Cricket Drona takes us through the life of cricketing genius Vasoo Paranjape, who left a defining impact on the game, shaping the careers of some of Indian cricket's greatest figures, from Sunil Gavaskar to Sachin Tendulkar, from Rahul Dravid to Rohit Sharma. This book is a first-hand chronicle of stories, life lessons and game-changing experiences, written in the words of those who were lucky enough to have crossed paths with Paranjape at just the right time in their careers. For generations of cricketers across India, and even for some in other parts of the world, Paranjape has been an inspiration, a mentor, friend and guide.

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. 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.
