“In India, there are over 20 million aspiring cricketers. Only 11 make the team.”
That’s not just a stat. It’s a dream. And a heartbreak.
Welcome to the world of Selection Day by Aravind Adiga—where ambition is currency, failure is brutal, and cricket is far more than just a sport. It’s survival. It’s obsession. It’s identity.
This isn’t a feel-good sports story. It’s a punch to the gut with every turn of the page. At its heart are two brothers, Manju and Radha, raised by a strict, cricket-obsessed father who’s determined to turn them into the next big thing. Sounds noble? Not quite. Because beneath the drive and drills is a darker truth—about control, sacrifice, and the price of someone else’s dream.
Adiga doesn’t write in soft strokes. He throws you into Mumbai’s gritty lanes, cramped homes, elite stadiums, and broken promises. He explores masculinity, class, freedom, and the fear of not being enough. It’s fast-paced. Tense. And emotionally raw.
Whether you love cricket or know nothing about it, this book grips you. Because it’s not really about the game. It’s about choice. About becoming who you are—even if that means walking away from everything you were trained to be.
