In recent decades, Indian cricket has become a powerful vehicle of aspiration, its promise embodied in the rise of Mahendra Singh Dhoni, which has inspired millions. In a society shaped by entrenched inequities, the sport has come to represent a level playing field, where talent seems capable of transcending inherited disadvantage.

That notwithstanding, the numbers tell a harsher story. In nearly a century, fewer than 600 men and women have represented India, while millions have played--and continue to play--the game with equal conviction.

When promised fame eludes cricketers in the country's most competitive vocation, what sustains their pursuit, and how do they make sense of lives forged through struggle and sacrifice? This is the story of the great Indian cricketing dream.
