than any new player's till now.

It's a good team.

Mahi will benefit a lot.

With your support, he will.

If he gets a job and

then if he becomes permanent..

He's too young for that.

We'll see when the time's right.

You've been generous to so many.

If you consider him as well..

He's like my boy.

Of course I'll look after him.

Okay. - Will the Steel Authority

guys let him quit?

I'll talk to them.

Let me know if they don't let him.

I'll make sure that

they let him quit.

Get some sweets for everyone,

come on.

Yes, of course.

Come on..

- You're doing great.

Just keep bowling like that.

I'll stand here at mid-off.

It's the last ball, come on.

Come on, come on!

1 ball to go and 5 runs needed.

Bowl at his feet,

okay? His feet.

Come on. Bunty, forward.

- Come on, come on!

Santosh.

- Yes.

Where did you learn to

play that shot? - Liked it?

I call it the 'Slap-shot'.

Will you teach me?

- Will you buy Samosas for me?

Of course.

- Then I'll teach you.

Then tomorrow..

- Mahi!

Mahi, your family has

been looking for you.

See you tomorrow.

- Okay.

Your father has been

looking for you.

What happened?

- I don't know what happened.

He said, 'Pan Singh,

this is just the beginning.'

I was really glad to hear that.

Quiet. Quiet.

- Yes.

What happened?

- Hi.

Yes, Dad.

You were looking for me.

- Me?

Yes.

- No.

This..

- This arrived today, by courier.

Mom even gave Rs. 2

to the courier boy.

You know, Mahi,

Mr. Deval called me today.

He's asked you to join Coal Fields.

1500 stipend.

And he was also saying that

he'll make your job permanent.

It's a joyous day today.

I'll be right back, Dad.

Mahi, Mahi, listen!

Where are you going?

Anything else? - That's all.

- Rs. 210.

What's wrong?

Why are you so serious?

The kit bag has arrived.

Are you insane?

This is just a kit bag.

Just focus on your game.

The Lord will take

care of the rest.

And yes, I want a century

in the next match.

Go on.

What are you doing?

You scared me. It's beer.

Do you want a sip?

It gets you high.

Have you lost your mind?

Do you want to be

a cricketer or an addict?

Mahi,

just a little doesn't matter.

This is your party, right?

Just let me have some fun.

Don't make me furious, Santosh.

If I see you drinking again,

I won't talk to you.

Mahi, don't get angry!

Listen, Mahi!

Welcome everyone to the

Keenan Stadium, Jamshedpur.

This is the final match

of the Cooch Behar Trophy

between Bihar and Punjab.

Bihar's captain Vikas Kumar

and Punjab's captain

the talented Yuvraj Singh,

are standing

in the middle of the field

for the toss. - Heads.

Batting.

All the best!

Bihar wins the toss

and elects to bat.

What do you say, Mr. Shukla?

Very good decision.

You can't give away wickets.

It's a four day match

and you guys must bat

for at least 2 and 1/2 days.

If you wish to play the Under-19

World Cup, then let me tell you

that there are two people here

from the All India Junior

Selection Committee.

The World Cup is next month.

The team will be announced

in a few days

and this is your opportunity.

Rattan Kumar and S. Vich

heading towards the field.

And he's bowled.

Wonderful shot!

There's a fielder under it.

And that's a catch!

Come on!

And that's out!

Dhoni, we must save our wickets.

Play carefully.

He doesn't know you too well yet.

The next batsman coming up

is Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

The entire responsibility

lies on Dhoni now.

Let's see how he performs today.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni

had already judged the ball

and he hit that over

Yuvraj Singh's head.

You can see Yuvraj

staring him down.

Dhoni's ready.

Yuvraj's next ball

straight to the

wicket-keeper's gloves.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni

couldn't judge the ball.

Yuvraj staring directly

at Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

Did you notice their

attitude towards each other?

And that's a fitting reply!

Catch it!

And with that

Dhoni completes 50 runs.

50, Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

Come on, guys!

At the end of Day 1, Bihar's

score is 254 runs for 5 wickets.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni has

scored a total of 70 runs, not out.

And Ratan Kumar is

playing at 77 not out.

What would you like to say,

Mr. Shukla?

Just make 200 runs more tomorrow.

Then we'll see who can stop you

from playing for India Under-19.

You'll get selected,

you don't need to worry.

What a player!

The weather is really cold.

The next ball of this over

to Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

The next ball.

And he has hit that hard!

The ball's straight up in the air.

Sodhi's right under the ball.

And that's out!

Sodhi has taken a wonderful catch!

Mahendra Singh Dhoni is out!

When did he return?

- This morning.

I see. - He didn't go home.

- Okay.

He came here and threw me out.

- Oh?

He has locked the door

from the inside.

He always does this.

Open the door!

Won't you guys let me sleep?

What happened?

- What happened where?

What happened at the finals?

You're laughing.

- Take a seat.

Chittu, get some water.

Will you tell me already?

- Take a seat, and I'll tell you.

Don't get so..

Here you go.

He'll tell us after

drinking water.

So, on Day 2

I got out after scoring 84 runs.

The entire team got out at 357 runs.

Now Punjab comes to bat.

They lose their first

wicket at 60 runs.

Then Yuvraj Singh comes to bat.

The score at the end of Day 2,

108 for 1 wicket.

Hurry up,

tell me what happened next.

It's when I hurry that I mess up.

Let me tell you properly.

On Day 3,

they lose only one wicket.

The score at the end of Day 3

is 431 for 2 wickets.

Yuvraj Singh hit a double century.

He hit a lot.

Broke all records.

Last day, Day 4,

Punjab's total score was 839.

Yuvraj's individual score was 358.

One run more than the Bihar team's

entire score.

We never got to play

the second innings.

Do you know where we lost the match?

Where?

Not on the cricket ground

but on the basketball

court at night.

What are you blabbering?

Any new movie playing?

'Captain Mohammad Kaif,

R. S. Ricky'

'Manish Sharma, R. S. Sodhi'

'Arjun Yadav, Yuvraj Singh'

'Venugopal Rao, Niraj Patel'

'Wicket-keeper Ajay Ratra,

Shalabh Srivastava'

'Mritunjay Tripathi,

Mihir Diwakar'

'S. Vidyut and Anup Dave.'

There are three more players

whose selection was debated upon.

But they couldn't secure

a place on this team.

Opening batsman Gautam Gambhir.

Wicket-keeper Amit Deshpande.

And left-hand spin-bowler

Rakesh Dhurv.

They didn't even

mention Mahi's name.

Chotu, come here.

A dozen fritters

and 1 kilo sweetmeats.

I'm telling you,

this is all a set-up.

Why else would Mahi

not be selected?

You fool..

Mister, take this.

Bring all of it on a plate, it's hot.

- Okay.

What happened?

Why are you all so quiet?

Mahi..

- Mahi, your..

I didn't get selected, I know.

Look, this tournament

has made me realise

that what I did wasn't enough.

I must work harder.

So, it's an important day

for me today.

I'm giving this fritter

and sweetmeat party

so I don't forget this day.
