..pays me,

and asks for my advice.

Then who will I favor?

The government. - Exactly.

We believe that the

Association violated rule no.8..

..by appointing |\/Ir. Ivladhavan.

The association's initial

inquiry is faulty.

This ban is a conspiracy.

Completely illegal!

Your honor, we request the

court to take note of these points..

I mean..consider these points.

..and give justice to India's

most successful captain.

He dedicated his entire

life to cricket and this country.

Thank you, Ms. Ivleera. I am done.

Thank you, your honor.

Ms. Ivleera, you may take your seat.

Thank you, your honor.

"To win again."

"To win again."

"To win again."

Order. Order.

The court is adjourned for lunch.

The judgment will

be announced at 3pm.

Azhar, come fast.

Azhar, come see what

they are saying about you on the news.

Come on.

Before going on a break we said..

..we'|| tell you what

Kapil thinks about Azhar.

Because during this

sensational moment.

..the country trusts only Aaj Tak.

So we've invited Kapil on Aaj Tak.

Yes, |\/Ir. Kapil.

Hovv true are the accusations

he's been charged with?

100 percent.

You can't be 100 percent

sure of what you see..

..and these are just rumors.

In my view..Azhar was a good player,

a very good captain.

..and as far as I

think..he should be innocent.

You stayed quiet for so many years,

so why support him now?

I would like to say..vve

all made mistakes.

We didn't support our teammate.

We didn't support him

when he needed us the most.

And he kept fighting alone.

But..Azhar is a fighter.

As far as I know him,

he'll never give up.

We are live at the finals

of the Jubilee Cup.

..between India and Sri Lanka.

India wins the toss and puts

Sri Lanka into bat.

Sanath and Romesh are in form batsmen.

Let's see hovv the Indian bowlers fair.

And a beautiful leg drive..

..that's a misfield,

He's grabbed on to so much cash.

..that there's no room

to grab the ball anymore.

This match is ours.

That is strange, very rarely

we see Azhar leave a ball.

Ani|'s bowling

brilliantly from one end.

He's asking Azhar for the net over.

But what's this, Azhar has tossed

the ball to Ajay for the net over.

Ajay's ready to bowl his first over.

I thought jumbo's coming up net,

but it's the joker instead.

Ajay must take care

of the line and length.

What's wrong with Azhar?

Azhar has taken a

very strange decision.

India will either get a wicket.

..or this match will slip away.

What do you have to say about it, Bob?

It's exactly what I thought.

The first ball itself Sanath has

hit over the covers for a boundary.

2.5 million..lndia will lose.

A great shot. Four runs!

Listen..make that

5 mi||ion..on India's loss.

Oh my God, that's a biggie

all the way to the stands.

The Sri Lankan crowds are thoroughly

enjoying this batting spectacle.

Anil bovvling..and that's a wicket!

The Indian crowd is finally starting

to enjoy the game.

Finally this partnership's

come to an end..

..and Romesh is heading

back to dressing room.

But danger man Sanath

is still at the crease.

Captaincy is not

everyone's cup of tea.

It's like handing over the

prey to the lion. Go on, have a blast.

Ajay back in the bowling attack,

and the result is the same.

And the ball is just

flying all over the park.

That's a massive inside-out shot for

si. All the way in to the stands.

Sanath has hit it high in the air.

And he's got,

a tough catch taken by Sachin.

He did good.

The game will get

over in 4O overs..'

Land the profit will be double.

The Sri Lankans have put a good total

for this pitch.

India need 280 in 5O overs

to win the Jubilee Cup.

India's opening pair, Sachin

and Sourav walking down the field.

So what's the price on India's loss?

Leave the calculations to us.

Just get this straight.

..from this day onwards you

won't have to play another match.

Chaminda will bowl on behalf

of the Sri Lankan team.

And Sachin's played

a beautiful straight drive.

Excellent shot.

Sachin's already unsettled Chaminda.

And that's out.

Sachin's wicket down, and

the Indian fans are disappointed.

We were afraid of the little guy.

But you convinced him too.

You're amazing.

He got out himself.

It happens in cricket.

There goes Dada after the little guy.

You turned out to be an ace-player.

It's a big loss for India.

They have just lost Sourav's wicket.

The crowd is getting restless, and

there's still no sign of Azhar.

Azhar.

Azhar.

The judge called you twice.

Come quickly.

This case wasn't easy.

The public outrage

and the media pressure.

The truth was right in front of us.

..but it takes time to get to it.

Azhar! Azhar! Azhar! Azhar! Azhar!

Here comes our player.

Azhar will have to

play a captain's inning.

What do you have to say, Tony?

You're right, Azhar will have

to play a captain's knock today.

..or else India won't make it.

They have always relied on Sachin

and Azhar so today, that leaves Azhar.

Azhar! Azhar! Azhar! Azhar! Azhar!

Azhar! Azhar! Azhar! Azhar! Azhar!

Azhar! Azhar! Azhar! Azhar! Azhar!

Azhar! Azhar! Azhar! Azhar! Azhar!

And once you're in the middle

of the ground, you must decide..'

'..when you win the match.

..you let those 1 billion

Indians sleep in peace.

'..or lose the match,

and make them weep in their pillows.

This bat will become your voice,

get that?

Come on..p|ay.'

Azhar! Azhar! Azhar!

Azhar! Azhar! Azhar!

What a swift square cut for four.

Ms. Ivleera Verma.

- Yes, your honor.

The way you fought this case.

..is just like Azhar

used to bat back in the day.

On the front foot.

And Azhar's gone berserk.

He's only dealing in fours and sies.

He's going to play some shots.

If they lose easily,

people will get suspicious.

And that's what the doctors

ordered for the Indians.

And it's

working well for Azhar.

I am watching the match as well.

Hang up! Hang UP!

The court knows that

today's judgment.

..wi|| affect the entire Indian team,

and not just Azhar alone.

India needs 4 runs in

3 balls for win this match.

If India wins today/then

you are a dead man.

Azhar! Azhar! Azhar!

Azhar..

Many people were at fault.

CBPs fau|t..no charge-sheet

was prepared against the bookies.

We didn't receive any voice

memos of Hansie's statement.

But only one person was blamed.

Azhar! Azhar! Azhar!

And lnclia has won a brilliant

finals against Sri Lanka.

What a brilliant captain's innings

for lnclia to lift the Jubilee Cup.

The court dismisses the life ban

imposed on Azhar by the Association.

..and gives order

to revoke it immediately.

This case is unsustainable against

Azhar due to sheer lack of evidence.

The court lifts the cricket

association's ban on Azhar.

This case is closed.

Azhar! Azhar!

Azhar! Azhar!

Azhar! Azhar!

Madam. This letter is for you.

Sir.. Sir..

Calm down. Calm down.

Let Azhar speak..let him speak.

Please. Please.

My grandpa had said that

I will play 100 test matches.

But sir, you only played 99.

This court case was nothing
