Democracy's XI: Sachin Tendulkar, Sunil Gavaskar & Harsha Bhogle with Rajdeep Sardesai

Nothing unites India like cricket. The Indian team is a glorious mix of people from big cities and small, from different religions, classes, castes, regions and languages; where the son of a pump manager from Ranchi can dare to dream; where a child prodigy from Mumbai can play beside a Muslim from the back alleys of Hyderabad. And while dynasts can rule the roost in politics and Bollywood, cricket presents a level playing field that mirrors the spirit of our constitution. The sport, then, reflects the best of India.

Juggernaut Books, Royal Opera House, Mumbai and Avid Learning invite you to celebrate the release of journalist Rajdeep Sardesai's new book, Democracy’s XI: The Great Indian Cricket Story, in the presence of cricketing legends Sunil Gavaskar and Sachin Tendulkar.

The duo will then be in conversation with cricket commentator and journalist Harsha Bhogle and the author to discuss themes and anecdotes from the book as well as the history of Cricket- and through it the history of a Nation.
