At the same time, she also earns the wrath of many villagers as she plays cricket with boys wearing t-shirts and trousers, which is portrayed to be non-traditional.

Kowsi decides to appear for the Tamil Nadu team selection test, but she gets rejected in her first attempt.

Kowsi faces a hard time in the cricket academy due to internal politics with senior players ill-treating her as she cannot speak Hindi.

Nelson also locks horns with the team selection committee and ensures that Kowsi is present in the World Cup squad.

However, Nelson reveals his strategy, that the intention was to hide Kowsi's talent from the opponents, and her bowling would be a surprise element in the semifinals.

Upon receiving the award, Kowsi gives an emotional speech describing the situation of her father and other farmers in the country.
