Impulsive14-year-old teenager Virat, on the cusp of childhood and adulthood, is trying to find his identity between his aspirations, his father's expectations, and other pressures.
Virat lives with his parents and sister in New Delhi. His lawyer father, Ashok, is known for strict honesty, and his mother, Gogi is a homemaker, a supermom who always manages to ground the situation no matter how volatile the relationship between Virat and Ashok gets. Ashok wants Virat to be responsible, mature, and disciplined; Virat wants to be left alone to be himself, a teenager for a few more years.
Virat wants to become the best batsman in the world. His coach, his teacher, and even his father know that Virat is a cricket prodigy, and is held back by his anger. Another problem is Virat's nemesis, the school bully, Sooraj, the captain of the under-19 Indian team. Sooraj is from a rich, influential background and is a very good bowler. He does his best to create problems for Virat's cricket.
Virat doesn't talk to everyone, but with his best friends Jo, Bunny, and Amara, he talks non-stop. Virat is tongue-tied whenever his crush, Shazia, is around.
On Virat's 15th birthday his grandfather comes to him in a dream and reveals that his family are superheroes. He realizes that he can use the powers of the heirloom, a kada (bracelet) for good, but the rule of the universe is that if there is good then there must also be evil. As the Superhero rises, so does the Supervillain, Navar, who has a plan to take over the world.
Virat must balance his home life with his friends, his love interest, saving the world, and must still find it within himself to win the world cup for India!
