Ever since India started playing test cricket in 1932, the game in this country has been full of incidents. This book is a study of the socio-historical aspects of Indian cricket, and deals with the trials, tribulations and successes of all the twenty-eight test captains that the country has had right till Rahul Dravid.
 It reveals how the game went through various twists and turns during the time each led the country - the players and what they experienced, their backgrounds and relevant issues. Not merely a history of the game in India, the work delves deeper into the psyche of players, captains and selectors offering rare insights into their doubts, inhibitions, ambitions and frustrations, and why they did what they did, what Indian cricket was and what it is.
