In India, there is hꦑardly any ot💜her sport which has the capacity to match the passion revolving cricket. From tiny toddlers to an aged fanatic, cricket is played by one and all in the country.
Former Australian captain Steve Waugh, in his book ‘Spirit of Cricket’ has tried to encapsulate the madness revolving the sport in the country, by travelling the length🐠s and breadths of the nation before COVID-19 hit globallꦅy.
The 1999 World Cup winner travelled to grounds in metropolitans such Bangalore, Kolkata, Delhi, and Mumbai, as well as Tier-II cities such as Agra, Mathura, Dharamshala and B⭕aroda to capture the moments on camera, depicting the frenzy surrounding the game.
Waugh, who is considered one of the legends of the game, has deꦚep regards for the spirit a📖nd love for cricket, which India houses.
“I’ve just taken 20,000 photographs from my 17-day trip all over India. This book will showcase the spirit of cricket in India and explore why cricket is a religion to the peopl🔯e. I have also over 50 hours of video footage to be turned into a documentary-style program. I will be editing all the above work over the next few months with the aim to sell the book by August. I’m hoping corporates in India will buy this as a gift to give thei♔r clients,” Waugh told Mumbai mirror earlier.
Now, former Indian batsman Yuvraj Singh recently shared the trailer of Waugh’s boo𓃲k on Twitter which also drew the interest of ‘Master Blaster’ Sachin Tendulkar.
“The spirit & love for cricket in India beautifully put together by the great Steve Waugh & his team! A wonderful display of equality, love & passi♌on for the game which unites the country!” 𝔉Yuvi wrote while sharing Waugh’s video.
