Overview

Inspiring, funny, gripping An exuberant tale of love, cricket, and migration From waking up at 2 a.m. to watch Test matches with his dad, to becoming the secret king of Cricket Twitter, Viraj Deshpande has always done life differently. This is the exuberant and moving story of how a cricket-obsessed boy from a small town in India defied expectations, dodged a 9-to-5, built a start-up before start-ups were cool, found love, lost it, and followed his heart all the way to New Zealand. Part coming-of-age comedy, part immigrant memoir, part love letter to cricket and family, this book is ultimately about the unspoken power of resilience - and the unexpected ways grief, failure, and heartbreak can turn out to be your greatest teachers. If you've ever chased a dream that didn't make sense to anyone else, this book will remind you you're not alone.
