The book has tried to revisit Sachin Tendulkar’s final Test appearance and captured all the excitement and emotion during the two and a half days of the match. The book elaborates the deafening noise in the Wankhede and how it turns into a silence so that one can hear Tendulkar’s footsteps as he begins the walk back to pavilion.
The book includes minute details of the match both on and off-field and the writer has also tried to tease out larger issues that plague the game in India as well as overseas.
