As the World Cup season is around the corner, lands the trailer for Abhinay Deo’s cricket docudrama Doosra. The film, which is yet to set a release date, relives the iconic moment when captain Sourav Ganguly took off his shirt and waved it in the air to celebrate India’s win against England in the finals of the NatWest series at the Lord’s Cricket Ground in London on July 13, 2002.

In Doosra, that milestone is described as “India’s other freedom struggle”, a moment of emotional liberation after a hard-fought victory against its erstwhile colonizers. The film relives that jubilation through the eyes of a girl from an orthodox family, whose struggles against social prejudices run parallel to India’s battle on the cricket field, according to the official synopsis.

In the trailer, shots of the protagonist are interwoven with footage from the 2002 match and interviews of cricket commentator Harsha Bhogle, journalist Rajdeep Sardesai, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor and more on what that match meant for India.
