Sachin tendulkar autobiography book review

The other chapters present a mesmerizing account of the feelings that he went throughout his career as an individual and a player. The feelings which are otherwise impossible for a fan or a spectator to understand. His frank opinion about the Chappell brothers, Greg as the coach of the Indian team and Ian as an erratic criticand many other such accounts on and off the field help the reader better understand Sachin Tendulkar as a person.

The contribution of his brother Ajit and his close friends such as Samir Dighe, Jatin Paranjpe and his manager Mark Mascarenhas finds a frequent mention. Sachin also shares some lighter moments which involve him and some other Indian cricketers. Additionally, a few instances of on field banter involving foreign players. In these chapters, any reader with even a remote interest in cricket would be able to feel the intensity and enormity of these two occasions.

Overall, this book is a complete experience in itself. However, someone a bit unfamiliar with cricket, might be unable to fully appreciate some situations described in the book. They read like short essays of his performances. It was like, "I scored this much and it was an important knock. India won and I was happy. And there are hardly any fascinating tidbits on the goings-on inside the dressing room.

I do not mean to say that we should get something scandalous, but I would have enjoyed some more humorous anecdotes and colour about Sachin's fellow mates' lives. Sachin also steers clear of the many controversial episodes during his tenure of which he was a part of. That bit is actually captivating and one wishes there were more such instances he had explored.

Sachin has really poured his heart out here and it was absolutely delightful to know how Anjali actually pursued the shy Sachin and how vital a role she went on to play in the making of this legend. My respect for Anjali Tendulkar grew manifold after reading this chapter. Sachin truly was blessed to have found such a devoted partner who sacrificed such a prosperous career and focused on building her family with him.

I salute this remarkable lady once again! Final comments Although the book has avoided contentious issues, we must read the book to know a complete cricketer and a total family man.
