Arshdeep brings Soorma’s humor and charm to cricket. Both are natural entertainers with roots in Madhya Pradesh.
Pant and Kaalia share a fearless attitude and follow their instincts. Always ready to take on any challenge for the team.
Just like Sambha, Chahal may look lean and quiet, but he's dangerously effective. A true silent assassin with consistent performances.
Strict yet unintentionally funny, Dhawan lifts the team's spirits like the quirky Jailer while delivering under pressure in big matches.
Known for his fierce persona and leadership, Gambhir mirrors Gabbar's intimidating, no-nonsense attitude and strong presence; both never settle for mediocrity.
Calm, calculating, and selfless—Rohit is the perfect Jai. He thinks before he acts and always puts the team first.
Kohli, like Veeru, is bold, dramatic, and thrives under pressure. Fun-loving off-field but all business when it matters most.
Like Thakur, Dhoni leads with calm authority. He gave India’s future stars their platform, just like Thakur trusted Jai and Veeru.
