Ajun Ranjith is the devoted and highly respected groundskeeper of the historic Avenshan Cricket Club — and the proud, steadfast father of Snick. Revered across the region, Ajun is considered one of the most skilled and knowledgeable caretakers in the sport, a man whose expertise in turf and pitch preparation is the stuff of legend. Every blade of grass, every roll of the wicket, and every chalk line carries his quiet signature of precision and pride. To him, the Avenshan ground isn’t just soil and grass — it’s sacred, a living symbol of cricket’s spirit and community.

Soft-spoken yet deeply respected, Ajun is a man of few words and unwavering principles. His humility and discipline have earned him admiration from players, fans, and even rival groundskeepers. Before dawn, he can be found tending to the pitch under the golden light of the sunrise, methodically ensuring that every match — from a local kids’ game to a professional fixture — is played on the best surface possible. For Ajun, maintaining the ground is not just a job; it’s a calling. It’s his way of preserving the heart of the game for future generations, especially for his son Snick, whose passion for cricket mirrors his own youthful dreams.

Yet, behind his calm demeanor lies a heavy, lifelong burden — a secret known only to him. It’s a truth that could unravel not just his reputation, but the future of the club itself. This secret ties him to Avenshan in ways few could imagine, linking his past to the very soil he tends with devotion. To protect the game he loves, the club he has dedicated his life to, and — above all — his son, Ajun must keep that truth buried. His silence is both his shield and his sacrifice, a quiet act of courage that shows the true measure of his character: a man willing to carry the weight of the past to preserve the future of cricket.
