About the book
A tribute to the beautiful game of cricket, played the India way.
Starting with the very first Test match that India played in 1932, Indian Cricket chronicles a remarkable journey, highlighting key moments in the country’s cricketing history over the last century or so: from the incredible Test wins in the 1970s and the thrilling World Cup wins of 1983 and 2011 to the emergence of the Indian Premier League, the evolution of women’s cricket, the development of world-class ground facilities and the appearance of the ‘superfit’ Indian cricketer. Alongside, it celebrates some true cricketing legends: from C.K. Nayudu, Vijay Hazare, Vijay Merchant, Nari Contractor, Tiger Pataudi, Ajit Wadekar, Salim Durrani and the Spin Quartet to Sunil Gavaskar, Gundappa Vishwanath, Kapil Dev, Dilip Vengsarkar, Anil Kumble, Sachin Tendulkar, Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Virat Kohli.
A collection of fifty informative and anecdotal articles by cricketers as well as leading writers on cricket, Indian Cricket: Then and Now is a book that cricket aficionados of all ages will enjoy.
