Meera Achrekar, a mathematics teacher at Vishwaprem Vidyalaya, has been happy and single for quite a while now. The great love of her life has been and always will be cricket and Anil Kumble. The meticulous number cruncher is, despite not being the classic eye-candy-teenage-fantasy-fodder, a huge hit in class. And that’s because Meera unlike most teachers of her school, is more fanatical about her religion - CRICKET than even the school cricket captain!
Living with her family in their small home in a Mumbai chawl, Meera was initiated into her temple of Wankhede Stadium by her brother Mahesh.
Mahesh Anant Achrekar played cricket at the Ranji Trophy level. Sadly, middle class making-ends meet economic got the better of the impressive Maharastrian leggie, and passion had to make way for responsibility. Mahesh is today a cricket cynic. So while Meera bunks classes and fights for season tickets to every cricket match that is [played at Wankhede Stadium], Mahesh steers clear of the cricket scores!
While the folk at Bhaktiyog society have cast aspersions on her craze towards the game, the bigger problem that worries the Achrekar family is Meera’s still-single status. Love suddenly blossoms with heart specialist, Dr. Arjun Sachdeva and Meera realizes that perhaps there is more to life than praying for Team India and Anil Kumble! However, in between this fabulous exchange of text messages, Valentine’s Day outing and walks along Chowpatty, she confesses that she is already married - to CRICKET!
So while this maiden’s heart beats for Anil Kumle and India’s fortunes, the more important question is: will Meera be able to commit to her non-striker beau and keep her prospective father-in-law at bay?
This seasons’s most charming, reality struck romance is here to warm your heart! Cross your fingers and pray that Meera doesn’t have to choose between love and Anil Kumble!
