My simple answer is to dedicate this book to those fans for their unwavering support and encouragement.  \nThe others who need to be thanked profoundly must quite obviously start with Anjali, my devoted wife and partner in everything, who felt I could and should tell my story for posterity. My readers will know if I have managed to do so well enough.  \nSincere thanks must also go to the following:  \nAjit, who grew up with me and made me the cricketer I was, and who shared my passion for telling my story. Thanks to him for reading and commenting on the drafts.  \nArjun and Sara, who when they read this book will know how much I have always loved them and how I felt at not being with them more in their growing-up years.  \nAparna Santhanam, family friend and much more, who was a real inspiration at the writing stage. She read each chapter and her suggestions proved invaluable.  \nVinod Naidu, my manager and good friend, for putting the idea of an autobiography to me in the first place and more importantly for being someone I have always been able to depend on for guidance in commercial matters over the past decade.  \nAmit Bhangar, for constantly but gently reminding me of the deadlines and pushing me to complete the book in the time frame we were given.  \nRoddy Bloomfield, my publisher, who has worked closely with me on the book from start to finish and who is a man whose judgement I have been able to trust; Fiona Rose, his able and helpful editorial assistant at Hodder; Tim Waller, the external editor, who has helped to shape and refine the manuscript.  \nFinally, to Boria Majumdar, friend and co-writer. By sheer persistence he managed to persuade me over the last three years to spend endless sessions reflecting on every aspect of my life. His infectious enthusiasm and intelligent questions got me fully involved in animated, thoughtful and enjoyable discussion. Through his commitment and focus he has been able to convey the whole story in my","cbCainjaZ0W20SnS","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainjaZ0W20SnS","pdf",7211634,351,"English","# Contents\n## Title Page\n## Copyright\n## Dedication\n## Acknowledgements\n## Prologue\n## 1.
