HISTORY - Eleven Gods and a Billion Indians -- The On and Off the Field Story of Cricket in India and Beyond:

By Boria Majumdar

The book goes deep into every Indian cricket tour -- taking the reader backstage to when India played its first Test in 1932, and bringing the story forward to the more contemporary IPL -- to provide a complex and nuanced understaning of the evolution and maturity of the game.

Equally, it comes with material that has never entered the public domain so far -- going behind the scenes of cases like Monkeygate, the suspension of Latit Modi, sot-fixing, and the phase of judicial intervention. It carries not just reportage and analysis but also players reminiscences, personal interviews, photographs and letters never known or discussed so far in Indian sporting discourse.
