After playing his A-game on the feild, the batting maestro pens it down. I knew that agreeing to write my story will need me to be completely honest, as that’s the way I have always played the game. It would require talking about a number of aspects I have not shared in public before. So here I am, at the end of my final innings, having taken that last walk back to the pavilion, ready to recount as many incidents as I can remember since first picking up a cricket bat as a child in Mumbai thirty-five years ago,” said by Sachin Tendulkar at the publishers launch. The tell-all autobiography, Playing It My Way will release today. The book has been co-authored by renowned cricket historian and media personality Boria Majumdar. Before its launch the book has already been in controversy about the legend accusing former India coach Greg Chappell of being a ringmaster who imposed his ideas on players. Tendulkars not holding back narration on the Aussie coachs role has also got the backing from his contemporaries including Sourav Ganguly, VVS Laxman, Zaheer Khan and Harbhajan Singh. The batting maestro also disclosed that Chappell had made a shocking suggestion to him to take over Indias captaincy from Rahul Dravid months before the 2007 World Cup in West Indies. The front cover of the book shows Tendulkar raising his bat while walking away from the field one last time after his knock of 74 against the West Indies at the Wankhede Stadium on November 15.
