Ravi Shastri

Jeffrey is joined by legendary Indian cricketer Ravi Shastri to discuss which book and film he believes are ‘unputdownable’.

One of Jeffrey’s choices is the Bollywood epic Lagaan – a film that centres around the story of a cricket match held in India during the time of the British Raj. The pair also discuss the merits of one the 20th century’s greatest writers of Indian literature in English.

Jeffrey also has a score to settle with Ravi regarding his book Stargazing, which celebrates 80 of the best cricket players Ravi has encountered… yet which unfortunately couldn’t find space to include Jeffrey!
