Cricket is not just a game, it's a religion. Every four years, new gods are created on the field. Each World Cup kicks off pitched battles and fan frenzy, with every match, every player and every run being analysed with fervour and recorded with vigour.
This reader-friendly essential guide is full of facts, statistics and details spanning the 40 years of the World Cup and its memorable matches and players.
Vimal Kumar has produced his latest book ‘Cricket Fanatic’s Essential Guide’ nicely where he whets the appetite of cricket aficionados, producing an easy-to-read line-up of stars and history from ten previous ICC World Cups.
Vimal’s 15-year experience in sports journalism and passion for the game comes to the fore in the way he garnished what the readers actually look to savour ahead of any big sporting extravaganza.
Be it the history of the tournament, the state of 50-over cricket, match-by-match detail of each World Cup, trivia, unknown facts or what to expect from the 2015 edition, the book keeps the reader engrossed, without realising the pain author took to first churn out these details and then compile those in a manner that you never lose interest.
With the 2015 World Cup beginning Feb 15, this is a must-have guide for the lovers of the game.
