Centurion: The Father, the Son and the Spirit of Cricket - Paperback

by Pramesh Ratnakar (Author)

Welcome to a world where you are author, creator and, of course, Sachin Tendulkar. In this novel, the reader takes up the guise of the famous cricketer and sets forth on a philosophical journey like no other.

Told in a light, engaging voice, the story moves from a single incident - the interview of a prospective candidate for the position of a college principal - to larger speculations about life, the universe and the great game known as existence. Sachin - witty, sharp and observant - functions as a guide on this metaphysical, fantastical journey from the everyday of a college ground to the larger ground of life.
