ABOUT THIS BOOK

As Mayank grapples with myriad emotions, he relives some of the darkest moments of his life after India?s abysmal showing at the ODI World Cup a year earlier. He revisits a damning no-holds-barred report that he had prepared, citing the reasons for India?s defeat. Reasons that ranged from ball-tampering to drugs, from philandering to betting. Haunted by these memories, with the T20 World Cup looming before him, Mayank must find out whether the match has been fixed, ease underlying tensions, keep team morale up ? and play the best cricket of his life. The chronicle of one man?s journey through the fickleness that is life and cricket, The Captain is an unputdownable thriller.
