About this listen
Not Just Cricket... by Vikram Dravid is a novel that weaves interlacing tales, riveting cricket games, and the realities of life. The stores and experiences of his vibrant characters exhort you to think beyond the mundane and get you to reflect upon the ultimate ride, life, and its very authentic challenges. Entertaining the listener with beautifully worded anecdotes and descriptions, this audiobook is a testament to self-empowerment and the importance of being true to oneself. Arjun, a talented but easygoing kid from the cricket crazy metropolis of Mumbai rises from anonymity to the glory of cricket stardom. As the narrative shifts from Mumbai to Pakistan, the novel captures the coming of age of the young protagonist. Is it his inner strength and belief, innate talents, a talisman, or plain karma that brings him success? Not just cricket...is not just that. Vignettes of middle class life in Mumbai provide a rich backdrop for this absorbing tale. It is cricket but not just....

Story
From Andre Agassi, one of the most beloved athletes in history and one of the most gifted men ever to step onto a tennis court, a beautiful, haunting autobiography. Agassi brings a near-photographic memory to every pivotal match and every relationship. Never before has the inner game of tennis and the outer game of fame been so precisely limned. In clear, taut prose, Agassi evokes his loyal brother, his wise coach, his gentle trainer, all the people who help him regain his balance and find love at last with Stefanie Graf.
