Upneet Grover taps yet another chord in the reader - the secret dream of every young Indian to be the next ‘Master Blaster’ or the tearaway bowler of the national team. The protagonist of the book, Vineet Grover, is bright, young, and yearns to be an Indian cricketer. But he puts his dreams on the back burner and concentrates on his engineering degree. He soon becomes an IT professional, again a much sought-after professional qualification in India. But Vineet’s passion for cricket is soon re-ignited. He qualifies for a course in MBA and takes a break from his job. With time on his hands, he starts playing for a small club. But once he re-enters the cricket field, he forgets his IT job and his MBA. It’s cricket all the way and he decides to pursue his dreams. Will Vineet get his break, with the cut-throat competition that exists in the world of cricket? Are the sacrifices involved in reaching the heights too much for the young man? The author also intertwines a love story along with the main plot, which keeps the pace of the book rather brisk. The surprising twist at the end should keep readers turning the pages.

However, does that mean that dreams have to be set aside? The book explores this dilemma in detail. About Upneet Grover Upneet Grover is a non-conformist like his hero, Vineet.
