Title – Direct Hit
Author – Venkat BalantrapuÂ
Publisher – Self Published by the author through Notion press
A book that takes you on a journey through the cricketing world. Aptly titled Direct Hit, the author uses a straightforward approach in his analysis of the game on an international scale.
Through the book, one revisits the first T20 World Cup in 2007 that changed the mode of the game completely. We witnessed the emergence of various T20 leagues and thus the decline in the importance of the longer game formats.
The book also gives us insights to some major events that happened in the cricketing world that includes change of captaincy, insights to the teams, their records and the player stats too.
A must read for all cricket lovers as you will recall the classic commentaries that enhanced the charm of the game.
