Description
Wrist Assured traces the cricketing journey of wristy genius G.R. Vishwanath
from the dusty by-lanes of erstwhile Bangalore to the most iconic venues
in the world. It offers deep insights into the mind of a champion, and of
the trials and tribulations of an international career that saw both despair
and delight in his very first Test.
Vishwanath followed up a first-innings duck with 137 in the second against
Australia in Kanpur in 1969. The same crowd that had hurled matkas on his
way back in the first innings rose as one to celebrate his century, providing
him his first important lesson-nothing succeeds like success.
His solid middle-class upbringing instilled in Vishwanath a clear sense
of right and wrong which he harnessed throughout his 91-Test career.
Wrist Assured provides a ringside view of what made Vishwanath tick and
why he is one of the most adored and respected cricketers to have graced
the cricketing stage.
