Wisden on India Book

Throughout its long and distinguished history Wisden has reported on Indian cricket around the world and commented on its highs and lows. One of the first references to a touring Indian cricket side was in 1889: 'Perhaps the most notable feature of the tour was the wonderfully successful bowing of Mr Pavri who took 170 wickets at a cost of under 12 runs each'. For a time India enjoyed a golden age of cricket largely through Lord Hawke's tours in the 1890s and then buoyed up by the exploits of Kumar Shri Ranjitsinhji who was chosen as a Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 1897. But there were set-backs to come such as the team's 1953 'Worst Start in Test Cricket' which saw Trueman scythe through their top order at Headingley to leave the team in disrepair at 0 for 4 wickets after 14 balls. Recent decades have seen formidable players such as Ganguly Laxman Sehway Dravid and Tendulkar lift India's game to great heights making them a force to be reckoned with.This anthology charts the progress of India through Wisden's pages using match reports articles notes obituaries and illustrations to bring this extraordinary team - and their equally extraordinary nation - to vivid and delightful life.Read More
