<P> Bhuvan begins to prepare the villagers for the match . He initially finds only five people willing to join the team . He is aided in his efforts by Russell's sister Elizabeth (Rachel Shelley) who feels that her brother has mistreated the villagers . As she teaches them the rules of the game, she falls in love with Bhuvan, much to the anguish of Gauri (Gracy Singh) who is also in love with him . After Bhuvan reassures Gauri of his feelings for her, the woodcutter Lakha (Yashpal Sharma) becomes enraged as he is in love with Gauri . </P> <P> In an attempt to discredit Bhuvan, Lakha offers himself as a spy for Russell and joins the villagers' team to destroy it . Eventually the villagers realise that winning equals freedom . As a few of them are insulted by the British, they join the team . Short one player, Bhuvan invites an untouchable, Kachra (Aditya Lakhia), who can bowl spinners . The villagers, conditioned by long - term prejudice against Dalits, refuse to play if Kachra joins the team . Bhuvan chastises the villagers, shaming them into accepting Kachra . </P> <P> On the first day, Russell wins the toss and elects to bat, giving the British officers a strong start . Bhuvan brings Kachra into the match only to find that Kachra has somehow lost his ability to spin the ball--new cricket balls do not spin as well as worn - down ones (which the team have been practising with). In addition, as part of his agreement with Russell, Lakha deliberately drops many catches . Later that evening, Elizabeth sees Lakha meeting with her brother . She races to the village and informs Bhuvan of Lakha's deception . Rather than allow the villagers to kill him, Bhuvan offers Lakha the chance to redeem himself . </P> <P> The next day as part of his promise to Bhuvan, Lakha takes a diving one - handed catch . However, the British score almost 300 runs, losing only three wickets by the lunch break . Kachra is brought back to bowl and, bowling with a now - worn ball, takes a hat - trick, which sparks the collapse of the British batting side . The villagers soon start their innings . Bhuvan and Deva (a Sikh, who has played cricket earlier when he was a British sepoy) give their team a solid start . Deva misses out on his half - century when a straight - drive from Bhuvan ricochets off the bowler's hand onto the stumps at the non-striker's end, where Deva is backing up too far . When Lakha comes on to bat, he is hit on the head by a bouncer and falls onto his stumps . Other batsmen get out rashly trying to score a boundary off each delivery . Ismail (Raj Zutshi), a good batsman, retires hurt as he is hit on the leg . The villagers' team ends the day with four batsmen out of action with barely a third of the required runs on board . </P>
