'Shastri ... delivers like a "tracer bullet"' - The Hindu
From being Champion of Champions to one of the world's top cricket commentators to Team India's head coach Ravi Shastri has an incomparable perspective when it comes to the game of cricket. In Stargazing: The Players in My Life the legendary all-rounder looks back at the extraordinary talent he has encountered over the years.
Who in Shastri's opinion is the former Indian captain who didn't do full justice to his talent? Or that bruising bowler who went on to become a best friend? What was the most important lesson the legendary Clive Lloyd taught him? What did he want to tell M.S. Dhoni but didn't when the latter announced his decision to retire? How did Shastri set aside his personal bond with Virat Kohli in his role as coach?
Full of never-before-revealed anecdotes and insights Stargazing co-written with sports journalist Ayaz Memon and featuring illustrations by Shiva Rao offers a glimpse into how illustrious champions from across the globe have inspired one of the world's greatest ODI players and Team India's most successful cricket coach.
