Are you one of those who just knows India will win the match the moment the game starts? Do you drown yourself in cricket and cricket-related trivia every four years and dream of seeing India win the World Cup? If the answer is ‘yes’ to any of the above, here is the team that will bring home the Cup for you.
Chosen from a pool of the country’s best one-day cricketers, these twelve men make up an unbeatable team. Picked by journalist and sportswriter Suresh Menon, it has some of the world’s best batsmen, bowlers and fielders, each player capable of winning a match almost single-handedly: Sachin Tendulkar, Kapil Dev, Sourav Ganguly, Mahender Singh Dhoni, Irfan Pathan, Ravi Shastri—this is a dream team if ever there was one, led by The Wall himself, Rahul Dravid.
Dream Team India tells us how these men became icons, how India has performed in one-dayers and in the World Cup since its inception, and why we have not won the Cup since 1983. There are also some cool new ways to enjoy cricket at home—get together some friends and play dice and book cricket using the rules given at the end of the book; use the scorecards provided to record matches as World Cup 2007 gets going and, best of all, turn into a fortune teller, predict the winner and win some terrific cricketing goodies!
