Mumbai, Feb 23 (IANS) Actor Rahul Jaittly, who will be seen in the cricket-based web series Game Of The Sexes, says he is thrilled to be part of the project.

Rahul came to focus with his role in the 2017 film A Daughter's Tale: Pankh, as well as television shows such as Dagar Panghat Ki, Savdhaan India, Crime Patrol and Airlines. He says being part of Game Of The Sexes is a dream-come-true.

"I am playing the character of Harsh, who is a typical Delhi boy. My character's journey is all about a non-cricketer becoming a cricketer. The script is fantastic and we all have so much to perform.

The series is set against a post-Covid backdrop when people have just started to step out to watch matches. The cricket board decides to restore the curiosity of the audience by approving a mixed gender cricket match. However, things turn out in a way that woman who moots the idea ends up getting expelled from the board.
