Harsha Bhogle in his weekly column in the Indian Express has captured the entire gamut of Indian cricket. Out of the Box brings together the very best of Harsha’s writings, in a book that will be a veritable delight for any cricket fan.
Knowledgeable, frank and witty, and with a sense of drama comparable to that of cricket itself, Harsha brings the nation’s cricketing ethos inimitably to life. And he is at his best when paying tribute to some cricketing greats—Lara, Inzamam, Jayasuriya, Ganguly, Sehwag, and the incomparable Tendulkar.
As he follows India’s fortunes on the cricket field at home and overseas, Harsha asks the question: can India really be no.1 in all three forms of the game? The answer lies in our history, and in the pages of Out of the Box.
About The Author
Harsha Bhogle is widely recognized as the face and the voice of Indian cricket. A recipient of numerous awards, he was voted by readers of Cricinfo as their ‘most favourite cricket commentator’ in a worldwide poll in 2008. One of his proudest possessions is a photograph of a group of spectators in Pakistan holding a banner that says ‘Harsha Bhogle fan club’.
Harsha has been the face of ESPN in India since the day they went on air in 1995 and presents cricket—and, in an interesting diversion, the World Cup of football in 2006—for ESPN Star Sports. He has worked on all the major radio stations in the cricketing world as well, with a special affinity for Australia which he first visited in 1991-92, and where he was dubbed the ‘sexiest voice on radio’. He is close to achieving the double of working on 100 Tests and 400 one-day internationals, the first of which came in 1983.
