⚡ RIVALS TO LOVERS ⚡
Smriti Mandhana has one goal: lead India to T20 World Cup glory. The last thing she needs is to be distracted by Ellyse Perry, Australia's star all-rounder, even if Perry's competitive smirk does make her heart skip a beat.
But when a chance encounter at an empty stadium the night before their semi-final match turns into shared laughter and a playful bet, Smriti finds herself seeing beyond Perry's green and gold uniform. Between perfect yorkers and powerful cover drives, their rivalry transforms into something neither of them expected.
As they navigate the pressures of international cricket, media scrutiny, and their duties to their respective teams, Smriti and Ellyse discover that some connections are worth more than any trophy. But with two cricket-obsessed nations watching their every move, can they find a way to be both competitors and something more?
A story about finding love across boundary lines, "Across Boundaries" explores what happens when cricket's biggest rivals realize their fiercest opponent might just be their perfect match.
