The year was 1983, and Team India was in its first-ever World Cup final. They were the minnows of the cricketing world so much so that the bookmakers were offering 66:1 odds against Indian winning the title. Yet, despite the odds stacked against them, Kapil Devs inspirational captaincy took a bunch of no-hopers to World Cup glory. As Dev held the trophy in his hand on 25 June that year, India ushered in an era during which cricket would go on to dominate all sporting activity in the country and the 14 men who played the winning innings would be venerated as demigods. Based on first-hand accounts of the players themselves of the days leading up to that historic win, Miracle Men will enable readers to relive the most glorious moments in Indian cricket, from dressing-room disagreements to selectorial intrigues to on-field strategy and is as entertaining and full of unexpected turns as the best game of cricket.

It was a very nice 'go down memory lane' book and it came alive, thanks to the movie 83 which seems to have been based on this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Miracle Men a book that can't be put down till the last lineis read!
Reviewed in India on October 24, 2019
Verified Purchase
Had ordered Miracle Men couple of days after one was told about it. Started reading MM a couple of days ago and finished it this morning at 2AM. Having lived through times and watched the semi final and final TV including the glitches Nikhil mentions😅, found the narration gripping. His storytelling powers (ack by him in the very beginning) are amazing. Loved the way he humanised the story. The environment in UK, the team, it's turbulations, transformation and victory were as if one was reliving those moments! This time one felt being an insider. The style of narration as an anchor who is aware that reader knows the end but weaves a story that grips beyond words. Fell in love with Indian community characters, Ayaz and got involved in their hopes and aspirations! That's the power of this amazing book.I can go on and perhaps write a book on my experience of reading MM! Blessed are those who still read books!

There are enough mistakes to make this less than it should be. It was a good story but lacked something

4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful but too melodramatic at times
Reviewed in India on July 7, 2019
Verified Purchase
A beautiful narrative on the 83 campaign, full of anecdotes, written in very lucid language. Another good thing was that it is not filled with technical details and the length just right to fill up the gap between India's matches in the ongoing world cup! Read it to realize how far our cricket and country have come since that 1st triumph!
The cons: honestly it is too cheeky at places, especially the references to Bollywood songs. There was actually no need for this melodrama
Should you buy it: yes, definitely a one time read!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful narration
Reviewed in India on July 16, 2019

A wonderfully narrated story which makes you not want to keep the book down. Thought I would be reading a single players point of view but was happily surprised by the narrative. The side anecdotes were very interesting considering the fact that I was only 2 years old when all of this happened. So to get a perspective of that era truly brought the whole story alive. Great research done by the author. A good read for sports enthusiasts
