Inside Edge

The cricketers battle it out on the field in a PPL final in which it's hard to pick favorites. With each passing ball the odds swing in favor of either team, leaving spectators in raptures. It's a game to remember not only for them, but for the players too as moments never experienced before in a field of cricket play out. The pressure off the field is high too, and Pritish's absence compels Zarina to pull the trigger in a winner-takes-all game. But it's Bhaisaab who belts out his sharpest blows in an all-or-nothing crusade to retain his dominion.

The stakes are high and it's a must-win situation for Arvind's floundering bits-and-pieces team. The rookies train hard as they prepare for the team's most important game yet. A loss here for the Hurricanes would mean taking the first flight home. The lines between reality and fiction blur out for Prashant as he deals with the ramifications of his past. His quest for closure forces him to venture into uncharted territory, only to end up confronting his most daunting fear. Zarina takes matters into her own hands on learning her darkest nightmares are true. In order to mitigate the situation, Bhaisaab must unleash his most ruthless avatar yet.

Outmaneuvered, Bhaisaab's empire is on the verge of annihilation. Sworn enemies have taken him by surprise, causing him to retreat as they rejoice. But Bhaisaab's not one to go down without a fight, and as the cattle celebrate, a masterplan is being brewed on the backburner. Prashant, still haunted by the ghosts of his past, attempts to deal with them by running away from them. Only to realize that it did more harm than good to him and the one he loves. With Rohini absent, Vayu must go solo to conquer his demons. With a lot more than just his captaincy at stake, Vayu must pay a price to reclaim his lost glory, something he never believed he'd have to do.

After a surprising turn by Arvind in the opening game against the Mavericks, the players come under the scanner for using performance-enhancing drugs. Wolfgang Hummels, the new agent representing the Global Doping Prevention Authority, arrives in South Africa and makes it clear to the ICB chief that he isn't for sale. Vayu and Mantra's shared love for all things retro kindles a hitherto unseen chemistry. Meanwhile Prashant has a rather surprising, if awkward, interaction with a drunken cheerleader of his team. Back in Mumbai, Zarina is uncomfortable being away from the action. Instigated by Imtiaz, she rethinks her strategy of dealing with her commitments.

The PowerPlay League auctions are underway, the owners are competing tooth and nail to bag the best of the best. But it's the mind games that are trumping strategies. Zarina senses the Hurricanes' weakness and hits Handa right in his Achilles' heel. Vayu's stubbornness, however, turns out to be a roadblock in her foolproof plan. Zarina takes a tough stand for herself that results in a fall out with her producer. But she has a plan-B up her sleeve for her film. Vayu, trying hard to get Mantra's attention, is aggrieved when an old coach resurfaces in his life. There's a lot of toxic history to this relationship and Rohini is in the thick of it too. Back at the ICB, Bhaisaab establishes that he is the best man to be re-elected as President. Zarina is in awe of his vision and power. With preparations for the PPL on in full force and a thunderstorm on the horizon, an unavoidable course correction is imminent.

The finals of the PowerPlay League is here. But the question is of the larger game. Who will win?

Dhawan goes into damage control mode as secrets start to spill out, but there is a silver lining for him.

It's match day. Mavericks vs Hurricanes. Dhawan's grand plan is finally coming together. However, the smallest cog in the wheel can upset the best laid plans.

The team is at an endorsement shoot. Dhawan's master plan is close to becoming reality. Vayu makes headway with Meera; Arvind confronts problems closer to home.

Zarina realizes she's made a deal with the devil, while Prashant struggles to adapt to his new surroundings. Vayu finds himself on the brink, needing to make hard decisions in his career and relationships.
