281 and beyond

A fantastic book. Must read for all students, aspiring young cricketers as well as leaders. Detailed coverage and narration of important moments in India's cricket industry, and what when on behind the scenes. The challenges, the heartbreaks, the loneliness, and yet, the dizzying successes, admiration and lucrative endorsement deals. All that and more, in a extremely candid and honest book from VVS Laxman. This book is in fact my introduction to many facets of cricket, which I was not familiar with, since I am not a die-hard cricket fan per se.
Note: This book was read as part of exploring non-financial and unconventional autobiographies, to acquire knowledge of fields other than existing specialty, to learn and apply lessons from cricket, a world so similar to business.
