Anindya Dutta's fifth book The Greatest Year celebrates the achievements of the Indian cricket team in 1971 in beating both the West Indies and England away for the first time in almost four decades.
Dutta follows an altogether different narrative technique in this book – a nonlinear one. The book commences with the triumphant heroes returning home from England with a bemused yet happy skipper Ajit Wadekar, contemplating the extraordinary run of good fortune experienced by him and his team. It was a reception that was spontaneous and thousands lined up along the entire route of the motorcade both in Bombay and later in Delhi, where they were feted by none other than Prime Minister Indira Gandhi herself.
