Cricketromance Stories

Book One of the Innings of the Heart Trilogy He hates cameras. She hates cricket. So naturally, they were bound to become each other's biggest problem. Inayat Kaur has one job-to photograph an international cricket tournament. Simple enough, except she has absolutely no interest in cricket and even less patience for the arrogant cricketer who keeps ruining her shots. Shubman Gill is used to cameras following him everywhere. What he isn't used to is a photographer who doesn't care who he is. Their first meeting ends with an argument. Their second ends with another. And somehow, they keep getting assigned to the same events. She thinks he's insufferable. He thinks she's impossible. But somewhere between stolen glances through a camera lens, sarcastic arguments, late-night conversations, and moments neither of them meant to share, something begins to change. Because sometimes, the person who annoys you the most becomes the person you start looking for in every crowd. And Shubman has a problem. He can't seem to stop looking for her. An enemies-to-lovers story about cameras, cricket, chaos, and falling for the one person you never planned to notice.

"Out of every trophy I ever won, you are my favourite." They fight like enemies, But look at each other like something else. And somewhere in between... they fall for each other. Madly. Completely. °°•°°•°°•°° Kiara Patel has always believed in control, over her words, her emotions, her life. Cricket was never supposed to be personal. Just stories, players, and interviews. Until him. Abhishek Sharma is everything she doesn't understand, quiet where she's chaotic, calm where she overthinks, and impossibly hard to read. What starts as irritation quickly turns into something far more complicated. Sharp words turn into lingering glances. Arguments blur into something that feels dangerously close to... something else. Between matches, media, and a team that slowly becomes family, they find themselves caught, between what they say and what they feel, between distance and something they can't ignore. But when the world is watching and misunderstandings take over, will they walk away? Or finally admit they were never meant to let each other go? °°•°°•°°•°°

Iniyazh was a huge cricket fan. When it came to the IPL, nobody could beat her-she knew the teams, players, matches and statistics like the back of her hand. But surprisingly, she wasn't particularly a fan of Abhishek Sharma, nor was she obsessed with SRH. For her, Abhishek was simply another cricketer. Until she started noticing him. It wasn't his batting, his fame or the jersey that caught her heart. It was the way he treated people-the way he spoke to the staff, respected elders, helped others without expecting anything in return, and made everyone around him feel comfortable. Slowly, Iniyazh began seeing a side of Abhishek that most people never noticed. And somewhere between watching him from a distance, noticing his little gestures and getting to know the person behind the cricketer, she realized something she never expected... She had fallen in love with Abhishek Sharma-not the cricketer everyone cheered for, but the man behind the fame. ❤️

~तुझपे सजे खूबसूरत लगे ऐसा क्या दूं तुझे ऐसा क्या दूं तुझे ममम... हाथों की ये लकीरें सभी पहना दूं तुझे पहना दूं तुझे जब तक मेरी आँखें तेरा चेहरा पी न लें जब तक तेरी धुन में हम मर न लें~ She captures moments. He creates them on the field. Aarohi, a passionate photographer (also an unapologetic Abhishekpaglu in secrecy), never imagined that one particular cricketer would become the subject she couldn't stop looking for through her lens. Abhishek Sharma has the fame, the worldwide attention, the love and support from his fans and spectators and the trophies-but somehow, it's her whom his eyes keep searching for in the crowd. What starts with a camera pointed his way slowly becomes a story neither of them saw coming. Because some trophies are won on the field.. and some are found in the person who makes coming home worth it from behind the noise and lens..♡

To escape a predictable life in Malaysia, Asra lands a high-profile sports PR job with the Chennai Super Kings. She expects a summer of intense work and roaring stadium crowds-not a lightning-bolt encounter at exactly 6:00 PM with Matheesha Pathirana, the team's shy, teenage bowling prodigy. Just as a powerful, unspoken connection begins to ignite between the media manager and the rising star, a shocking twist links Matheesha directly to Asra's past, turning her world upside down. Faced with the suffocating pressure of sudden global stardom and the hidden ghosts of family grief, can a quiet bond survive the blinding lights of the cricket world? Or will the fear of losing it all force them to lock their hearts away?

Arjun Thapar, 26. The recently appointed skipper. At the heights of his career, his flamboyance and intellect are unmatched. Fame, name, money, he has it all, but still something's amiss. Whilst there are always new stories being cooked up about his "dating expeditions", this tall, enchanting and striking man is undoubtedly the most eligible bachelor. Divyangini Raina, 22. Preferably likes being addressed as "DV". This clumsy, naive and quirky girl had planned to spend her vacations from college by sleeping, hogging onto food and binge watching the entire day, but she was forced by her family to do a summer internship at a PR agency, which is recently looking over the most coveted sport in India, cricket. Being associated with cricket is the last thing she'd like, but, who knows she might just step into a new chapter of her life, as the destiny unfolds.

Zara Varma has two toxic traits: she romanticizes everything and believes every problem can be solved with the right camera angle. Raised in Hyderabad and obsessed with films since childhood, Zara spent her bachelor's degree pulling apart scenes shot-by-shot while dreaming of pursuing a Master's in Cinematography at University of California, Los Angeles and becoming the kind of director film bros would reluctantly worship. Unfortunately, dreams cost money. After her family's finances fall apart, Zara shelves her plans and takes the one job that pays well enough to keep everything afloat: lead producer for the social media team of Sunrisers Hyderabad. Suddenly, her life becomes a chaotic blur of match-day edits, last-minute shoots, sleep deprivation, angry brand managers, and trying not to get run over by camera carts. She thrives in it anyway. Mostly because Zara secretly loves chaos. And because chaos apparently comes in the form of two cricketers determined to ruin her emotional stability. Abhishek Sharma is reckless charm wrapped in expensive sunglasses and zero self-control. He flirts like it's cardio, constantly sneaks into her shoots just to annoy her, and somehow always ends up looking directly into her camera lens like he knows exactly what he's doing to her blood pressure. Then there's Nitish Kumar Reddy - quieter, sharper, and infinitely more dangerous because he notices things. The stress headaches. The way Zara chews her pen caps while editing. Their chemistry isn't loud; it simmers. Which, honestly, might be worse. Now Zara's stuck juggling impossible deadlines, unresolved dreams, two annoyingly attractive cricketers, and a career that was supposed to be temporary but is slowly becoming everything. And somewhere between viral edits, late-night stadium shoots, and accidental almost-confessions, Zara realizes life may not be going according to her script anymore. But it is making for a pretty great film.

Shailee Ghosh learned young that love is never uncomplicated-and that some names come with consequences you don't get to choose. Once drawn to a sport that made her feel alive, she grew up watching silence replace truth and reputation outweigh belonging. She learned to survive by stepping out of the spotlight, by keeping her distance from power, from ambition, from the kind of men the world applauds too easily. But the past has a way of circling back. Pulled into a world she never truly escaped, Shailee finds herself surrounded again by spectacle, legacy, and eyes that expect obedience rather than honesty. Every choice threatens to expose what she's spent years protecting, every step forward drags old wounds closer to the surface. Then there is Arjun-charismatic, relentless in his curiosity, and far more dangerous than he appears. He doesn't chase her. He doesn't let her hide. And in a life built on careful distance, that unsettles her more than anything else ever has. As buried truths begin to stir and lines blur between duty and desire, Shailee must decide what she's willing to risk: her anonymity, her independence, or the fragile safety she built for herself. Because some secrets don't stay buried. And some love stories refuse to remain quiet

For five years, Saanvi Ganguly-the fiercely independent daughter of a cricketing legend-has been linked to India's most unpredictable star, Rishabh Pant. They've never met. Never spoken. Yet social media insists they're soulmates, and every smile, every glance from a stadium seat turns into a national headline. But when a fateful Test match at Headingley brings them face-to-face for the very first time, the sparks are no longer just speculation. Add to the chaos: Sara Tendulkar and Shubman Gill, also trapped in their own web of paparazzi-fueled fantasy, meet under the same sky. Friendships form. Rumours blur into reality. And the series that began with a bat and ball might just change everything for the hearts caught in between. Slow-burn. Banter. Cricket. Chaos. And the kind of love story that was never meant to be written... but always meant to happen. Disclaimer: The whole story idea, plot twists, and all that drama came from my brain. I just used ChatGPT to help enhance the writing a bit. Basically, I wrote the entire thing, put it into ChatGPT to make it sound better, then edited it myself again. So yeah - 100% my story, just with a little AI touch-up.

The story revolves around two people who couldn't be more different-or more complicated. Myra Sharma was a name everyone knew. A celebrated influencer, writer, actor, streamer, and an all-around force of her generation, she had built an empire from her talent and determination. Millions admired her, looked up to her, and followed everything she did. But behind her success was a fiercely loyal girl who never forgot when someone hurt the people she loved. And that was exactly why she hated Shiddhant Sharma. Shiddhant was one of the biggest cricketers of his generation-a star both on and off the field, admired by millions for his talent, confidence, and charm. But to Myra, none of that mattered. He had hurt one of her closest friends, and she had decided there was nothing about him worth forgiving. What Myra didn't know was that Shiddhant had no intention of staying on her bad side. Because while Myra's hatred only seemed to grow stronger with every encounter, Shiddhant was slowly, helplessly, and unexpectedly falling for her. Every argument made him more intrigued. Every glare made him smile. And every day, he found himself falling for Myra a little harder. The problem? Myra wanted nothing to do with him.

With a record-breaking bat in one hand and a scandal in the other, he's been banned, fined, kissed on national television, punched a teammate, disappeared to Bali during practices, and once told an umpire to "retire and take his eyesight with him." They call him The Gangster.💀💥 Fans worship him. Rivals fear him. The board hates him. And Tara? She's just trying not to lose her mind covering him for the entire 2025 IPL season.🏏🎤 But chemistry doesn't care about professionalism. Not when post-match interviews start sounding like foreplay. Not when locker room whispers get too loud. Not when his sledges turn into secrets, and her articles begin to read like love letters. Because here's the thing: beneath Tristan's chaos is a man no one's ever really seen. And behind Tara's calm, there's a girl who still believes in the truth. And the truth is: they're both falling. Hard. Loud. Stupidly.💗✨ This isn't just a game of cricket anymore. It's ego vs vulnerability. Fury vs fear. And somewhere between the press box and the pitch, love begins to play its own damn innings. ____________
