Description
Impact Index is a revolutionary new way of examining performances in cricket: within the context of the game, the conditions that the cricketer played in, the series or tournament, and the age. It is a statistical system that turns on the powerful idea that numbers are not trivia, they are the very stuff of history.
Created by JAIDEEP VARMA and led by him with SOHAM SARKHEL and NIKHIL NARAIN, it constructs a hitherto unexplored macro view of each performance, resulting in the unearthing of truly surprising - sometimes shocking-stories. Within these pages are tales of cricketers who did not get their due, of rightful comparisons through eras and a completely unexpected look at players you thought you knew. The result is a lively retelling of cricket history.
Former Test cricketer and writer-commentator Aakash Chopra examines each of the sixty-one Impact stories, drawing on his trademark thoughtfulness, knowledge and experience.
This book is an attempt to challenge and enrich conventional readings - and ultimately to redefine them by looking at the big picture. You may never see the sport quite the same way again. ISBN:9789352643851
