The Nine Waves is a tour de force. The most entertaining and comprehensive book on cricket
in this country to be published yet, it tells the story of the nine great waves that have rolled
through the history of Indian cricket, from India's international debut in 1932 to the incredible
achievements of Virat Kohli's team today. Each wave or era was chock-full of mesmerizing
stars, thrilling moments, great victories, heartbreaking losses and significant turning
points-this book tells the story of each of them in great detail. The first wave of Indian
cricket rolled in against the background of momentous changes in the country and the
world: Gandhi's civil disobedience campaign, World War II and India becoming independent.
Through each of the successive waves, India strengthened its position in the cricketing
firmament. Towards the end of the twentieth century, it became the most powerful nation
in world cricket-the prowess of the national team today matches the economic strength of
the cricketing establishment

Hearts shattered and familial bonds strained, the cricketing kingdom found itself in the clutches of guilt and regret. The prince of cricket, on the precipice of losing not just his title but his essence, sat forlorn in an opulent bar's private section.

Meanwhile, the king of cricket, his brother-in-law, looked on helplessly, burdened by a crown that now felt hollow. Though still holding the esteemed title, it bore no significance in the absence of his sister, a pillar of unwavering support throughout his cricketing journey. The fractured bonds were a consequence of the choices made, but a glimmer of hope emerged when Virat noticed something peculiar on the wine bottle tightly clutched by Shubman. Could this discovery be their final opportunity to locate his missing sister?Complete
