#4 Captain Rani Rampal vs Captain Vidya Sharma

Rani Rampal has led the team for the front.

Rani Rampal has been instrumental in keeping the side together, and lifting the side after a heartbreaking loss in the World Cup quarter-final played less than a month ago.

In the movie as well, captain Vidya Sharma (potrayed by Vidya Malvade) is shown as a disciplined, no-nonsense character who is focused on building the team and winning the World Cup.

Just as Vidya's save (in the movie) was crucial in India winning the World Cup, Rani Rampal led from the front by scoring a hattrick in the match against Thailand, a top team that narrowly missed out on a semifinal berth.
