Notion Press, India’s leading self-publishing platform presents – Final Innings by Sunil Gupta. A psychological drama set in the world of cricket, Final Innings is an exciting voyage deep into choppy and uncharted waters.

The story follows the 5 years in the life of a world-renowned Indian cricketer, Ramdas Upreti. It explores the depths of human emotions, desires, disillusionment, hope, regret, love and longing, and the conflicting passions buried deep within him concerning his ex-girlfriend Anne and the Pakistani nurse Nargis. The book opens several windows into the realities of our world: why sub-continental cricket teams struggle in the SENA countries; the fraught India-Pakistan relationship; the powder keg called Kashmir; terrorism; climate change and

environmental degradation.
Exploring complex human relations set in varied international locations and in the exciting world of cricket, the gripping narrative of Final Innings will entertain you, move you, make you think, and most importantly, touch your heart.
