Overview
Syed Kirmani stands among cricket’s greatest wicketkeepers—a legend whose accomplishments remain unmatched by many of today’s players. He was the fourth wicketkeeper in the world to claim six victims in an innings on debut, took five catches in a single World Cup match, and was recognized as the best wicketkeeper at the 1983 Prudential World Cup. Yet few from the current generation know that Kirmani still holds three world records.
This autobiography goes far beyond recounting his sporting milestones. It offers a front-row seat to one of the most iconic eras in Indian cricket—an era that saw India win the 1983 World Cup, the Asia Cup, and the World Championship of Cricket. Kirmani reflects candidly on the highs and lows of his remarkable career, from reaching the pinnacle of his profession to facing an abrupt and painful exit from the game.
Honest, gripping, and deeply inspirational, this book reveals the man behind the gloves—a role model for every aspiring cricketer who dreams of leaving a mark on the world stage.
