Avinash Chaubey, (real name Harendra Ramchandra Yadav), comes
from Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh. He possesses cricketing talent and aspires to
pursue cricket as a profession. However, his impoverished background poses a
challenge. His father discourages him and withdraws support for his dream of
becoming a cricketer. Avinash decides to escape to Mumbai by stealing money
from his father. In Mumbai, he resides with his maternal uncle, Damodar
Panday. While his uncle cares for him, his wife no longer holds affection for
Avinash.
After a few days, his uncle and cousin begin to recognize Avinash's potential
as a talented cricketer. Avinash receives support from a cricket coach named
Sameer Khan, who also believes in his abilities. Sameer coaches Avinash
without any fee. Avinash aims to participate in the Inter School Cup, an event
exclusively for school students. Fortunately, with the assistance of his
opening partner, Junaid, and his coach, Avinash secures admission to the
school. However, he faces another financial crisis. The school fees and
cricket coaching expenses amount to approximately INR 13,000 per month, a sum
neither his father nor his uncle can afford. Avinash's cricketing career is at
risk of ending before it even begins.
During this time, Avinash encounters Jagat Tavde, a person who puts up missing
persons' posters in trains in different areas. Jagat suggests to Avinash that
he has an idea to earn a significant amount of money.
Although Avinash excels in cricket, his coaching fees decrease to INR 750 from
INR 3,000. However, he still struggles to pay the school fees. He discusses
his situation with his father and uncle, but neither can assist him. As a
result, Avinash finds a small job at a restaurant.
