Shubman Gill's life appears picture-perfect-a star cricketer with a supportive wife, Sara Tendulkar, and an adorable 4-year-old daughter, Shanaya. But beneath the surface, his world is far more complicated. Struggling with the pressures of a strained marriage, Shubman finds solace in his best friend, Ishan Kishan. To the world, Ishan is the bachelor heartthrob of cricket-a man with an enviable career and an unattached personal life. But behind the scenes, Ishan is a man deeply in love with Shubman, quietly sacrificing his own happiness to stand by his side. What begins as a friendship born of loyalty and trust evolves into a secret relationship that threatens to unravel everything. As Sara starts to suspect cracks in her marriage and joins Shubman on tours, her search for answers leads her to self-doubt and guilt, unaware of the real truth-her husband's loyalty has shifted in a way she could never imagine

Once a model the world adored, Ishan now lives in the silent corners of a sprawling house, raising a child who isn't his by blood but entirely his by heart. His husband, Hardik aka the country's cricketing hero, controls the home with soft words and invisible chains, leaving Ishan with the illusion of love and the reality of abandonment. Every tour takes Hardik farther. Every rumor cuts deeper. Every night stretches colder. And then... there's Shubman. A mutual friend, a teammate, and the one person who looks at Ishan like he's still worth something. What begins as quiet companionship during long IPL nights slowly becomes the lifeline Ishan never knew he needed. In Shubman's warmth, Ishan finds the courage to face the truth he's been breaking under: Hardik's betrayals aren't rumors - they're a pattern. When Shubman finally lays bare the evidence, Ishan's world shatters... but for the first time, he chooses himself. The divorce isn't loud; it's devastatingly quiet. Co-parenting twists every wound deeper. Healing feels like walking barefoot over old glass. Through the chaos, Shubman stays not as a replacement, not as a savior, but as the only home Ishan has left. As the two men navigate heartbreak, custody battles, and the slow rebuilding of trust, they discover something unexpected: Love isn't loud. Love isn't flawless. Love is choosing someone in the quiet, over and over again. This is a story of escape from subtle abuse, the messy truth of infidelity, found family, healing that takes time, and a romance born not from desperation but from finally being seen.

They were supposed to be rivals-enemies across hostel lines. But somewhere between the fights, the games, and the late-night stares... hate stopped making sense. And love? That was never part of the plan. A story of Ishan Kishan and Shubman Gill by udtekhayal and sarcastic1212.
