The Physics Of Falling

She has one rule: don't fall for the players.
He's determined to break it-accidentally, of course.

Maya Gill is the sensible one. The youngest head physio in IPL history. The woman with a plan. When she lands the job with the Gujarat Titans, she's ready to prove that her golden rule-never mix business with boys in blue-is ironclad.

Enter Sai Sudharsan.

He's the team's graceful, soft-spoken batting prodigy. He's also a walking disaster off the pitch. Tripping over equipment. Spilling coffee on himself. Somehow always needing an extra recovery session. With her.

Maya tells herself it's just physical therapy. The lingering touches? Purely clinical. The way he looks at her after a win? Adrenaline. The late nights in the team hotel? Strictly professional.

Liar.

The season ends before they can cross the line. She escapes unscathed-or so she thinks.

Then the BCCI comes calling. Maya is hired as the physio for the Indian Men's National Team. She walks into her first training camp, ready to command respect.

And who's standing there, dripping with smug energy, wearing India blues for the very first time?

Sai Sudharsan.

Now they're stuck together on flights, in hotels, and on the world stage-with her overprotective cousin Shubman Gill watching like a hawk.

They can't date.
They can't even look at each other too long.
But try telling that to two people who've already fallen-and are about to crash.
