And we're back! It's a big day for the big two.
Mumbai Mavericks and the Chennai Legends.
It's the final of the PowerPlay League!
First things first, sir...
What'd you choose if you won the toss?
Simple...
Bat first.
Always difficult to chase under pressure in the final.
But the Mavericks have chased pretty well in the tournament.
Will Arvind want to try something different?
I think, on this pitch, spin is going to play a very important role.
And both the teams have two very good quality spinners...
in Devender and Perera.
Chasing won't be easy.
Well, that time will tell! It's toss time!
So the captains are out for the toss!
Manoj Rishi for the Legends, and Arv...
Hang on, gentlemen!
That's Vayu Raghavan!
That's surprising.
The Mavericks captain Vayu is going to spin the coin.
Wait, what?
Assaulted?!
Fuck...
Did we have to go that far?
Arvind left us with no choice.
He'd have destroyed not just the team, but the entire league.
He's out of the finals.
How?
I mean, who assaulted him?
You know what, I don't even want to know.
Vayu, relax.
You know there is no deal with Dhawan if Arvind had dropped those four players.
Okay, what reason do we give the players and the media?
That Arvind is injured.
And who will lead the team? - You.
You are going to be the new captain of the Mavericks.
Oh, and that cheerleader, Svetlana ... she's not pregnant.
She'll tell the press tomorrow.
You know the beauty of this deal?
You lose some...
but you gain so much more.
Team meeting is in an hour. See you.
Fuck.
Rohini, listen, I...
Rohini...
Rohini!
Just listen to me, Rohini! Please!
This is a big blow for the Mavericks.
You can't replace the experience Arvind brings to the team!
Listen to this.
'You've heard about keeping the faith...'
'but have you ever heard of darkness stopping the light?'
Applause!
So my money is still on Mumbai.
And you, sir?
Well, I think the Legends have a slight edge now.
It's the final so we're very excited.
But in this charged atmosphere, with so many...
How was the rave party, Vayu?
Rave party?
What rave party?
The one that the police raided and caught you at.
I have journalist friends, or did you forget?
Ah yes...
You were celebrating being dropped from the Indian team, right?
You know, I was thinking if I should cover the England series...
But now I'm definitely going! - Easy Meera, come on...
You have no shame.
I mean you were at my house and right after... - Meera!
What?
Let go.
Just...
let go.
We're done, right?
You wanted this.
The players are making their way out on to the field...
for the finals of the PPL.
The Mumbai Mavericks vs the Chennai Legends.
Here's the playing XI for both teams, and as you can see...
the biggest change is for Mumbai.
They are without their captain, Arvind, who is unfortunately injured.
And already their new captain, Vayu Raghavan...
has made the bold and unorthodox choice...
of opting to bowl first after winning the toss.
Vayu does enjoy a good chase as it keeps him in control of the game.
He has to lead by example today.
The question is...
will the players respond to him the way they did to Arvind?
We are very experienced in these things, man.
To be honest, Raghu and Anees are both
your seniors in this regard.
Laugh all you want...
But I am the captain of the team now.
And how, when, and what to do...
I'll tell you guys.
As you say, Vayu.
It's easier with the captain on our side.
It was a bit harder with Arvind around...
But we're all set with you!
Now what do we do about Prashant?
I'll talk to him if you can't.
This is your problem, Devender.
Sometimes, you can get things done by being friendly.
Prashant is with us.
Wow...
The kid is learning!
And no fucking with Prashant anymore, understood?
Five...
Four...
Three...
Two...
One.
Time to play.
So here we are, back with live action.
Mavericks starting with Prashant.
If he shows some improvement in control...
he could be lethal here.
Prashant Kanaujia at the top of his run up.
What a discovery he has been for the Mavericks.
An explosive fast bowler who will definitely get you wickets.
What is this I'm seeing?
Imtiaz Khan in the Mavericks' stand after a long gap.
Yes, and those of you who follow Bollywood gossip like Gurpal here...
might be shocked too.
But both of them are out here in full support for the Mavericks.
Zarina Malik and Imtiaz Khan make a good pair.
Cricket is also a game of pairs.
Gavaskar-Vishwanath, Hayden-Langer and Wasim-Waqar...
Atul, you're forgetting our pair.
Are we any less special? - Of course not.
Hey Sarah!
What the fuck?!
Give us a minute.
What are you doing here?
Sarah, if you don't mind...
But...
Sarah, out!
Zarina...
This doesn't concern you. This is personal!
Really?
This was a personal matter for Hamish, too.
Did you think of that before you sent these photos to Dhawan?
So...
Tell me...
Starz, Upperstall, Moviebuzz...
Which magazine cover would you like?
Look, Zarina, I...
I know you're upset...
about your role in the movie. I'll talk to Ahuja.
I'll fix everything.
We'll push the release date. That won't be a problem!
Awww...
Such a sweetheart!
You'll be there tonight right, honey? To cheer the Mavericks?
Our film is releasing soon too.
It'll look good.
Oh, and I can't wait to watch the new cut!
Ravi, get a drink for ma'am.
Comfortable?
Oh yeah, very.
But I prefer watching the match with my fans.
I'm your fan, too.
Chennai, 49-1 after 7. Important to increase the run rate.
And here's Prashant being handed the ball for his second over.
More than 12 runs in this over.
Here's Kanaujia, running in again...
Crosses the boundary, four!
The ball has been mistimed...
Ready to bowl the next ball... - Dot ball.
Only four from the over so far. Incredible bowling.
One run... - Two balls to go.
Played towards deep point...
Prashant Kanaujia has given away 7 runs in 5 balls so far.
And, he's pulled it. The ball's gone high...
it's Hamish McCall. Oh, he's dropped it.
It's gone for a six!
It was an easy catch.
He's looked a bit rusty.
To be expected if you're returning from an injury.
But you should give your 100% in the finals.
Whoa...
This is amazing!
I'm not sure how I should react!
My player drops a catch and...
I'm enjoying myself, I'm happy!
Happiness is all that matters in the end.
And money can buy it.
And the Chennai Legends are 78-2 after 8.4 overs.
And Vayu Raghavan, the new captain of the Mumbai Mavericks...
having a word with his bowler, Devender Mishra.
You've got two balls left, one should be a wide.
I know, the next one will be wide.
Bet your own money, did you?
And that's too far down the leg side,
Devender struggling to get a grip on the ball...
It seems early for dew, but you never know.
No one can tell it's Vayu's 'debut'.
He's a natural.
Some credit should also go to the person who got him into the team.
How much money did we make?
Let's talk after the match, Zarina.
The night has just begun.
A no-ball in this over.
No-ball!
Pitched short, and the umpire calls it a no-ball!
This has been Prashant's problem throughout...
He's quick, but loses control and gives away too many extras.
And it's a huge no-ball there!
Cheers!
Free hit!
Chennai Legends are 181-5 after 19.5 overs....
Can they end this in style? A boundary would do nicely.
Ankit comes in to bowl,
and all they can manage is a single.
So the Legends have done well to put 182 on the board.
Now the onus is on Vayu Raghavan...
He has to do what he has done consistently and successfully throughout this PPL...
Chase down a target under pressure.
Pritish...
update?
Sir, you won't believe the numbers.
We've earned more in the first innings today than entire matches.
I know, Pritish.
I'm the one scripting this game.
Yes, Pathak?
Save a bottle or two for the second innings as well!
Yeah, cheers.
So the Mavericks have to chase 182.
That's a pretty competitive score for the finals.
Lots of extras given away and several chances missed by Mumbai.
Wonder what Arvind would have made of it?
Well, let's hope he's okay and recovering from his injury.
We will be back after a short break.
He's up, sir.
Sir.
You!
Hey! - You, here?
Easy, easy...
You need to rest.
That's why we shifted you from the hotel to your house.
You see, you've injured yourself...
in training.
That's what the media thinks anyway.
Didn't I tell you not to talk with anyone?
Now you've landed yourself in a soup.
You're the prime suspect in the Suri murder case.
You were the last person he spoke to, via text.
The two of you planned to meet in private.
But all we found was his body.
Mr Rathore, that's utter nonsense.
Why would I kill him?
Good question.
The police couldn't find a motive.
But then it was you who brought the evidence proving...
that your team fixed games.
Perhaps Suri found out about this.
And fearing that he might expose this to the media...
you killed him.
This is your great theory?
Not just a theory...
I also have evidence.
You were the captain, involved in the team's decision making.
Who gave Devender the last over against Haryana?
Oh, come on! - The police has found out...
how much the bookies profited in that last over.
Who selected Prashant for the team?
I can get a statement from all these players against you.
And then, there were your aggressive texts, 'You were wrong', 'I'm coming there', etc.
This makes for two cases against you.
One for match fixing, and...
the other for murder.
Fine...
Go ahead, Mr Rathore...
I will also see how you prove this in court.
Look, Arvind...
Maybe your lawyers will...
prove the police wrong in court.
But what about your reputation, Mr Dependable?
The public enjoys it...
watching heroes become zeroes.
If you were a gambling man...
you'd realize the odds are not in your favour.
So trust me on this.
Here's the deal...
You'll keep your mouth shut, and...
we'll declare Suri's death an accident and close the case.
His reputation and yours will remain intact.
Another brisk start from Raghunath and Litner...
The Mumbai Mavericks are 23-0 after 2.4 overs.
The Mavericks dugout just does not look the same without Arvind and Niranjan Suri.
Well, I'm sure they'll be missed out there.
The team will want to win the trophy for Niranjan.
Is tying his shoelaces a signal too?
You're a quick learner.
Here comes Perera... and he's gone!
And the decision to bowl the spinner in the powerplay has paid off...
Raghunath missed it completely!
Vayu Raghavan, right hand batsman.
Vayu has promoted himself to number three. Really, no surprises there.
Yeah, it's good to see the new captain taking responsibility.
Vayu Raghavan is steady at the crease
and Litner in good form too. Perera to continue.
Less than 6 runs in the next over.
Vayu defends; another dot ball.
Only four from this over so far, two balls remaining...
Beautiful leg-break delivery...
Is he playing Twenty20? Or a test match?
Straight back to the bowler.
Only 4 from the last over of the powerplay...
Nag...
it's raining spots today!
Ranade did the smart thing...
Bet all his money.
We should've done the same.
Looks like pressures of captaincy getting to Vayu.
This is the most conservative I've ever seen him play.
After 10 overs the Mumbai Mavericks are 102-1,
Litner has been aggressive; and Vayu has been playing the sheet anchor's role.
Another 81 required in 60 deliveries.
Vayu wants two!
No, no, no!
Huge mix-up.
He's gone!
Vayu has picked this up real quick...
Shocking. Vayu just sold him down the river there.
It was entirely Vayu's fault...
There was no scope for a second run!
Poor running between the wickets...
and Litner loses his wicket in the confusion.
These are the kinds of pressures in a big match.
Litner looking upset with his captain.
And now, Vayu will have to get them across. He cannot think much of this run out.
He can act!
Have you been coaching him?
When you work together, some things tend to rub off.
The Tizen timeout is much needed for the Mavericks to realign themselves.
Vayu has looked off colour in the last few overs.
Well, a couple of good tight overs from the Legends has brought them back in the equation.
They're still in the game as we head into the last timeout of the season.
Hold this.
Send word to Dhawan...
we'll lose this match.
I'll take the game to the last over...
and then...
Got it?
Planning to earn for your entire life with this one game?
How big a deal have you got?
Deals are not made with money alone.
Tell Dhawan he'll find out today...
what Vayu Raghavan can do on a cricket field.
He wanted to know my worth?
I'll show him.
Okay, here.
Vayu, what are you doing? Close the fucking game!
Shut up, Rohini...
Don't tell me what to do, yeah?
What?!
You want me to put money on the Mavericks losing?
Not yet.
If Vayu stays at the crease until the last over...
the odds will be completely in the Mavericks' favour.
We can make ten times the money we bet.
That's when we start playing the game.
It's time to deliver the finale we had promised.
10 billion could become 100 billion.
Maybe even more.
The Mavericks are in a commanding position. 30 coming in the last 17 balls.
Here's Rawat for the last ball of the penultimate over.
Vayu scrambles for a single. 10 runs in this over.
They just need 7 more to win the PPL.
And the captain keeps strike for the last over.
All okay?
Only 7 required off the last over but the stakes are high.
A level headed approach and the trophy is theirs.
Stay calm, don't panic, don't try anything ambitious. Just the ones and twos.
The captain Vayu Raghavan, talking to the non-striker.
Probably telling him the same thing.
It's the Mavericks' game to lose from here on.
What are the odds now?
Sir, 1.05 for the Mavericks, and 9.2 for the Legends.
If we bet on the Legends now, we make 9 times more money.
Now we start betting.
Everything we've got.
Everything?
Everything.
But not all at once.
Keep increasing the bets as the odds go up.
Okay, sir.
Manoj Rishi takes the ball himself for the last over.
It's the clash of captains.
Slower one, but Vayu guides it to deep mid-wicket. Perera chases it down.
They should get at least a couple here.
It's getting easier and easier for the Mavericks.
Mumbai are hot favourites to win this one now.
Unless Rishi comes up with something special.
Change of angle. Rishi is going to go over the wicket for the next one.
Not a bad idea. Trying to unsettle the batsman.
And it works. Vayu fails to make proper contact.
Good comeback by the bowler.
I think Vayu wants to score the winning runs himself. - Yeah!
Vayu's just unstoppable.
Looks like he's going to single handedly win it for them yet again.
Right, four to go. Here's Rishi!
Short and wide outside off stump.
Another two runs for Vayu...
before Rawat can throw it back from deep extra cover.
Sir, just 3 runs needed now.
Vayu is going to win it for them.
Pritish, calm down.
You've seen this before.
You know how it works.
What are the odds now?
1.02 for the Mavericks and...
15 for the Legends.
Go for it.
Everything we've got.
Vayu is going to lose this.
These are the best odds we can get.
Our thousand can become fifteen thousand...
Just go for it.
Only three to win and Vayu is still on strike.
What can Rishi do now?
The only way to win this is to take a wicket.
Rishi has to get Vayu somehow.
Or, bowl three dots back to back.
When was the last time that happened in the final over?
Can the Legends pull a rabbit out of the hat?
It's looking improbable.
And that's a lovely slower ball...
Vayu mistimes it, Rishi grabs it in the follow through.
Fantastic bowling!
Your brother is even better at this than I am.
He's got himself a huge deal.
He's using every trick in the book to keep Vayu quiet.
Changing angles once again.
Trying to play with the mind of the batsman.
Another slower delivery. Two dots in a row.
It needn't have come down to this.
The Mavericks had this in the bag, but the pressure of the finals... it's gotten to them.
They shouldn't have even really taken this long to get to the last over...
but as long as Vayu is at the crease, the Mavericks will always be favourites.
The bastard has got everyone fooled...
He's going to make a ton of money today...
Now that we're on the same team...
you can stop ignoring me now.
Hey!
Brilliantly bowled by Rishi so far.
Three runs needed of the last ball.
What can Vayu do?
This match has turned on its head, and is going down to the wire now.
Very rarely do you see Vayu choking under pressure...
but that's what seems to be happening here.
Long on now... moving to deep square leg.
More mind games.
The entire PPL boils down to this last ball.
Will it be the Mumbai Mavericks or the Chennai Legends?
You really cannot ask for a better finale than this.
Deep square leg... Fine leg...
Bouncer?
No.
He's bluffing.
Bowler is bluffing..?
Yes.
But... Vayu has gone deep into his crease.
Double bluff...
He's expecting...
a wide yorker.
Four... through the covers.
Beats the fielder, beats the ropes, and the Mavericks have done it!
The first ever team to win three finals in the PowerPlay League.
What an incredible shot through the covers!
Rishi bowls it full, outside off stump, but look at that drive.
Raghavan was ready for it!
Come on!
Yes!
Congratulations...
Your team just won the PowerPlay League.
Vayu Raghavan has shone like a star in this league!
What a glorious innings to take his team to victory.
He kept his nerve till the very end.
Well, not to forget, he has captained the team today too...
I hope the Indian selectors are watching now.
Come on!
Motherfuckers!
Vayu, you're going down.
You will go down. This might be the last match of your career.
If Dhawan is so dangerous...
how do we defeat him?
We'll hit him where it hurts the most.
His money and his credibility, which he treasures so much.
When was the last time you went to a rave party?
Bastard sent me here to convince you to sell your soul.
So we need to kill some time.
So if you really want to help out, this is the only way.
So proud of you...
Idiot, you almost gave me a heart attack!
So for once, you didn't know what was going on in the game!
Exactly!
Sir, of course we'll make it good in the next season.
Sir, it's a g...
Pritish...
How much did we lose?
Pritish?
Everything.
I have a message from Bhaisahab.
Lie low with whatever you're left with.
Because many people are going to come after you very soon.
You watch out.
May I come in?
I hope you're not considering retirement, Arvind?
I heard about you...
All that happened.
I've got a proposal for you.
You're looking for the right team...
and I, the right captain.
Prashant! Come on, the bus is waiting.
I'll get my bag and join you. - Alright! Come quick.
Fuck me, how do I get any money now?
Who is it now, motherfucker? What do you want?
I got what I wanted today.
It's you, bastard...
You lived up to your caste by betraying me, motherfucker.
You untouchable!
Why shout now, Mishra? You're the real traitor.
I'm the traitor?
Me?
How am I a traitor, asshole?
Hey, I hope you're not leaving...
Have some cake, you didn't celebrate with us.
Look, it's got macadamia, cream, even caramel...
You're drunk, talk to me when you're sober.
Fuck, look at this!
Forget talking to you, motherfucker!
They'll rip your ass apart now, fuckhead!
Hold on...
You pushed me?
Me!
Yes I did, what are you going to do?
Fucking disciple of Gandhi!
We'd have both made some money...
why couldn't you co-operate?
I came here to play cricket, I'd make whatever I earned!
Fuck you! You want to earn money by fucking me over!
Vayu fucked me over too, the motherfucker!
Vayu has upheld the honour of the game. You wouldn't understand, you're hopeless.
Kanaujia, you motherfucker, stop there!
Enough tomfoolery, asshole.
Now gorge on bullets, motherfucker!
Asshole, I'll settle all the scores today.
Prashant...
What the fuck?!
Prashant!
What are you guys doing?
I am the son of a washerman, huh?
You've both lost it!
Kanaujia, you fucker! - Help!
I've had enough of you!
Prashant, Prashant...
A washerman! - Help!
Help!
Oh fuck!
What did you say? - You'll shoot me, asshole?
Shoot me. - I'll shoot you.
No no no no, Prashant!
I'm warning you, I'll shoot.
If you've got the balls for it, shoot me, fucker!
No! - I'll... I'll shoot!
Shoot, bastard, shoot!
I warned him...
I warned him... I'll kill him...
Prashant!
Bhaisahab, it's all been taken care of.
Hi Zarina.
Bhaisahab has come personally to address the Devender and Prashant situation.
And by the way...
he's here.
Hello Bhaisahab.
Gabbar!
Vikrant.
How dare you?
How dare I...
You got me there, princess...
But only for a moment.
Get out of my house.
Or else?
It ends here.
You're finished.
You manipulated me and bought my team.
Fixed my players.
And you murdered Niranjan Suri.
You molested me, you filth!
This team is mine now.
I have won.
So tell me, Zarina Malik...
How do you define winning?
What does winning feel like?
Does it feel like the cold snap of metal on your wrists?
Or humiliation in front of a packed theatre?
Or...
The feel of a rough hand...
running up your soft inner thighs...
Or maybe...
Just maybe...
does it feel like death?
Like the feel of warm blood on your living room floor.
Surprise!
Zarina this is kind of like when...
you spilt wine on my carpet.
Favour returned!
Gabbar was really lovely!
But you know, I didn't kill him, Zarina.
You did.
Consequences when you fuck with Vikrant Dhawan!
Consequences!
Stupid bitch!
You think you can destroy me?!
I'm gonna punish you, Zarina!
I've had it!
Get up!
You stupid, ambitious little bitch!
You think you can take away my empire?!
That I built!
I will not lose! I never lose!
I'm going to tear you apart!
What the fuck...
Don't worry...
Bhaisahab sent me.
You slimy bastard.
You fucking snake!
Traitor!
I'm going to kill you.
