About the Book

Beyond The Blues: A Cricket Season Like No Other is a delightful inside account of the highs and lows of the most revered game in India. Summary Of the Book Beyond The Blues: A Cricket Season Like No Other is a fascinating and detailed book on Indian cricket by Aakash Chopra. He  made his debut as opening batsman in the Ranji Trophy during the 1997-98 season. The year 2007 was a landmark year in his career as he starred in the Delhi team’s victory in the Ranji Trophy and the North Zone, and the North Zone’s triumph at the Duleep Trophy. Thereafter, he got a taste of glamour and media attention when he was selected by Kolkata Knight Riders for IPL 2 (Indian Premier League). This book is his account of that eventful season and his hopes, failures, successes and the behind-the-scenes politics at play in, arguably the most popular game in India. Aakash Chopra gives an extremely insightful and honest view of domestic cricket and the underlying hope of every cricketer to make it to the national team. The pressures of a punishing schedule, lack of facilities, favouritism and politics, petty opposition teams, training and fitness issues, and the role of the media in creating images are all dealt with candour and straightforwardness. The book also includes an interesting insider’s view on the various matches that he plays in and his interactions with his colleagues, the media and the cricket authorities. In the book, he also highlights the role of the administrators in promoting new talent, the politics and power play involved, and the constant pressure on a batsman to hit the mark. Beyond The Blues: A Cricket Season Like No Other is a heartfelt and moving attempt to understand the insecurities faced by every cricketer and the hard work and stress involved behind all the glitz and glamour.
