Cricket in our country goes hand in hand with almost everything. This could not be truer. Sports and management anyway have a very close connection when it comes to strategy, planning and also how to be successful at both.
Pitch It by Dev Prasad reaffirms this in a very skilful manner. Dev links the lives of top cricketing legends and corporate moguls and arrives at uncanny similarities through their professional approach to situations on the field and the in the board room.
The writing is crisp and engaging. The reader would never get bored with this one. The good part is that it takes into account in equal measures both the management side of things in the board room and on the field. If you are inclined towards either or both, then this book is for you. A good read full of anecdotes and situations that need to be dealt with using tact and intelligence.
