In cricket, the reverse sweep stroke epitomizes unorthodoxy. It also symbolizes bravado. Sometimes foolhardiness. Most of all, it suggests a sense of adventure. All fairly in concurrence with Gautam Bhimani’s unique swashbuckling style of cricket presentation. In his maiden venture between the covers, Bhimani takes the reader on a racy, anecdotal adventure across the geographically and culturally diverse world of cricket, in a tantalizing travelogue that endeavours to capture the unique character and flavour of the game, both on and off he field, in Reverse Sweep, Bhimani shares vivid memories of the idyllic settings, the crazy characters, the local traditions, the exotic explorations, and a few incapacitating incidents.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR Gautam Bhimani

GAUTAM BHIMANI was born on an auspicious cricketing date, 25 June, the date India played her first ever Test in 1932, also the date India won the World Cup in 1983. Cricket has been in his consciousness ever since. Six months after he joined ESPN in 2001, an off-beat story on the whacky ways to watch cricket sparked off a trend. A trend that subsequently saw him bring alive the lighter side of cricket. Bhimani has now covered international cricket in every single Test playing country other than Pakistan, as well as non-traditional venues like Sharjah, Toronto and Holland.
