Out Of The Blue by Aakash Chopra

When you are Rajasthan, last in the plate division, never having won the title, never even coming close to a final in over three decades, you don t play to win the honour, you play to save what you can of yours.

Ending up at the very bottom of the Ranji Trophy's lower division shook Rajasthan up. The team staked all it had on the season of 2010–11; it became the players one shot at redemption. This is the inspiring true story of the players motivation, their passion for cricket, and of a cricket association that changed the rules of how domestic cricketers are groomed in India.

Together, they resurrected the Rajasthan team – against all odds.This is the scintillating story of Rajasthan s first Ranji Trophy win, written by the team's highly successful opening batsman himself. If Aakash Chopra s first book laid bare the administrative apathy and corruption that domestic cricket is mired in, this one is a closeup of what it could be.
