"If my brother finds out, he will literally use you for batting practice, Abhishek."
Nineteen-year-old Niti Varma had exactly one job during the IPL season: stay out of the media spotlight and don't distract her older brother, Tilak Varma. It should have been easy. What wasn't easy? Dealing with Tilak's best friend and India's star opener, Abhishek Sharma.
Abhishek is everything Niti isn't-bold, chaotic, wildly confident, and entirely too fond of testing her patience. He treats her like a puzzle he desperately wants to solve, using every excuse to lean in close, steal her snacks, and make her blush just to watch her lose her composure.
But behind the sharp-tongued banter, the constant bickering, and the five-year age gap lies a heavy mutual attraction. With Tilak's strict "no teammates near my sister" rule hanging over their heads, Niti and Abhishek are playing a dangerous game. Will they manage to keep their hands to themselves, or will they break the ultimate rule of the brotherhood?

Caught Between The Cheers
Abhishek Sharma × Shubman Gill Fanfic One accidental kiss. One impossible love story. And a game that changes everything. Arya Mehra has only ever been in love with one thing-cricket. So when she finally gets the chance to watch the IPL Final live, she expects an unforgettable night of boundaries, wickets, and celebrations. What she doesn't expect is to be dragged into a hidden stadium corridor by a stranger running from a group of obsessed fans. And she definitely doesn't expect that stranger to be famous cricketer Abhishek Sharma. Or that his desperate attempt to hide will end with an accidental kiss. A kiss neither of them can forget. For Arya, it should have been a strange story to laugh about and move on from. For Abhishek, it should have been a moment lost in the chaos of a crowded stadium. Instead, fate keeps throwing them together. Between unexpected encounters, jealous misunderstandings, secret conversations, media rumors, and a best friend who's been silently in love with Arya for years, what starts as one accidental kiss slowly becomes something neither of them planned. But falling in love is complicated when one person belongs to the entire country. And when hearts are involved, not every match has a winner. In a story filled with butterflies, heartbreak, laughter, and the magic of cricket, Arya and Abhishek and Shubman will discover that sometimes the most important moment of your life happens when you least expect it.

All The Noise Between Us
Mira Anand was supposed to work for the Indian cricket team. Not become the distraction inside it. At twenty-four, the SRCC and IIM graduate enters the world of Indian cricket as the youngest analyst in the BCCI's performance strategy unit-armed with data models, sharp instincts, and absolutely no interest in fame, cricketers, or complicated emotions. Then she meets them. Shubman Gill-Indian cricket's polished golden boy, effortless charm, and the kind of man people already expect her to fall for. And Abhishek Sharma- reckless, intense, impossible to ignore. The opener who starts looking for her in team meetings. In hotel lobbies. In every stadium crowd. What begins with casual conversations and lingering glances slowly turns into late-night calls, secret moments between tours, viral photographs, media speculation, and a relationship neither of them is ready to name. Because falling for India's most watched cricketer was never part of Mira's plan. Especially not when the entire country is waiting to figure them out first
