Synopsis

'Indian Summers' is more than one man's story. It is an account of the dramas and disappointments of a coach and his team who worked and played in an enviroment where keeping your head is as vital as keeping your wicket. Where all that lies between rousing acclaim and utter disgrace is a single cricket match. It also lifts the covers on modern Indian cricket, as phenomenon and passion, and explains why coaching India is like no other job in the game.
