This is an autobiographical account of the life of Jasdev Singh, India’s renowned Hindi sports commentator. The book gives an eyewitness account of many monumental events in the field of sports. But Jasdev Singh did not merely cover sports.

While giving us fascinating first-hand accounts of these events, the author gives us a glimpse into his personal life – his losses, his struggles, the obstacles he faced and how he overcame them and also his amazing victories. He was awarded the Padma Shri and the Padma Bhushan by the Government of India for his outstanding services.
