Book review
In early 2004, the Indian cricket team set out for Pakistan. With two nations put to the test against history, the atmosphere was charged; there was more at stake than sporting reputations.
And, during those heady days of instinctive camaraderie something changed in the subcontinent, with cricket, as usual, at the centre of things.
A candid, funny, warm and uplifting, Pundit from Pakistan is a cricketing romp.
It progresses with the tour, chronicling the matches, the journeys, the encounters and the sideshows.
What emerges is a fascinating contemporary account of a beautiful game in its most crucial setting, captured through the eyes of a young Indian discovering Pakistan.
