Bøger af Gulu Ezekiel

For the first time, a book on Indian cricket heroes, chosen by 12 prominent Indians, all with links to Indian cricket.Edited by famed cricket author Gulu Ezekiel, the contributors are from a wide range of professions-the law, journalism, publishing, medicine, etc--though all with strong cricket connections. There have been books on cricketing heroes before, but none exclusively dealing with Indian cricket and cricketers. The idea of this book therefore was to get Indians prominent in their fields to choose their favourite Indian cricketers.The book is thus unique and also contains never-before-seen photos.

Sachin Tendulkar made an immediate impact on the cricket world at the tender age of 16 in 1989. For the next 24 years he went from strength to strength and even in his teens was recognized as one of the world's greatest batsmen. By the end of his career in 2013 he had cemented his place as one of cricket's all-time greats. This best-selling biography was first released in 2002, followed by the second and third editions in 2010 and 2012. The Collector's Edition marks the master's 50th birthday, a decade since his retirement.>'An eminently readable life story of India's most loved sportsperson'--JT Jacob, The Hindu
