Through personal interviews, archival footage, and heartfelt moments, the documentary offers viewers an authentic look at the man behind the bat, someone who achieved monumental success early in life but faced the harsh realities of competitive cricket.
Its release, scheduled just ahead of the Indian domestic season, is expected to reinvigorate conversations about the pressures faced by emerging cricketers in India and the thin line between stardom and struggle.
Chand's Rise And Fall
Unmukt Chand’s cricketing career began with extraordinary promise. Born on March 26, 1993, in Delhi, Chand rose to national prominence as the inspirational captain of the Indian Under-19 team that clinched the 2012 ICC Under-19 World Cup. Leading from the front, he scored an unbeaten century in the final against Australia, etching his name in youth cricket lore.
This early success was followed by remarkable performances in domestic cricket, including a debut first-class season average above 57 and electrifying knocks for Delhi in the Ranji Trophy.
However, Chand’s transition from star youth player to senior cricketing success proved challenging. Despite his evident talent, opportunities at the highest level became scarce. A series of inconsistent performances in the Indian Premier League and domestic matches saw him gradually slip from the national radar.
This phase of his career was marked by frustration and uncertainty, as he struggled to find a permanent foothold amidst fierce competition. Displaying resilience emblematic of his journey’s title, Chand reinvented himself by moving abroad and participating in emerging cricket leagues, notably for the Los Angeles Knight Riders in MLC.
