'a batsman's ambitions?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both human attributes as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?

'sure sign' is the wordplay.
'sure' becomes 'bound' ('bound' can be a synonym of 'sure').
'sign' becomes 'aries' (star sign).
'bound'+'aries'='BOUNDARIES'

'revealing' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for boundaries that I've seen before include "Borders" , "Limits" .)
