Nothing quite matches the excitement that cricket evokes across all of India--where the sport is not just a game, but a religion where cricketers are revered as gods.

For generations, we've watched cricket on screens, living each moment of the match as if we were on the field ourselves--feeling the tension, the euphoria, and the heartbreaks.

Of Spins, Sixes and Surprises: 50 Defining Moments in Indian Cricket is a humble attempt to relive those moments. Authors Shom Biswas and Titash Banerjea take readers on a remarkable journey through the history of Indian cricket, from the time when the nation's finest talent, Ranji, played for England, to India's rise as the global heartbeat of the sport.

The book also shines a spotlight on the rise of women's cricket, marking its rightful place in the sport's evolving narrative.
