Meanwhile, Col. Singh and Sweety Aunty are the die-hard supporters of the youngsters. Thakral, a wealthy businessman, is often at odds with the youngsters, subjecting them to one challenge after another. The youngsters take on challenge after challenge to get out of every tough situation they find themselves in. As a result, each episode is a cricket match against a new set of opponents. While the opponents vary, the youngsters often find themselves pitted against Thakral, who intends to acquire the Gulab Nagar Society land.
Characters[]
- Guru: He's handsome and clever and is also the captain of the team. He's rebellious by nature and is always up for a challenge. He believes in his team. He is also the best batsman in the team, although he can bowl. He has a crush on Tina, Thakral's daughter.
- Gyani: He's the youngest, shortest and smartest member of the team. He's obsessed with cricket and knows every tiny detail of cricket history. Unfortunately, he's also their weakest player, but is a good off spinner. He also usually invents some gadgets like tracker watches, etc.
- Bablu: He's the lazy fat kid who unknowingly causes a mess most of the time. He has the unique skill of never dropping any ball that is thrown at him. He eats food a lot even when he comes to the crease for batting. He has a yo-yo which the others think is a lucky charm for him.
- Bull: He's a gentle giant; a child at heart. He has a soft spot for babies and butterflies. He is the best bowler of the team and the most dangerous fast bowler in the world, who can bowl deadly fast deliveries of above 180 kmph. His deliveries can burn the batsman or even make a ditch in the pitch.
