Summary of the Book
The second edition of the Wisden India Almanack reinforces the idea that an almanack with India-specific content - The Blue Edition - is an idea whose time has well and truly come.
The second edition features Sachin Tendulkar on the cover, and the retiring Indian master has a special section to himself.
The on-field stories of India's 4-0 win over Australia and a Champions Trophy triumph ensured cricket came to the rescue of cricket; the well-timed square drive gained precedence over the towel in the trousers, allegedly a signal that the fix was on.
Contributors include Virat Kohli, Greg Chappell, VVS Laxman, Syed Kirmani, Pico Iyer, Ed Smith, Isa Guha, Mike Marqusee, Rahul Bhattacharya, Osman Samiuddin, Mike Coward, Justice Mudgal, Tunku Vardarajan and many more…
