About The Shatak
The story behind the manga
The Manga
The Shatak is an original Indian cricket manga, created by [Author Name] and released weekly every Friday. It follows Aarav, a young cricketer from small-town Rajasthan, as he fights his way from dusty maidans to the biggest arenas in the country.
The name comes from the Hindi word for "hundred" — the ultimate milestone in cricket. A shatak is more than a score; it's a symbol of mastery, of staying in against everything the game throws at you. For Aarav, it is both a goal and a metaphor for the life he's trying to build.
The manga is drawn in a style that blends Japanese manga storytelling with visual references drawn from Indian cricket culture — the chaos of a small-town nets session, the specific light of an Indian afternoon, the particular joy of a cover drive that finds the gap.
The Author
[Author Name] grew up watching cricket matches on a rooftop in [City]. They have been drawing since childhood and have always wanted to tell stories about sport — the kind of stories that are really about something much bigger than the game itself.
