Beyond her Boundaries

Joining the Indian Women's Cricket Team as their wellness officer was supposed to be Maya Bharadwaj's greatest professional achievement.

A new role.
A new team.
A chance to help athletes survive the pressure of international cricket.

What she didn't plan for... was Ameena Shekhar.

The team's 25-year-old star player.
Fearless on the field.
Unstoppable with a bat in her hands.

And the same girl Maya had quietly fallen for years ago.

Ameena has no idea.

To her, Maya is simply the calm presence in the dressing room the one person who always seems to know when someone is struggling, when someone needs support, when someone is about to break.

But the more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to ignore the quiet connection growing between them.

A connection Ameena has never felt before.

Because liking a woman was never something she allowed herself to think about not with a cricket career, a national team, and a society watching her every move.

The only person who notices the tension long before anyone else is Ameena's captain and best friend, Kriti Seth.

Protective. Observant. And fiercely loyal.

At first, she warns Maya to stay away.

But when she realizes how deeply Maya cares for Ameena... and how confused Ameena is about the feelings she can't explain...

Kriti begins to wonder if some boundaries are meant to be crossed.

Even if the whole world is watching.

Sometimes the biggest risks aren't taken on the field.

Sometimes they happen Beyond the Boundaries.
