Summary

As a young boy, Ravi Shastri followed India's record-breaking run chases on the radio, ears glued for every masterful stroke his idol Gundappa Viswanath played. Barely a decade later he was on the pitch himself, dazzling fans all over the world by hitting six sixes in one over. From being Champion of Champions to one of the world's top cricket commentators to Team India's head coach, Ravi Shastri has an incomparable perspective when it comes to the game of cricket. In Stargazing: The Players in My Life, the legendary all-rounder looks back at the extraordinary talent he has encountered over the years. Who is the former Indian captain who didn't do full justice to his talent? Or the fiery and inflexible New Zealand captain who went on to become a close friend? What is the most important lesson the legendary Allan Border taught him? Why did he nickname the formidable Kiwi captain 'Kane and Able'? What did he want to tell M.S. Dhoni, but didn't, when the latter announced his decision to retire? How does Shastri set aside his personal bond with Virat Kohli in his role as coach?
