Synopsis

The story revolves around Dharaa who wants to become a cricketer and the sacrifices she has to make in order to achieve her dream. Dharaa is supported by her father and soon convinces her grandmother about playing cricket. She continues playing well and a promising future seemed to lie ahead. But the sudden deterioration of her father's health convinces her to agree to marry Mihir soon, a guy with whom her alliance was going to be fixed. She is initially happy and continues playing cricket, but soon realises her husband's chauvinistic side. He treats Dharaa like a prisoner and controls her. He even went to the extent of doubting her character, and feels that Shubhangi, his and Dharaa's daughter, is not his but Diwakar's, his boss and their neighbour. Fed up of Mihir's possessive nature and insulting behaviour, Dharaa divorces Mihir.

After that M.N.Roy gives Dharaa a job as a cricket coach in a school in Merut. Seeing the bitterness between the Hindu and Muslim students she decides to first make one single team and she succeeds in it but because of a little war between the two players Sanjay and Salamat causes riots again in Bulandganj. She decides to resign but the students apologize to her and then she starts to coach them again. Mihir arrives in Bulandganj and is gathering evidences to portray Dharaa as an irresponsible mother to gain Shubhangi's custody. But Dharaa convinces the judge of her capability of single-parenting alongside her coaching. Mihir then realises his mistake and walks away. Bhanu Pratap and Khan conspire to make riots and assault Bashir and kill Gafur but later get arrested. During this Sanjay and Salamat become friends, and Mridula gives birth to a baby boy at the same time. Dharaa's team gets selected in the tournament and they slog hard and win the trophy. Mihir comes back to Dharaa but Dharaa turns him down and returns to Jamnagar.
