A Shubman Gill Fanfiction
Tanvi Wagh has three great loves: cricket analytics, perfectly functioning code, and coffee strong enough to survive a fourteen-hour debugging session.
At twenty-four, she's one of the youngest performance analysts working with the Indian cricket team, building data pipelines using Python, SQL, and machine learning to decode player tracking, pitch behaviour, and ball-tracking metrics. Numbers make sense to her. Algorithms make sense to her. Cricket makes sense to her.
Shubman Gill? Not so much.
As newly appointed India Captain, Shubman believes in discipline, preparation, and trusting his instincts. He's composed, competitive, and stubborn, entirely unprepared for the sunshine-filled chaos who walks into his analysis room with a laptop, three coffees, and an opinion about his batting.
Their first meeting ends in an argument. Their second ends in another. By the third, the dressing room is placing bets on how long it'll take Tanvi to make their captain lose his patience.
She questions his instincts. He questions her algorithms. She sends him reports at midnight; he replies with two words that somehow manage to irritate her beyond reason.
But between late-night analysis sessions, heated arguments, stolen coffees, and conversations that last longer than necessary, something begins to change.
Shubman starts looking for her in crowded rooms. Tanvi begins noticing the person behind the captain. And the team? They're far too invested in a romance neither of them is willing to acknowledge.
Falling for Shubman Gill was never part of Tanvi's career plan. Unfortunately, neither was a stubborn captain who slowly becomes her favourite distraction.
Because data can reveal patterns, algorithms can calculate probabilities, and cricket can teach you to expect the unexpected.
But love? Love was never in the dataset.
Sometimes, the most unpredictable thing in the game isn't the ball. It's the person standing at the other end of the pitch.
