What happens next?
"Kabir Sharma and the Big Dream" by @Ruthwik S.M. is a wonderful book. It is the first book of the author in which he has offered a charming memoir and a charter of the Cricketer. Ruthwik has skillfully narrated the game at every level - school, club and the country. The narrative is very enchanting and engrossing. It is very appreciating that a newbie author has successfully managed to present the game as a very captivating read.
The book is divided into 24 chapters and the story has a natural progress with every chapter. It is a one time read and is unstoppable.
The concept of the book is new to me. The language is lucid.
The book is a must read for all cricket loving fans.
