Swaminathan lives in Malgudi and likes to play Cricket. Swami's days are full of action - when he is not creating a ruckus in the classroom or preparing in his inmitable way for exams, he is trying to acquire a hoop from the coachman's son to run down the Malgudi streets, playing tricks on his grandmother, or stoning the school windows, inspired by a swadeshi demonstration. But the greatest feat of Swami and his friends lies in putting together a cricket team for the MCC (the Malgudi Cricket Club) and challenging the neighbouring YMU (the Young Men's Union) to a match. Just before the match, however, things go horribly wrong, and Swami has no option but to run away from home, wanting never to return to Malgudi again ...
