A Shubman Gill Fanfiction 

When BCCI plans to revamp its global image ahead of the much-hyped ODI series in Australia, they appoint Inara Chopra, a 25-year-old award-winning creative director known for her bold, emotion-driven campaigns. With a clean aesthetic, sharp vision, and zero tolerance for ego, Inara is the kind of woman who doesn't get dazzled easily-especially not by celebrities.

Enter Shubman Gill-India's young batting sensation, recently appointed ODI vice-captain, and the face of the new campaign. Confident on the field but surprisingly guarded off it, Shubman isn't used to someone challenging his every idea... until Inara walks into the BCCI headquarters with her storyboard and calm defiance.

What begins as a professional collaboration for a high-profile design and digital storytelling campaign soon turns into something far more layered-late-night brainstorming sessions, behind-the-scenes shoots in Sydney and Melbourne, and unexpected moments of quiet vulnerability between them.

As Inara crafts the narrative of "The Blue Rising"-a campaign meant to show the heart behind the men in blue-she finds herself seeing the human side of cricket that fans never do. And Shubman? He discovers that maybe the person capable of redesigning the team's story might also be the one rewriting his own.

But with the Australian tour bringing fame, pressure, and public scrutiny, both of them will have to decide what's worth protecting-their reputations or the connection quietly building between them.

A Shubman Gill fanfiction There are some people you never really get over. Not because you still love them-sometimes you do, sometimes you don't. But because what happened between you and them carved something so deep, even time walks around it carefully. For Rhea Merchant, Shubman Gill was that person. They weren't just college sweethearts-they were gravity. He was the rising cricket star with charm, ambition, and the world at his feet. She was the fiercely intelligent psychology major who saw past his fame and into the boy beneath. Their love was built in libraries, whispered during bus rides to outstation matches, and sealed under moonlit rooftops in Delhi. The kind of love people wrote poetry about. Until it broke. Until a scandal exploded that nearly destroyed Shubman's career, and all the evidence pointed to the one person he trusted most: Rhea. She didn't defend herself. He didn't ask twice. Six years passed like strangers walking in opposite directions on a crowded street-close enough to remember, far enough to forget. Now, their paths collide again in South Africa, where Shubman is vice-captain of Team India and Rhea is flown in last-minute as a sports psychologist to manage rising anxiety cases within the squad. They meet in a hotel hallway. A glance. A pause. And then- She walks past like he's air. He doesn't even flinch. But beneath the surface, memories smolder. The silence between them is not absence-it's tension, bruised trust, and unsaid apologies wrapped in ego. As they're forced into shared spaces, media storms, and high-stakes matches, old wounds crack open. Rhea discovers the truth behind the betrayal she never cleared. And Shubman realizes the weight of the silence he never broke. They say time heals everything. But time never healed them. Because what they had wasn't just love. It was almost. Always.

Fame. Pressure. Expectations. For Shubman Gill, it's all part of the game. At just twenty-five, he's not just the poster boy of Indian cricket - he's a national obsession. With endorsements piling up, media chasing every move, and the IPL around the corner, his life is nothing short of chaotic. That's when he decides to hire a personal manager - someone sharp, reliable, and unaffected by the glamor. What he doesn't expect is her. Enter Vanya Malhotra, a fresh college graduate with big dreams, zero experience in the sports industry, and a stubborn fire in her heart. She's not dazzled by Shubman's fame, nor does she pretend to be. All she wants is to prove herself - and she's ready to take on the madness, even if it means dealing with the most high-maintenance cricketer in the country. Their worlds clash from the very first meeting - he's guarded, cocky, and set in his ways. She's direct, ambitious, and refuses to be intimidated. But beneath the surface, something starts to shift. In the middle of endorsement shoots, team travels, and late-night strategy calls, the lines blur. Between playful arguments and moments of unexpected vulnerability, they begin to find comfort in each other. But nothing about love is simple - not when the world is watching. A story about unexpected beginnings, professional boundaries, and finding love in the most chaotic corners of life. When Shubman Gill meets Vanya Malhotra, it's not just another professional partnership - it's the beginning of a story neither of them saw coming.

A Shubman Gill fanfiction Cricket was more than a sport in India. It was religion, rhythm, routine. It echoed through living rooms, spilled out of tea stalls, and stopped traffic when a six soared over the boundary. Shubman Gill was its golden boy - calm under pressure, camera-loved, his bat writing headlines before he even spoke. To millions, he was a phenomenon. But fame, as he'd learned, could be loud and lonely. Every cheer came with expectation. Every silence, a judgment. In the game, he found glory. Off the field, he often lost himself. Saisha Arora lived on the opposite end of that spectrum. No cameras. No chaos. Just ancient forts, faded frescoes, and sandstone walls that held secrets older than the game itself. A heritage conservation architect, Saisha believed in preservation - of history, of silence, of self. Where others saw rubble, she saw resilience. She had no time for celebrity culture, viral headlines, or boys with stadiums screaming their name. So when she found herself dragged to a stadium - surrounded by painted faces and cricket hysteria - she didn't expect anything. Certainly not to meet him. But fate has its own timing. And sometimes, love arrives not with grand declarations, but with stolen glances and unexpected collisions. This is the story of two people from opposite worlds - Of match days and monument walks, Of headlines and heritage, Of a chase that had nothing to do with runs - and everything to do with finding someone who made you stop. Because not all love stories begin in the spotlight. Some begin in the silence between the cheers.
