The Reverse Sweep: Confessions of a Cricket Junkie

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.
