Having explored Indian cricket history in his previous books, prolific sports author Gulu Ezekiel now delves into a counter-factual history of Indian cricket from its roots in the 19th century to the present day.
In this fascinating study, he asks:
What if the Parsees had been thwarted in their pioneering cricket days in the mid-1800s?
What if the team selection and weather had been different in Australia in 1947-48?
What if Tiger Pataudi had not lost an eye in a road accident?
What if the 1983 Prudential Cup final had turned out differently?
These and other intriguing scenarios are explored in-depth in this unique first-of-its-kind cricket book
