The Knock - A Brief Introduction

India must play out the last day of the Boxing Day test match in Melbourne, Australia. Aussies have a formidable bowling attack, and India has lost its best batsman. A young man is about to take the bat with his career literally hanging by a thread. Can he make it?

Alman Chisti is a successful IT consultant working for a top business. Alman’s father Asad was an excellent spinner who never got the opportunity to play at the top level. Despite his good performances, the limited opportunities he received at the beginning of his career failed to land him a position in the Indian squad. With his son, Alman wants to fulfil that dream.

Before the start of the day, Zain receives a call from his brother. Alman had a heart attack and is about to undergo surgery. For reasons explored in the story, Zain believes that if he bats well, no harm will come to his father. He hinges his batting on this faith, putting immense pressure on himself. He has to bat the day out to save India from losing the test match and his father from losing the battle in the operation theatre.
