Publisher's description:

Gives a guided tour of the soul of a cricket obsessive. Part reportage, part travelogue, part cultural politics, this book takes us from Soumya Bhattacharya's home in Kolkata to Lord's and back again as he explores how one game has become so closely tied to a nation's identity, and the troubling hold cricket has over him.
