In the last twenty years, Indian cricket has been transformed. With
the arrival of global television networks, mass-media coverage and
multinational sponsors, cricket has become big business and India
has become the economic driving force in the world game. For the
first time a developing country has become a major player in the
international sports arena.
This fully updated and revised edition of Mihir Boses classic
history is a unique account of the Indian cricket phenomenon.
Drawing on a combination of extensive research and personal
experience, Bose traces the development of the Indian game from its
beginnings as a colonial pastime to its coming of age as a national
passion and now a global commercial powerhouse. This illuminating
study reveals Indian crickets central place in modern India's
identity, culture and society.
Insightful, honest and challenging, Bose tackles the myths and
controversies of Indian cricket. He considers the game in terms of
race, caste, politics, national consciousness and ambition, money,
celebrity and the media, evoking all the unpredictability,
frustration and glory that is the magic of Indian cricket.
