The Zoya Factor

When the younger players in India’s cricket team discover that Zoya Singh Solanki, an advertising executive, was born at the exact moment India won the World Cup in 1983, they become curious about her. Their curiosity turns into amazement when they notice that having breakfast with Zoya seems to bring them victories on the field. Conversely, when they don’t eat with her, they start losing matches. Convinced that Zoya is their lucky charm, they begin to rely on her presence.

The entire nation takes this belief even further. Impressed by the team’s unexpected winning streak, people start seeing Zoya as a Goddess of good luck. The buzz around her grows, and soon, the quirky president of the Indian Board of Cricket Control (IBCC) and his enigmatic, impeccably dressed spiritual advisor, Swamiji, ask Zoya to join the team for the upcoming tenth ICC World Cup. Feeling the pressure of their expectations and the excitement of the nation, Zoya agrees to accompany the team, stepping into a role she never imagined for herself.
