Playing for India

Here is a substantial work which reviews Indias nearly half a century of international cricket, and places our test cricketers and their deeds in a historical perspective. Abandoning the traditional approach of other reviewers, each chapter is devoted to a particular specialisation of cricket. The author evaluates specialists through comparison and analysis, supported by statistics, and also records whatever lines of succession they began on, or continued, making the book the first of its kind on Indian cricket.
