About this title

Synopsis

Fourth in the world to have six victims in an innings on debut; claimed five victims in a world-cup match; was adjudged as the world's best wicket-keeper in the 1983 Prudential World Cup--this is Syed Kirmani for you. Very few people from the current generation know that Kirmani holds three world records.

A legend, Kirmani is one of the exceptional wicketkeepers to have ever graced the game of cricket. This book is not only about his life as a cricketer and as a person but also about an epic period of Indian cricket, the period in which India won the 1983 world cup, the Asia Cup and the World Championship of Cricket. A role model to budding cricketers, Kirmani through this autobiography, for the first time, opens his heart out candidly discussing the highest and lowest points of his career--from being one of the best in business to unceremoniously exiting the game.
