Rating – 4/5
A book that chronicles the journey of Indian cricket through its artist, the spinners. Any Indian cricket fan or a cricket tragic needs to read this book to learn the history of the sport in India. The book, in a way, also describes the growth of India as a nation through the eyes of its various captains and spinners.
The book reads as a beautiful river flowing through the various landmarks of Indian cricket and not as some Wisden player profile. It not only chronicles the history of spin but also the history of Indian captains because it is very clear that a captain’s involvement/non-involvement is of prime importance in the growth and success of a spinner.
Worth a read and I hope the author keeps updating this book every 5 years or so to keep this journey going…
