that...
...the match is completely under their control.
Vijay Shekhawat has disappointed his team...
...his supporters and his fans once again.
He was run out by just six inches.
Atul, the way he's holding his back...
...it clearly indicates that he's experiencing some fitness problem.
India has lost this series to Pakistan...
...due to Vijay Shekhawat's careless innings.
There's no place for Vijay in this team.
No more Vijay Shekhawat.
You have broken India's heart.
The Lord speaks through the masses.
And that voice is saying, Vijay Shekhawat, you have to go.
You tell them to wait.
I'll be there soon.
What's the matter, Vijay?
Why did you call me here so urgently?
This is a holy place for me.
And I have sinned here.
So, why are you so upset?
The season is over.
Let's get the treatment done.
Whenever I close my eyes...
...I can see the faces of those to whom I have lied.
I cannot sleep.
Take some sleeping pills.
Come on.
I'm going to tell the coach.
Have you gone mad?
Andy, I have made a mistake.
And I will have to make up for it.
You... Make up...
You will be ruined and take me with you.
I have invested a lot of money in you.
I can't let you throw away all that money.
Stop it, Andy.
I have betrayed my team, my country and my father for this money.
To hell with your team, your country and your father!
To hell with you, Andy!
Prince, listen to me.
Don't go.
Coach, did you get my message?
Coach, I...
I'm ashamed to say that I'm the manager...
...of a treacherous player like Vijay Shekhawat.
Three months ago, Dr. Nirav Shah advised Vijay Shekhawat...
...to get his back operated.
Here.
Coach, I was about to tell you...
But Vijay Shekhawat hid this truth from the cricket board, his coach...
...and kept playing cricket.
He hid this truth from me too. From his manager.
Due to his injury, our team had to face defeat in many matches.
He betrayed everyone for the sake of money.
As an Indian, it's my duty to let everyone know about this truth...
...so that strict action is taken against disloyal players...
...like Vijay Shekhawat.
You should trash this idiot!
Coach, I wanted to... - Quiet.
Uncle!
Ram Singh is completely shocked.
'Viju has killed my soul.'
Vedpal!
'The crowd just lit the pyre... '
'... of my dreams, of my pride... '
'... and everything that I earned honestly in my life.'
'Father, I give you the credit for every run off my bat and... '
'... every moment spent on the pitch.'
Uncle! Uncle! Uncle!
Father! Father!
Mr. Shekhawat!
Mr. Shekhawat, open the door.
There's news for you from Jaisalmer.
It's about your father.
Mr. Shekhawat!
Sir, one question, please! - Sir, please, sir.
Doctor said he needs these medicines right now.
Uncle, how did this happen?
It's all because of you, so why do you ask?
Let's go, Shakuntala. Aunt. - Uncle.
Please Shakuntala, let's go.
Hello, Mr. Vijay. - Yes, Sir.
I am Dr. Vikas Agarwal. - Yes.
Please come.
It's better to stay childless than have such a son.
He has defamed Jaisalmer.
Mr. Ram has suffered a brain hemorrhage...
...due to which his left side has been completely paralysed.
Doctor, will he be fine again?
Judging by his age, I can't say anything.
But one thing's certain.
Your father is a strong man.
Usually after such attacks, a person slips into coma or...
Doctor, can I see my father please? - Yes. - Thank you.
Come on. Vijay. Come in.
Have you checked the temperature. -Ram Singh...
...look who has come to meet you.
Go away!
- Ram Singh.
Father, please forgive me. - Ram Singh, don't move.
Forgive me. - Take him away. - Uncle.
Viju, leave!
Father, please.
Viju, leave from here. - What happened to you, father!
Father! - Leave from here, or else uncle's condition will worsen.
Nandu, what happened to father? - Just go!
Doctor! Nurse! Please.
Collect the MRI report from the first floor.
You'll get all three reports from the ground floor.
Get the X-ray report from there too.
Coach!
You...
Go!
Mr. Shekhawat, how is your father's condition now?
Mr. Shekhawat, answer us.
Shame on him! He had gone to play for his country...
...but sold his conscience instead.
He's responsible for his father's ruin!
This is not what I'd imagined.
How could this happen?
What have I done?
There's darkness everywhere.
I can't see a single ray of light.
I am lost.
I had never imagined this. - Excuse me.
My hopes have been shattered.
I never thought this would happen.
Uncle!
Doctor! Nurse!
Come quickly.
Uncle!
My life, my world...
...is a gift from you!
Whenever I staggered, you held me too.
My life, my world...
...is a gift from you!
But I proved to be a curse to you.
Due to Vijay Shekhawat's scandal...
...our company and sponsors have suffered losses worth millions.
That's why we are suing him for 500 million.
This is not what I'd imagined.
How could this happen?
What have I done?
The cricket board has decided to suspend...
...Vijay Shekhawat from team India...
...and ban him from international cricket for six months.
We have to return in a week for a check-up.
Uncle, come.
Father...
Vijay, this is a civil case.
It can go on for 10-12 years.
And then, that fraud Andy Singh...
He will go for a settlement.
I don't want any settlement.
Give Andy Singh whatever he wants.
Stop being emotional, Vijay.
You'll go bankrupt.
You won't be left with a single penny.
I don't want their money.
Nandu.
I feel completely alone, Nandu.
At least, you don't ignore me.
Nandu, please forgive me.
Leave me.
How long will you hide in the dark like a coward?
If you want me to forgive you, your father to forgive you...
...your team and your fans to forgive you...
...then stop apologising and do something.
Prove it. You made a mistake as you were greedy for money...
...and now you are ready to make up for it!
Pick up the bat and play.
Nandu, I can't play again.
I completely forgot.
Vijay Shekhawat only plays for the money.
Stop it, Nandu.
I can't play even if I want to.
I have a serious back problem.
I need to undergo surgery.
And I don't have the money.
If a man realises his mistake...
...should he get another chance, Father?
Only if he realises his mistake.
Please help Viju, Father.
Uncle, I'm taking Viju to Australia...
...to get his back operated.
Viju wants to play cricket again.
Uncle!
Uncle, can you once...
Nandu, let's go.
It's time for the flight to arrive.
Yes.
There's nothing to worry about the surgery, Vijay.
You will be home in two weeks.
Good luck, Vijay. You are in very good hands.
Thank you, Dr. Smith.
Anything for you, Brett.
Thank you!
Thank you so much, Brett.
Do you think I'm doing this for you?
I'm just helping you become fit so that I can mess you up on the ground.
Thank you. - Welcome.
Don't worry, Viju.
Just relax.
Everything will be fine.
'Another house unlawfully acquired... '
Hello! - Yes, dear.
Mother, the operation was successful.
And Viju has regained consciousness too.
Thank God.
Mother, let uncle know about it. - Yes, right away.
Mother, I'll call you later.
Thank God.
Listen, Nandu had called.
Is everything fine?
Nandu was saying that Viju's operation was successful.
Congratulations, Ram Singh. Viju is well again.
It's fine.
No discomfort. - No, better.
Good.
Sorry, Vijay, but I'm breaking our hospital rules.
But can you do me a favour? - Yes!
My son John is an ardent fan of yours and he wanted to meet you.
Yes, sure.
Come in.
Wow, Vijay, I really love your hook shot.
Can I please have your autograph?
Of course, you can.
Vijay Shekhawat. - Wow.
Here you go.
Thank you. - Welcome.
Can I shake your hands too?
Here we go, Doctor.
Thanks Vijay. Have a good day.
Bye, Maria. - Bye, Doctor.
Medicine. - Come on!
Do you know where Nandu is?
She went to get a coffee.
You know, this is the first time she has left your side...
...since you went in for surgery.
The poor girl hardly slept a wink in the last 48 hours.
You're a very lucky man to have a wife like her...
Maria, she is not my wife. - Hey, Viju.
Hi Maria. - Hey, Nandini.
Are you fine? - Yes.
Bye, Nandini. - Bye.
I always knew you.
But I could never recognise you.
I never understood the heart felt this way.
What has happened in just a few moments? - What happened? - Nothing.
I can see only you, only you.
Try to walk by yourself.
Come on, walk.
That's right.
See, you can walk.
My love was always in front of me...
...but I kept looking for it.
I'd reached my destination but I was hardly aware of it.
I never understood the heart felt this way.
What has happened in just a few moments?
I can see only you, only you.
Okay?
You are doing fine, Vijay.
I think you can leave the hospital now.
You mean, we can go back to India now?
Not so soon, Nandini.
I need to see him after a week for a final check-up. - Sure.
There's only one bed here.
Your bags.
Excuse me. - Yes.
Do you have any room with two single beds?
Sorry sir, we have only doubles.
Good day.
How can I live apart with you?
Sweetheart, I cannot endure our separation.
So many desires in the heart.
Pyaar (Love)!
Viju, that's not English!
It's the same in every language.
What has happened in just a few moments?
Hey, Vijay. - Can we have a picture? - Sure.
Thank you.
Smile.
I can see only you, only you.
I always knew you.
But I could never recognise you.
I never understood the heart felt this way.
What has happened in just a few moments?
I can see only you, only you.
There's nothing to worry about.
Just continue with your physiotherapy and you will be fine.
Does that mean, I can start playing cricket soon?
Sure you can.
See you on the pitch soon.
Thank you so much, Doctor.
Thank you for everything. - Pleasure.
Bye, Doctor. - Bye, Nandini.
Son, how is your back now?
It's better.
Ram Singh, look who has come.
Viju!
Hello.
Father...
I'm going to start life afresh.
I know you won't talk to me.
At least you can bless me.
The journey is not easy.
There are many hurdles.
Many dangers lurk ahead.
Learn from your mistakes.
The journey is not easy.
There are many hurdles.
Many dangers lurk ahead.
Learn from your mistakes.
Don't be scared.
It's your test.
You will achieve victory.
Victory! Victory!
'My house! ' - 'Uncle.'
'To hell with you.'
'Find yourself a new father.'
Another dawn, a new path.
Find one for yourself.
Come on, Viju!
Another dawn, a new path. - Focus on the ball.
Find one for yourself.
That will take you to your destination.
That will help you achieve victory.
Victory! Victory!
All the best.
V for Viju!
The six month ban on Vijay Shekhawat is to end soon.
And his Ranji average is 76.
He's in top form right before Airtel Champions trophy.
Can he make it to team India again?
Let's ask Mr. Sidhu.
Madam, mistakes can destroy you.
And mistakes can also be the stepping stone to success.
What a dramatic comeback in the man's life!
Remarkable! Absolutely outstanding!
Coach! - What is it?
Coach... - If you have come here to talk about your selection...
...you can just forget it.
I am sorry, Coach.
That's all I want to say.
Hey Prince, superb shot!
Wow, that's a lovely shot!
Hey Prince, let's forget the past.
And start afresh.
Once again!
Andy and Viju together.
Prince.
Look, Vijay, it's very difficult for you to make it to the Indian team.
But your friend Andy can ensure that you do.
You are getting emotional again.
You still seem to be under your father's influence.
Last time, your father...
Don't you dare say anything against my father!
Andy, you are responsible for my father's condition.
You ruined my life.
Sir, will Vijay Shekhawat get back in the team.
Excuse me. - Sorry, no comments.
No comments. - What will the management decide?
Will he get back in the team?
Team India's coach Dilip Malhotra has arrived...
...at the Intercontinental, the Grand.
The selection committee members are going to announce...
...the Indian Team for the Airtel Trophy.
Cricket lovers all over the country have only...
...one question in their mind.
Will Vijay Shekhawat get a chance to play in team India again?
Yusuf Pathan! Rohit Sharma! Robin Uthappa!
Gautam Gambhir! Suresh Raina!
Murli Kartik! Ishant Sharma! Praveen Kumar! Munaf Patel!
And what about Vijay Shekhawat, sir?
Why aren't we talking about him?
You want Vijay Shekhawat to play?
Gentlemen, how can you trust him?
But going by his current form...
...team India needs him. - Exactly.
His average is 70!
Then why not bring all the goons in the team?
Sorry, Chairman, these are personal attacks.
No... - No, these are not personal attacks. - Please!
Gentlemen, let's take a vote.
All those in favour of Vijay Shekhawat...
...please raise your hands.
The Indian team for Airtel Champions trophy is...
Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir,
Dinesh Kartik, Suresh Raina.
Rohit Sharma, Harbajhan Singh,
Viju! Viju! - Yes!
Viju, dear, no more tears.
You have cleared the selections.
The Lord has blessed you.
You will play in the Champions trophy!
You will play in the Champions trophy! - Viju!
See.
Father!
I am going to play for the Champions trophy.
I know you won't give me your blessings.
But I promise you, your son will return.
Viju.
All the best.
Thank you.
Uncle, you always said that a man leads two lives.
One, when he learns to live.
And second, when he lives what he has learnt.
Viju is going to live his second life, just for you.
How can you be so cold-hearted, Uncle?
Wonderful fireworks!
An explosive beginning of Airtel's Champions Trophy.
Wonderful atmosphere! What a beautiful scene!
Eight teams of the world will battle it out for this beautiful trophy.
These teams have been divided into two teams.
Group A includes India, Sri Lanka, South Africa and England.
And group B will include Australia...
...New zealand, Pakistan, and West Indies.
And the first match will be played tomorrow.
Between India and Sri Lanka.
Two good teams.
We hope to see a good competition.
And you can see the Airtel Championship's Trophy...
...live on Neo Cricket.
Mother, hurry up. The match is about to begin.
Robin Utthappa, R.P Singh, Yusuf Pathan...
And the 12th man in this match will be Vijay Shekhawat.
Vijay will surely play in the next match.
I am sure.
Chaminda Vaas, left arm over, ready to bowl.
He has again bowled a good length.
And the batsman played defensive again.
Rohit Sharma's wonderful innings led team India to a spectacular win.
Viju, you always knew that the path was not easy.
Please don't lose hope.
Everything will be fine soon.
Bye.
With Rohit Sharma's spectacular century...
...team India defeated South Africa.
Dimitri Mascarenhas is ready to bowl.
Short pitched ball.
And Rohit Sharma has pulled it easily for a four!
And with this, he completes his century.
India beats England by five wickets...
...with Rohit Sharma's unmatched 108 runs.
Team India's spectacular win over England in the quarterfinals.
Now, India will face Pakistan for the semi-finals.
Whenever India and Pakistan face off in the fields...
...the result has always been a gruelling match.
And something similar is being expected even today.
Vijay Shekhawat will be the 12th man in this match too.
Since the team is displaying such brilliant efforts...
...he can't seem to make a place for himself in the top 11.
It was a challenging match between India and Pakistan.
But India defeated Pakistan by two wickets and entered the finals.
Rohit! Are you okay?
Bad news for an Indian cricket fan.
Indian team member Rohit Sharma...
...won't be able to play in the finals due to a foot injury.
So, Mr. Sidhu, what do you feel?
Who will replace Rohit Sharma?
One and only, Vijay Shekhawat.
Hello.
Sir... everyone is waiting for the announcement.
I know.
Coach!
Some years ago, a boy approached you.
And you gave him a chance to play for team India.
But that boy strayed from his path...
...and made the biggest mistake of his life.
He broke your trust.
Although I don't have the right...
...that boy is asking you for another chance...
...to play for team India.
And he promises to never break your trust again.
Give me another chance, coach. Just one.
Sir, everyone is waiting for the announcement.
Excuse me.
Ladies and gentlemen, tomorrow's finals...
...will be played by Vijay Shekhawat.
Thank you.
Yes, Viju.
Nandu, I'm playing the finals tomorrow.
What? - Yes.
All the best, Viju. - Thanks, Nandu.
Uncle, Viju is playing the finals tomorrow.
'You will be playing for your country.'
'Keep it close to your heart.'
Robin Utthappa and Dinesh Kartik's partnership...
...has brought the match alive.
They have caused a frenzy amongst the fans.
Against the mammoth score of 387, India is on 150/4!
He has played it with the twist of his wrist.
Beautiful glance.
Another boundary for Robin Utthappa!
Maninder, it's very important for the Indians...
...to continue this partnership.
The Indian score is at 160/4...
...and Simon Katich is ready to bowl his next.
He has pulled that away.
Above the ropes. That's six runs!
It's praiseworthy the way Kartik has supported Utthappa.
And a lot depends on this partnership if India wants to win the match.
Because the next batsman is Vijay Shekhawat.
Brett Lee's next ball and outside the off stump.
He tried to flick that. And a very big setback for the Indian team.
Robin Utthappa scored 75 runs.
And India has lost its fifth wicket at 170.
India still needs 218 runs.
They need a run rate of 9.0!
India in trouble again.
And now, Vijay Shekhawat will bat next.
This is his first chance to play after six months.
That's our boy.
Now, it will be fun.
Viju!
Chasing such a run rate is not easy under so much pressure.
And especially for a player who hasn't played...
...international cricket for the last six months.
There's tension in the crowd.
Vijay will face Brett's first ball.
Brett Lee is ready to bowl.
Vijay's first ball after six months.
It seems like Brett Lee knows that he is playing...
...international cricket after a long time.
He must be under a lot of pressure.
He will fix his eyes on the ball first.
And that's a spectacular six!
It seems like Vijay is very comfortable on the pitch.
Because hitting such a big shot on Bret Lee's ball is not that easy.
And if India wants to win, then he'll have to bat like this.
Another spectacular shot!
This time, over the cover fielder.
Another boundary.
And with that, he has hit another four.
He has played it between the gaps.
Andrew Symonds has no chance.
And a spectacular pull shot by Dinesh Kartik!
Another six!
Another boundary for Vijay Shekhawat.
Dinesh Kartik has played the spin.
And with this shot, Dinesh Kartik completes his 50 runs!
And with Kartik's half century, India's score is 211/5!
Dinesh Kartik has played a very mature over.
But India still needs a run rate of 9.0!
That's a unique shot on the off square.
Another boundary.
Another pull shot. He could be out.
But no. Six runs.
The fielder stepped over.
India is 232/5!
They still need 156 runs off 104 balls.
That's another six!
And with that, Vijay Shekhawat has completed 44 runs.
He's just one shot away to break...
...Sanath Jayasuriya's record for the fastest 50!
Stuart Clarke's next ball.
And Vijay Shekhwat has played it. Six runs!
And with that, he has become the world record holder...
...for the fastest 50!
Vijay Shekhawat has hit four sixes and four boundaries in this innings.
And anyone who has seen this innings is very lucky.
Wonderful!
I think that this innings will reassure India...
...that they can still win the match.
Because maintaining a run rate of 9.0 is not an easy task.
And Vijay Shekhawat has played a very mature game.
And with that, a wonderful single.
He has hit boundaries.
But Vijay hasn't missed the singles either.
Yes.
Viju!
Kartik has scored 64 runs.
And gradually, this partnership is becoming dangerous.
Absolutely. I have no words left to praise this partnership.
Because a partnership of 116 runs... And that's out.
It's a very important wicket for Australia.
Kartik has scored 64 runs.
And India has lost its sixth wicket at 286!
India still needs 102 runs off 62 balls.
The required run rate is ten runs per over.
And four wickets are remaining.
The next batsman on the pitch is Yusuf Pathan.
Maninder, he is considered to be a fine bowler.
But he is said to be a good batsman too.
According to me, he is a good all rounder.
But what I want to see is...
...whether he'll perform under pressure or not.
He'll face Brad Hogg's first ball.
And out!
He is clean bold in the first ball.
Yusuf Pathan.
With that, Brad Hogg has a chance to take a hat-trick.
The fans are hugely disappointed.
That's the specialty of the Australian team.
Even though they are losing, they come back with a bang...
...and take the opponent team by surprise.
Praveen Kumar has to avert this hat-trick.
They are in need of a partnership.
To support Vijay Shekhawat on the crease...
...he will have to show some skill.
Brad Hogg's next ball. Hat trick ball.
On the back foot and that won't be a hat trick.
He showed maturity by not hooking the shot.
The score is still 286/7.
If you watch the score, Maninder, they are going head to head.
Except that India has lost two extra wickets.
That's where the equation went wrong...
...Atul, because they have lost two extra wickets.
Because now the entire responsibility rests on Vijay Shekhawat.
Let's watch how he performs.
Another spectacular shot!
Yes!
And that's a bouncer!
The ball has hit him on the head through the helmet.
Vijay Shekhawat is down.
Brett Lee has come running to him.
Seems like he is hurt badly.
And this can be a very big setback for...
...Team India in Airtel Champion Trophy.
He is bleeding.
Brett Lee seems quite worried too.
Maninder, it has happened many times...
...that the ball slips through the gap of the peak and the visor.
Dangerous injury.
And other than the bleeding, we also have to see whether...
...his area of injury has caused him any more problems.
Absolutely. And when you get hit on the temple...
...it's quite difficult to focus too.
He can come back and bat again.
So, we have to see whether he'll be...
...able to bat again in the match or not.
And if he can't bat again...
...we can say that India has lost this game.
And now, Pankaj Singh has come to bat.
India still needs 75 runs off 47 balls.
Put him on the table. Spread it out.
And it seems impossible to win this match with the tail enders.
Easy... careful... slowly.
India is all ready, Pankaj Singh to face Brett Lee's ball.
Straight ball and Pankaj Singh saved himself.
Maninder, it's impossible for the...
...tail-enders to face a bowler like Brett Lee.
He has lost consciousness.
Let's take him to the hospital.
Alok. - Yes, sir.
Get an ambulance immediately.
Praveen Kumar and Pankaj Singh are trying their best.
Though it's difficult to expect an average...
...of 12.0 per over from the tail-enders.
It's absolutely impossible.
Sir, someone wants to talk to you.
No interviews. - Okay.
Hello!
This is Vijay's friend speaking. How is he?
Ma'am, we cannot say anything now.
We are taking him to the hospital now.
Please call later.
I... Hello...
The body language of the Australians shows that...
...they have become extremely relaxed.
Because they see no danger after getting...
...Vijay Shekhawat off the pitch.
Vijay! - Vijay!
Take it easy.
Lay down, Vijay. - What's the score?
Don't worry about the score.
We are taking you to the hospital.
What are you doing?
Symonds, where is the ambulance?
I will check.
Vijay. - Okay.
This match only seems like a formality now.
Brett Lee is ready. He will bowl to Praveen Kumar.
That's a loose shot. And a single.
So, it's clear that the Indian team is not going for the big shots.
And that was a close one.
Vijay! Vijay!
Vijay!
What's wrong?
Are you fine?
Doctor, let me play another game.
Nothing doing, we are taking you to the hospital.
Hospital!
I won't go to the hospital.
I am going out to play!
Vijay, listen...
The required run rate is increasing to over 11.0 per over.
And without Vijay Shekhawat, it seems impossible.
The news is that maybe he's being taken to the hospital.
That was a bad ball, outside the leg stump.
You are being foolish, Vijay.
Don't be emotional.
What's the problem, Doctor?
Sir, he doesn't listen to us.
Sir, why don't you listen to me?
I'm absolutely fine. I want to continue playing.
You are not fine, Vijay.
He could have suffered an internal injury or internal bleeding.
His life can be in danger, sir.
There is no such thing.
Coach, let me play.
Please, I cannot allow this.
Sir, that's my decision.
No, that's my decision.
I am responsible for the entire team.
And my final decision is that you can't play.
Please, Coach. - That's it, Vijay.
Coach.
Take him to the hospital.
India trailing behind.
With 324/7!
That's clean bowled.
Pankaj Singh couldn't play Stuart Clarke's ball.
And now, the match has completely slipped into Australia's hands.
Now, the Indian team has no way to achieve the target...
...as they have to chase the score of 387 runs...
...with only two more wickets in hand.
Vijay Shekhawat has returned retired hurt.
I have a strong feeling that this trophy will go to Australia.
So, the required run rate now is 12.0 per over.
And the Indian supporters have already accepted defeat.
They are slowly leaving the stadium.
And Stuart Clarke is to bowl his last ball.
And, no runs.
Pravin Kumar will face Brad Hogg's last ball.
And no runs off this ball.
The required run rate is crossing 12 runs per over.
Disappointment lurking in the Indian camp.
52 runs off 19 balls and just two wickets in hand.
R.P Singh will face Katich.
That was an easy single.
But singles will not make any difference here.
It's a very difficult task for India.
They still need 50 runs.
And there's only Praveen Kumar and R.P Singh at the crease.
Brad Hogg with his last ball of the over.
He flipped it. An effort to take a single.
Wonderful fielding on his own bowling.
That's a direct hit!
And here's a chance for the Australians...
...to win the Airtel Champions trophy.
The ground umpire has asked for the third umpire's decision.
And the replay clearly shows that Praveen Kumar is out.
And that's the decision of the third umpire.
Praveen Kumar has been declared run out.
And the Australians seem to be sure of winning the Champions' trophy.
It's impossible for Vijay Shekhawat to come out on the field.
The doctors have said he won't be able to play because of his injuries.
Coach. You told me.
A billion Indians live their dreams through the 11 of us.
Don't ever shatter their dreams.
Coach, I have shattered their dreams many a times.
This time, I have a chance to fulfill their dream.
I won't shatter their dream this time.
Vijay...
The Australian team is conversing with the umpire.
Asking, what next?
The audience is leaving too.
Everyone is disappointed.
The Australians will surely win the Airtel Champions trophy.
The Indian dressing room is very disappointed.
Atul, what's that?
Even if it bleeds, it will stop...
...but if this moment passes, it won't come back.
I have rarely witnessed such valiant acts on the cricket field.
Maybe that memory of Kumble during his match against the West Indies...
...Viju is back...
...who even after a jaw injury continued playing, is coming back.
The Indian supporters cannot believe this too.
They seem to be very happy.
Atul, I remember when Mohinder Amarnath...
...got 27-28 stitches on his face but he still came back on the field...
...to play the next day...
...as that day's game was over.
So, we have to see if Vijay Shekhawat can score 50 runs off 12 balls.
Stuart Clarke ready to bowl.
And that has been awarded a no-ball.
And that's a long six!
With that, Vijay Shekhawat completes his century!
The Australian is surprised...
...to see the player hit a big six after being injured on the head.
And now, India needs 43 runs off 12 balls.
The dressing room atmosphere seems joyous again.
The hope has returned.
He has shown through this shot.
Viju! Viju!
There seems slight disappointment in the Australian camp.
But by their body language, it seems they know...
...that it's impossible for the Indians to make it...
...and also from the way Brett Lee talked to Stuart Clarke...
...and the next ball.
Free hit ball, Stuart Clarke is ready.
Again a short pitched ball.
And Vijay Shekhawat has hooked it again.
Another six!
A six on the free hit ball.
Come on, Viju! - That's a splendid shot!
Stuart Clarke seems worried.
Brett Lee encourages him again.
The match is undergoing some significant change.
The crowd seems happy with that change.
This time, he has played a spectacular shot.
He was in a very good position.
Over the long off.
The Australians must be really worried...
...with the way Vijay Shekhawat is batting.
Six!
And now, the match is turning slightly in favour of India.
India's score 357/9!
And now they need 31 runs off 10 balls.
Vijay Shekhawat has already hit three sixes.
Let's see what he does next.
He has played the Virendra Sehwag shot.
Tried to bounce it.
Over the fence.
Another six!
Michael Clarke is tired.
India has come close to winning this match.
Four sixes have been hit.
There have been only four batsmen in the world to hit six sixes...
...they are Gary Sobers, Ravi Shastri...
And that's the fifth six!
What timing!
Now everyone's waiting to know...
...if Vijay Shekhawat can make another world record...
...by hitting another six.
It seems possible here.
This time, he was in a wonderful position.
He tried to bounce it.
Over the square leg, the sixth six!
And that's the third Indian to make a record in cricket.
Yuvraj Singh hit six sixes in the 20-20 matches.
Herschelle Gibbs, in the World Cup...
...against Ireland.
And now, Vijay Shekhawat has hit six sixes...
...in a single over against Australia.
It seems like Vijay Shekhawat has returned to achieve the impossible.
Because only 13 runs are required in 7 balls.
But it's important for Vijay to stay on strike.
That's what the Australian captain has done.
He has brought everyone inside to stop the single.
We have to see what Vijay plans to do.
Will he take the singles or go for the shots again?
He played that well.
He did slip, but managed to take the single.
Intelligent Cricket.
Looking at Vijay Shekhawat's form...
...it looks like he will steal the match...
The last over and India needs 12 runs to win.
Because Brett Lee will bowl the last over.
Another six!
V for Viju! V for Viju!
And with that astounding six...
...he has brought the Indian team so close to victory.
Just one six required from Vijay to win this match.
Brett Lee is ready to bowl the next ball.
And he has placed it.
He wants two runs off it. That should come easy.
But no, R.P Singh has slipped. - Come on. Come on.
Vijay Shekhawat wants to return.
But it's possible.
And he has lost the strike.
We have to take a single at any cost.
The Australians have a fabulous chance.
They know that only one wicket remains.
And Brett Lee is looking for a chance to throw in a yorker.
And now R.P. Has only one option to take a single.
R.P. Singh has already made one mistake.
How's that?
Vijay Shekhawat is down.
It seems like he has injured his head again.
He's looking very nervous.
It's now the turn of the third umpire to say...
...whether India has lost the match or not.
But what's tense is that Vijay Shekhawat who is holding his head.
Viju, are you all right? Shall I call the physio?
He has called for the physiotherapist...
...to see his condition.
And if we see the replay, it has been a powerful collision.
And it could be a run out too.
It's a difficult decision for the third umpire too.
And India is tense.
We are still waiting for the third umpire's decision.
The Australians think they have won the match.
But it's not out.
Viju, come on, on your feet immediately.
Now, only four runs required off three balls.
The match has reached a very thrilling point.
And Vijay Shekhawat will take the strike.
Vijay! Vijay!
He is hurt.
But it seems like he can't see properly.
Absolutely Maninder, whenever you sustain injury on the forehead...
...you often lose focus on the ball.
And the way he's shaking his head...
...there surely seems to be some problem.
Four runs required in three balls.
So, Brett Lee is ready to bowl...
...to Vijay Shekhawat.
He tried to play a swap shot.
But was fortunate as it didn't hit the outside edge of his bat.
No runs.
And he's angry with himself.
Seems like he couldn't see the ball.
And Mike Hussey noticed that too.
R.P Singh has returned, ask him, whether he is fine or not.
Brett, I don't think he can see properly.
Something wrong with his vision. Fix it up.
Indian team needs four runs off two balls.
And I know, that every Indian is praying...
...that Vijay Shekhawat makes India win.
Fifth ball of Brett Lee's over.
And he missed it again.
I think he cannot get in the line of the ball.
The way he hit sixes before...
...his body language clearly shows that he can't see the ball clearly.
Micheal Hussey is a very smart player.
He's surely spoken to Bret Lee about it.
Hey Brett, I'm sure he can't see.
Go for it. Okay!
Let's go.
Viju, last one. The last ball, Viju. What are you thinking?
Go, good luck.
V for Viju! V for Victory!
'You know why I named you Vijay.
Last ball. It's an extremely tense situation.
India needs four runs to win this match.
That's a six!
And India wins the Airtel Champions Trophy.
We won!
Uncle, Viju has made us victorious.
Hi, today morning someone told me Vijay means Victory...
...in hindi, keep it up, see you soon.
Uncle!
Uncle, we have won the Champions trophy!
Where are you going, Uncle?
Long live Vijay Shekhawat!
Long live.
Father...
Forgive me now.
Father...
My son has returned to me.
My son, Viju!
Father!
'Maybe, dad's redemption was in my redemption.'
'Father, I give you the credit for every run scored off my bat... '
'... and every moment spent on the pitch.'
Festivals come...
...once in a year.
When the festival of cricket comes...
...it doesn't go away.
Break free! India wants to break free!
Pick the bat and hit a six.
Pump up the adrenaline.
Pick the bat and hit a six.
Cricket is our life, says India.
We love cricket. We love the game.
Cricket is our life, it's our fame.
Cricket is our life, says India.
We love cricket. We love the game.
Cricket is our life, it's our fame.
Cricket is our life, says India.
Come on and play.
There's cricket here, there's cricket there.
Cricket is everywhere.
Cricket in the sunny days, or in the winter.
Cricket even during the monsoon.
Cricket in the villages... Cricket in the cities.
Cricket on the fields.
If there are no fields, then play cricket on the roofs.
Cricket is our life, says India.
We love cricket. We love the game.
Cricket is our life, it's our fame.
Cricket is our life, says India.
We love cricket. We love the game.
Cricket is our life, it's our fame.
Come on and play.
We love cricket.
Ripped and Synced: VeRdiKT
This subtitle is to all of my fellow Indians who just like cricket (and teasing Hurman Baweja!!) xD!!
