When 12-year-old Neel Roy goes to Ranchi for his winter break, he meets Sachin Rawat, a local boy who has an amazing new bowling action. Over weeks of practising with each other, Neel realises that Sachin could be the next Sunil Narine or Muralitharan.
Once the vacation is over, Neel returns to Delhi and forgets about Sachin in the excitement of preparing for a place in the Junior Devils, the Delhi junior team of the first-ever Junior Premier League tournament.
But by a quirk of fate, Sachin moves to his aunt's home in Delhi when his father is transferred out of Ranchi.
He finally gets his chance to join Neel in the 16-member Junior Devils team.
What follows is a roller coaster of hope, fear, excitement and disappointment that is the lot of every cricketer.
But things end on a great note as Junior Devils make it to the final and become the first JPL winners.
