Talent over corruption

ShadowHunters
Ayaan Malik has one goal: to play professional cricket. Gifted with extraordinary talent, he’s the shining star of his small village’s cricket team. But despite his raw skill, the path to success is far from clear. In the world of competitive cricket, talent alone isn’t enough—money, connections, and favors rule the game. After a brilliant performance at a local district tournament, Ayaan hopes his dream is within reach. But the corrupt system he’s up against is more ruthless than he could have imagined. Powerful selectors, like Kamal Kumar, control the gates to professional cricket, and they’re not interested in raw talent. They only care about who can afford to pay. When Ayaan refuses to give in to the system’s demands for bribes and favoritism, he finds himself discarded and overlooked. Determined to prove that talent, not money, should determine a player's future, Ayaan takes matters into his own hands. With the support of a few loyal friends and a coach who sees his potential, Ayaan sets out to challenge the system and change the way the game is played. But as he trains for an independent, underdog tournament with other players who’ve been mistreated by the system, Ayaan discovers that the battle isn’t just about cricket—it’s a fight for integrity, honor, and the true spirit of sport. In a final showdown at the tournament, Ayaan must prove that talent can overcome corruption. But even if he wins, the fight for justice in the game he loves has only just begun.
