Lords Theke Taunton by Sabyasachi Sarkar [Hardcover]

"Eight years ago, the complex whirlwind of international cricket abruptly swept him away, but in the new century, he emerged as one of the brightest stars in world cricket. The fairy tale of fulfilling dreams hardly compares to the incredible rise of Sourav Ganguly. From Behala’s Biren Roy Road to creating a sensation in the cricket world with his bat, the story of this Bengali son is nothing short of captivating.
Every turn on the path to success was fraught with obstacles, immense pressure, and at times, opposition from former players burned by regional biases. Yet, the higher Bengali expectations soared, the more successful Sourav became. Be it the century at Lord’s, or performances in Dhaka or Taunton, his three-and-a-half-year cricket career is marked by numerous milestones.
Beyond this, the book presents a detailed chronicle of Sourav's career from the beginning to today. Having accompanied Sourav on his tours in India and abroad for many years, the author offers more than a mere description of achievements; they reveal many unknown stories from the field and off it. The foreword of this book is written by none other than Sachin Tendulkar, and it includes a wealth of rare and unseen colored and black-and-white photographs."
