With cricket at its soul, Cricket India: Tales Untold is a masterpiece of history–replete with accounts of rousing patriotism on one hand and petty self-centricity and malice on the other–the two opposing sentiments that make for the most intriguing study of human nature.
It is a tale of a young nation’s grit to master the master’s game and the legendary people who gave their all to lift not only the game but the country from subordination to equality.
