When a high‑stakes business deal forces them into a one‑year contract marriage, sparks ignite behind closed doors and hatred blurs into something far more dangerous. But buried between their families' darkest secrets and an unsolved tragedy lies the truth that could tear them apart... or bind them forever. Can love survive when loyalty demands revenge?

A rising star in neurosurgery, Dr. Aashi Verma is brilliant, distant, and fiercely protective of her four-year-old daughter, Anaya. She's built a life of control and silence-one that never speaks of the night that changed everything. India's beloved cricket captain, Shubman Gill, is composed under pressure, adored by millions, and carries a silver pendant he can't explain-only that it once belonged to someone who felt like home. A medical emergency brings them face-to-face five years later. But they don't recognize each other. Not until a scar. A tattoo. And a pendant rewrite everything. What happens when the girl he lost becomes the mother of a child he never knew existed? Her Field, His Pitch is a slow-burn story of missed chances, quiet love, and the unpredictable ways life gives us a second innings. ✅ Genres/Tags: Fanfiction Romance Emotional Drama Celebrity AU Shubhman Gill ICT Cricketers Single Mom Second Chances Slow Burn Indian Character Fate/Memory/Healing
