About the Book

Product DescriptionThe story of Indian cricket is, in so many ways, the story of the nation itself. It is also a game that has inspired some of the most insightful writing across all genres. Indian Innings collects some of the finest samples of this writing, thoughtfully curated by Ayaz Memon, one of India?s foremost sports journalists.In his own magisterial introduction, Memon traces the development of the sport in a newly independent country, and right up to 1971. The ?70s was a decade of inflection points that dramatically altered Indian cricket. From K.N. Prabhu to P.N. Sundaresan and Dicky Rutnagar to Ramachandra Guha and Suresh Menon, those years of famous victories and of the Spin Quartet come alive. The Prudential Cup victory, the legends that were Gavaskar and Kapil Dev, the Tied Test of 1986, the influence of television-voices as diverse as Rajdeep Sardesai, Raj Singh Dungarpur, Shashi Tharoor and Anil Dharker capture the historic 1980s.The post-1990s years have seen a profusion of cricketing riches for India. The Tendulkar Era, the epic Eden Gardens win in 2001, the 2007 T20 World Cup win, the emergence of the IPL, the 2011 World Cup win, the Dhoni captaincy era, the victory in Australia in 2021 and much more-all feature here, in the essays of some of India?s finest sports writers, like Rohit Brijnath, Sambit Bal and Sharda Ugra.Equally, the book wrestles with the game?s difficult history. The ?Summer of 42?, the match-fixing issue, the Greg Chappell saga, the Lalit Modi affair and more, are addressed in pieces by Bishan Singh Bedi, Aniruddha Bahal, Pradeep Magazine, Sriram Veera, among others.To round off these fine offerings is Clayton Murzello?s carefully prepared ?Milestones? section-a superb snapshot view of the last 75 years.As complete a picture of post-independence cricketing history as one could hope for, this riveting volume promises hours of reading pleasure for every cricket fan.About the AuthorAyaz Memon is an Indian journalist, columnist and author who writes on sports, politics, and social issues.
