Wrist Assured: An Autobiography

Wrist Assured traces the cricketing journey of wristy genius G.R. Vishwanath / from the dusty by-lanes of erstwhile Bangalore to the most iconic venues / in the world. It offers deep insights into the mind of a champion, and of / the trials and tribulations of an international career that saw both despair / and delight in his very first Test. / Vishwanath followed up a first-innings duck with 137 in the second against / Australia in Kanpur in 1969. The same crowd that had hurled matkas on his / way back in the first innings rose as one to celebrate his century, providing / him his first important lesson-nothing succeeds like success./ His solid middle-class upbringing instilled in Vishwanath a clear sense / of right and wrong which he harnessed throughout his 91-Test career. / Wrist Assured provides a ringside view of what made Vishwanath tick and / why he is one of the most adored and respected cricketers to have graced / the cricketing stage./
