A study of the controversies that have plagued Indian cricket over the years, bringing to life the intensity surrounding India's national game. "It gives good insights into various controversies including Ranj and his 'leg glance to the throne'. I must say that I thought I knew the story of Ranji and his accession to the Jam Nawanagar, but Boria Majumdar gives us a detailed history of the family plots and subplots which would do justice to a Shakespeare play."
