'Well bowled!'

'Bang on to the stumps'

'Sharks team's captain got out

in the very 1st ball'

'And is leaving the ground'

'Back to the pavilion wishing

he had swung his bat like this'

'When a team of uncles play

against a team of youngsters...'

'...this is quite a common occurrence'

'Next batsman entering

the field is uncle Gopi'

Uncle, don't you want a bi-runner?

'The bowler is coming up

with his next ball'

Gopi, it's okay

Take your time

'Well bowled!'

'Beauty!'

Take singles

Play patiently, no problem

'Same ball...same ball'

I told you to play patiently

but not at snail's pace

Play with your bat

'The last 5 balls...'

'...batsman has been brushing

the ground, all he did was paint!'

- He will be gone in this over

- 'No runs scored'

'At the end of 1st over,

0 runs for 1 wicket'

Where's he going?

Bhoopathy, come here

Any problem in the team?

Call the bowler

He's walking off in a huff

Pccht! Don't teach us how to play

Bowl...bowl

'Bowler is running from the pig farm end

belonging to Sequins Sundari'

Ball hit Karthi's chest with a thud'

'Excellent ball!'

defensive on the offside'

Can only block

his fast pace, da

(bowling very fast)

Dude, last over

you took 1 wicket

Take 2 in this over

Just go and bowl

'Let's see if Ezhumalai

will score at least 8 runs'

'He's capable of playing very well'

'Like slamming the door of a rusty

old bureau, he has hit the ball'

'It's 4 runs'

Bro, you said 2, right?

We slammed a four

The other is on its way

'Next ball'

'Like a kindergarten kid

crying during admission'

in pain to the covers'

Bowl a slow ball

He'll get out

This is Gopi speaking

Raghu is batting

Any message?

Please be quiet

(Let them hit)

There won't be any fielder

on the offside corner

- Anu called

- What did she say?

Her father is taking her to Tirupati

to get her married tomorrow

She wants you to pick her up

- Let me go check

- Wait, don't rush

First we win the match

After winning

we plan to kidnap her

At least let me call her now

- Who will play?

- He is right

Want water?

Please play patiently

'Next ball is kicking up'

'Is it a good shot or...?'

'Raghu hit a selfie shot and

walks out like a lame duck!'

- (At least you go and hit)

- Play cautiously

'Next batsman is Sharks John'

'John will now add

new mileage to the game'

- Which number?

- Last digits 32

'Next ball rushes to the covers'

'Tanjara - 4 runs'

Whichever scumbag you are

listen to me carefully

Ganesan and my daughter

are getting married

You can't do anything

Bloody, hang up

'It's okay if you miss this ball'

'There's another ball waiting for you'

'Batsman is getting ready to face it'

'Next ball'

'Like locking the house before

the expected guest arrives, he is back'

'He's out!'

'After 8 overs

score is 45 for 5'

'It's a sixer!'

'Sponsored by Minister 'dhoti' and shirts'

'2 runs'

'TVS Star City

Watchman hits a 4'

'Good stroke by the watchman'

'He has fallen on the ground'

'Not just the watchman

His wicket is down too'

'Ball hit him all over

Not just his chest'

Out...out, right?

How can that be out?

'He's pleading to the umpire

But looks like it's falling on deaf ears'

Why talk to these useless fellows?

They are cheating, dude

Not fair

How is he out?

- How is he out?

- Bowler banged into our batsman

Why is he throwing mud all over?

Go...clear out

Get out of the ground

'Sharks team has scored 55 runs

for the loss of 7 wickets in 9 overs'

'After Sachin Tendulkar, to have

12 fielders surrounding him...'

'...special privilege bestowed on

our Flying Paramasivam, good shot!'

'Next ball'

'He came out of the crease to hit the ball

Looked back to see the stump horizontal'

Super hit

Superb catch!

'Looked like South African cricketer

Jonty Rhodes came to Anaikaraipatti...'

'...dived beautifully

to catch that ball!'

'Sharks team lost their 9th wicket'

It's okay if you don't score

but stay put at the crease

We'll get runs

automatically, okay?

Cheenu...?

- Stomach upset

- Upset stomach?

Take care of that later

Go play now

- Guard your wicket

- Go play, dude

Cheenu, please

1.3 more overs

Play slowly, okay?

'Last wicket Cheenu is walking

gingerly into the ground'

'His style and stride show

he doesn't need a bat, ball or stumps'

'He'll strike of his own accord'

'Next ball'

'Beautifully played on the off side'

'Scope for 2 runs'

'They got their 1st run'

'Batsman wanted to take 2nd run'

'But Cheenu has refused

saying he'll take care'

'There's a big strategy behind this'

'Cheenu has to score at

least 8 runs off this ball!'

'Let's see what Cheenu intends doing'

'Oh my God!

It's a wicket!'

'Thought he'll score

a sixer like Dhoni'

'But Cheenu is ripped into tatters

like an old gunny bag'

'Sharks team

69 all out'

'This will be a cakewalk for even

the grandmas' team of Anaikaraipatti'

'This is a good score

for the Bad Boys'

What, Maruthu?

'An important announcement

on behalf of 'V'll Win XI' team'

'Hey! Police'

'Their match will get over soon'

'Escort them safely and

board them on a bus to Madras'

'For travel expenses...'

'...for every sixer we hit

I'll gift the Sharks 1000 bucks!'

'Tell them they can use that money

to buy snacks on the way'

Smart ass Maruthu...!

Dude, if we lose the match...

...doubt if they will let us

stay here even for a minute

Hey! Why are you thinking

we'll lose now?

They've got us all out for 69

Can't we pack them likewise?

Hear me out

'To them it is just a match'

For us, it is Raghu's life

His life is dependent

on this match

Do you know how

we got the name Sharks?

Do you know?

At least do you know?

Even I don't know!

It's that ancient

'It is a symbol of

our area for centuries'

'Should we leave it behind?'

'However great a player...'

...he can't predict his century

Whatever the game,

only that day is important

Why can't today be our day?

Think about it, machan

Sharks has Rockers to support them

If all of us pitch in our 200% best...

...we can win this game

Win the cup

Kidnap Anu

We can do it!

You bet!

Is this Bombay for you?

What's this?

Is this the age to play cricket?

Lied to all of us and
