While much has been written about the success stories in cricket, with the struggles of those who achieve the ultimate glory being romanticised in newspaper articles, books and even biopics, the spotlight has rarely shone on those who don’t enjoy similar fame and wealth; those who invested the same effort and perseverance, yet failed to earn the India cap. This book aspires to take a look at Indian cricket through the perspective of aspiring and professional cricketers, at various stages of their careers, striving to become the next big icon of Indian cricket. It explores how they view their journeys and what they gain out of it.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In recent decades, Indian cricket has become a powerful vehicle of aspiration, its promise embodied in the rise of Mahendra Singh Dhoni, which has inspired millions. In a society shaped by entrenched inequities, the sport has come to represent a level playing field, where talent seems capable of transcending inherited disadvantage. That notwithstanding, the numbers tell a harsher story. In nearly a century, fewer than 600 men and women have represented India, while millions have playedand continue to playthe game with equal conviction. When promised fame eludes cricketers in the countrys most competitive vocation, what sustains their pursuit, and how do they make sense of lives forged through struggle and sacrifice? This is the story of the great Indian cricketing dream. In nearly a century, fewer than 600 men and women have represented India, while millions have playedand continue to playthe game with equal conviction.
