WRIST ASSURED (HB)

 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 gives 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.
