Chasing Glory The Impossible Rise of Indian Cricket

Author Name: Arryaa Oduru | Format: Hardcover | Genre : Biographies & Autobiographies | Other Details

In India, cricket isn't just a sport—it's a way of life. From their first Test victory in 1952 to their T20 World Cup triumph in 2024, this chronicle tracks India's remarkable cricket journey through ten defining milestones. But beneath the statistics lies a raw, unflinching commentary on the lives Indian players endure—the suffocating pressure of billions of expectations, the sacrifices players must make, and the calm they must maintain amidst the chaos. As the Indian team transforms from the Maharaja-sponsored colonial playthings to global titans, we witness not just Indian cricket's evolution, but the human cost behind every boundary and wicket. This is more than a sports history book, it's a compilation of the untold stories of how ordinary individuals carry a nation's dreams while navigating their own complex realities.

Arryaa Oduru

Arryaa is 16 years old, and cricket has been a huge part of his life. Growing up, he’s always been surrounded by the game’s energy, its passion, and its history. And he’s always known there’s no other sport like it. To him, cricket is the perfect blend of mental and physical skill—a game that demands more than just athleticism. It takes intelligence, patience, strategy, and the ability to adapt on the fly. Whether it’s the precision of a bowler or the elegance of a batsman, there’s something about the way each moment in cricket builds that’s surreal. The slow burn, the way the game unfolds like a story, is unmatched. It’s not just about the spectacle; it’s about the deep-rooted values of sportsmanship and integrity that come with it. He believes that cricket has the unique ability to teach life lessons—lessons of patience, resilience, and grit—that no other sport can offer. And that’s why he’s so obsessed with it. That’s why this book is in your hands right now.
