About the Author
JATIN PARANJAPE inherited many things from his father: dashing good looks, a passionate love for cricket, a keen understanding of how people and sport work and, for good measure, a sense of humour that entertains others even as it allows him to occasionally laugh at himself. Having won the Ranji Trophy four times with Mumbai, played with the best in the business and represented India on the world stage, Jatin has had a long journey in cricket. An untimely injury cut short his playing career, but it took him to sports management, entrepreneurship and beyond. When not watching a game of cricket somewhere in the world as a national selector, Jatin lives in Mumbai with his wife, Gandhali, and dotes on their twins, Aditi and Dhruv.
ANAND VASU wandered from the halls of his college straight into the Cricinfo offices at the age of nineteen, to spend a couple of months exploring cricket journalism. More than two decades later, he is still at it, having moved from Cricinfo to Hindustan Times and then to Sports Illustrated India magazine and Wisden India. He has won four national awards, including the prestigious Ramnath Goenka Excellence in Journalism Award. Anand's work has appeared in leading publications globally.

Every cricket lover should read this book. Indian cricketers wrote their experience with Legendary Coach Vasu Paranjape. It gives immense pleasure to read and know about how great man he was! Not only knowing cricket stories but also guessing the skill of cricketer within first few minutes and guiding him for correct role needs great skills. We lost great cricketer and coach.

200 pages and around 20 cricketers writing / speaking about the great Vasoo sir ..it is really very little.. He is Bradman of cricket anecdotes. Probably Jatin sir can plan to write multiple volumes on Vasoo sir cricket experience.
