Kabir Khan lives a middle-class lifestyle along with his widowed Mum in Delhi, India, and is the Captain of the Indian men's hockey team. He fails to score at the last tournament resulting in Pakistan winning the World Cup amidst allegations that he was more inclined toward his opponents due to his religion.

Kabir's disciplinarian style ends up offending the players, lead by the militant Bindia Naik, who decide not to participate unless he resigns amidst allegations that he is having an affair with soon to-be married Vidya Sharma, who he appoints as the new Captain.
Things change after a brawl at the local McDonald's, the girls accept Kabir as Coach, however, the Chair of the Indian Women Hockey Association, Tripathi, decides to pull out of the World Cup but decides to give them a shot after all after Kabir challenges the men's team.
The women lose by a goal but their performance compels the Association to revise their decision and dispatch them to Melbourne, Australia. In the very first match against six-time winning team of Australia, the Indian team lose 7-0 to, but manage to struggle back to the semi-finals after beating Great Britain,Germany, Argentina, and Korea.
On the eve of the final match Kabir will meet secretly with two rival players, Komal Chautala and Preety Sabharwal (who is engaged to be married to Cricket Team Captain, Abhimanyu Singh).
