It has been a long journey but the book that some of you know I have been working on for some time is almost here!

Tomorrow the book goes up for Pre-ordering on the Amazon India bookstore. And then in the coming weeks it will be on different websites everywhere and in stores across India.

'Spell-binding Spells' describes 50 magnificent bowling spells across different formats of the game in its long and illustrious history. It recalls the lives and deeds of bowlers all but forgotten, and relives some incredible moments in cricket history with little known facts about bowlers we think we know all about.

As VVS Laxman says in his lovely Foreword to the book : “This book is a tribute to bowlers, a breed that has never profited from the benefit of the doubt, a tribe that has gamely plied its trade in a sport whose rules have historically always favoured batsmen. This book is about fast bowlers striking fear in the hearts of batsmen while spitting fire and brimstone and spinners working their intricate webs of deception, and doing all this in single spells of magnificent bowling.”�

I hope you will enjoy reading the book.

Watch this space for the links as we have them.
