Ishan thinks after winning the World Cup, he'll finally get a shot at redemption. He thinks that the trophy, the headlines, the crowd will be enough for him to outrun the whispers, the shame.
But the world of cricket is colder than he remembers, and survival isn't handed out with trophies.
What follows isn't glory, it's silence, rejection, and the quiet unraveling of a boy who gave everything to the game, and still wasn't enough.
