A Shubman Gill Fanfiction
At 26, Shubman Gill is living the dream every cricketer grows up chasing.
Captain of the Indian Test and ODI teams.
Leading his IPL side.
A career at its absolute peak.
Everything in his life is planned, controlled, and moving exactly the way it should.
Until one unexpected call turns his perfectly structured world upside down.
Suddenly, Shubman finds himself responsible for something far bigger than captaincy, trophies, or records - a 15-year-old girl who has just lost the only family she ever had.
Arushi Kaur.
Aru.
She's grieving, guarded, and completely unfamiliar with the fast-paced world Shubman lives in. And he's just as unprepared to step into a role he never imagined for himself.
Moving to Mumbai means a new beginning for both of them - new routines, a new school, awkward dinners, quiet conversations, and two strangers trying to figure out how to exist in each other's lives.
Between international matches, media chaos, dance practices, family dinners, match rewatches and the slow process of healing, they start learning something neither of them expected.
Sometimes family isn't the one you're born into.
Sometimes it's the one life places in your hands when you least expect it.
And sometimes... even the strongest captain has to learn how to lead at home.
