Summary, etc. A Biography of Rahul Dravid: The Nice Guy Who Finished FirstThe first Indian to score five double centuries in Test Cricket, each of those scores higher than the previous one; the first Indian to score centuries in four consecutive Test innings; the first non-wicketkeeper in Test history to take 200 catches; the first batsman in Test history to score a century in every Test-playing nation of his time; one of the greatest match-winners of all time, and now, the coach of the Indian Under-19 team which won the World Cup!Sunny Days: Sunil Gavaskar's Own StorySunny Days is the fascinating account of the growth of one of India's greatest batsmen, one whose astonishing feats on the cricket field have caused innumerable records to be re-written and set close to impossible targets. How did the story of Sunil Manohar Gavaskar begin? What was the genesis of the man who grew to be a legend in his own lifetime? The story starts with a baby being switched after birth – luckily restored by an eagle-eyed uncle, he grows up to almost break his mother's nose with a mighty hit (a childhood habit that persists in later life), plays good cricket in school and college, inevitably graduates beyond university and trophy cricket, is occasionally booed by the crowd as his uncle happens to be a selector and then bursts into the international cricket scene with his test debut at Port of Spain at the age of twenty-one. The year is 1971, it is Gavaskar's year and sunny days have finally begun for Indian cricket. By the end of the 1975-76 season Gavaskar has played 147 first class matches, amassed 11574 runs and thirty-eight hundreds. He has played twenty-four matches in eight Tests, with 2123 runs and eight hundreds. And there is still nearly a decade left before the glory-days of the Kotla and Chidambaram stadiums. A fluently written book with Gavaskar's usual self-effacing modesty imparting a rare grace to its pages, Sunny Days is a must-read for all cricket fans.<br/>
