This is one short, quick read.
I really liked the cover, it's quite descriptive & conveys so much.
A "chota packet bada dhamaal" kindof a thing. I say so because it encompasses sooo much in just 168 pages.
It is quite realistic though.
There are 3 main characters in this script, a budding 🏏 cricketer, a female honest cop & a drug racket/ underworld don.
The cricketer gets in drugs & all, loses his career & eventually his true love, in the process. His girlfriend (biggest fan) is connected to kashmir, so kashmir angle is explored a bit too in the story. His only lifeline is his extremely cheeky instagram-o-holic friend, cheeku who keeps on pushing him to come out of dark shadows. Eventually he leaves drugs to make a comeback into his career & get back his love life.
The drug world/ underworld don is launching a new powder & to cover up he buys a criket team & a school & takes Vivank as the coach. This don, MM has also brought up an orphan girl like his own daughter, so that was a humane side of the Don to notice. She takes care of all the legal act.s of the Don & is a master in self defence.
Now MM wants to make it big in terms of money & sale of his new discovery via these cricket matches.
Zia, the cop wants to nab the Don during these matches.
Vivank, wants to make a comeback with these matches.
Who will succeed n at what cost is interesting to read about. MM's boss "the colonel" is another mystery. Also there's a Swami angle which is quite interesting. No spoilers here.
The narrative keeps on changing timelines which made me take a bit of time to adjust/ get the hang of.

drugs were some of the key terms used in the story.
Also the story ends on a cliffhanger. Fast paced, it is max. a 1 hour entertaining read.

What happens when the cricketing world collides with the underworld? The inaugural edition of Mumbai Super League is about to start. Eight teams comprising a mix of elites from the Indian cricket team alongside India hopefuls have set the temperatures soaring in Mumbai. Among them is Dongri Dragons, a team owned by the notorious gangster Max Malhotra aka MM, who once headed the most dreaded drug cartel in the city. MM’s suspicious entry into the cricketing world immediately puts the league on the radar of the police. Zia, the rebellious daredevil cop, who has had MM on her hitlist for a long time, starts keeping a close tab on MM and his ‘cricketing’ activities. Then there is Vivank, a failed cricketer, who was once considered a shoo-in for the Indian team but whose love of drugs destroyed his career. He’s roped in by the Dongri Dragons to coach their team. This is Vivank’s last shot at redeeming himself and winning back the love of his life, Leepa. A bone-chilling gangster, an ambitious and swashbuckling super cop and a heartbroken and forgotten cricketer are all looking for an elusive turning point that could change their lives forever—but nothing is quite what it seems. What happens when their paths cross? Find out in this remarkably suspenseful, action-packed and entertaining thriller, where every page is a sixer and every twist is a shoot out!

Cricket meets Mafia in a thrilling story
Reviewed in India on 19 April 2022
If u enjoy cricket and books both give this one a read especially in this on going IPL season.Story revolves around a drug mafia MM who is trying to rebuild his business after coming out of jail with his right hand Ricky and his kind of adopted daughter Parvi also helping him a mysterious man "Colnel".On the other hand inspector zia who arrested him 3years back is setting up the trap again and this time to finish MM before he begins his new business of Golden Snow.MM also buys a cricket team DONGRI DRAGONS in MSL(Mumbai superior league) to white wash his image where a failed cricketer Vivank gets opportunity to coach the team and how he try to achieve professional goals and get his lady love Lepa back.Will MM achieve in his goals or Zia bring him down again? Will Vivank be able to turn arround his life or again get attracted to drugs?What I liked :-Book is quite fast paced, easy language, short chapters, engaging and the end twist was really good.What I didn't like - Some characters were over the top and give u stereotype bollywood gunda vibes. Story could have been more explored.The book closes with a hint that there will be a sequel.

'Mafia premier league' revolves around several characters which are intertwined, a mafia gang prevalent in Mumbai under MM aka Max Malhotra who is trying to get his image clean thus he buys a cricket team in Mumbai premier league 'Dongri Dragons', Ricky who is known to be the right hand of MM and is few of those who are close to MM and most trusted, Vivank, a failed cricketer who is trying hard to leave his drug-addiction and make a career out of cricket and finally Zia, a striking and genius Police officer who once arrested MM and was again trying to get hold of him for good. The story starts with Ricky joining back MM's gang and implementing his plan of buying and executing a cricket team to cleanse his image after it was tarnished by MM's arrest. Alongside there is a love story of Vivank and Leepa who were head over heels in love but destiny had some other plan, what went wrong then? With the increase of MM's involvement in MPL, grows Zia's concern as to what MM is up to as she is sure MM is not simply trying to cleanse his image but there surely is a secret motive which needs to be revealed soon or it's going to be very late.
My opinion: I am one of those million people who are crazy about cricket and Bollywood has already made us crazy for mafia plot, the moment I saw this book I knew I have to get my hands over this book. And trust me it didn't disappoint. As we know from the blurb this book is a deadly combo of Mafia and cricket and it turned out to be amazing. The plot is neatly sewn around, the author succeeds in resisting the suspense till the very end. The characters are very sharply described and we can relate and feel them and their circumstances. The story goes back and forth thus providing us with more insight into the plot making it more happening and lively. This book makes a Bollywood movie come live in pages, we go to every adventure the characters experience, and is full of masala.
A much-recommended book for Bollywood lovers is a treat for the mafia and cricket lovers, do pick up this book if you want to get into a thriller as a beginner.
