One of the most sought-after Indian novels based on cricket, The Pride Of T20 Cricket by Abhishek Kapoor will be available free of cost on 12th June 2024 on Amazon Kindle exclusively to promote reading amongst the Indian youth. “I know how much Indian youth have appreciated my writing, and to promote book reading in general, I will offer my book free on Kindle on the India vs USA cricket T20 World Cup match day,” said author Abhishek Kapoor.
Indian Book Community reacts to Author Abhishek Kapoor’s initiative
Varun Taneja, a renowned name in the Indian book community, says, “Abhishek Kapoor is the best author in India and his book The Pride Of T20 Cricket is certainly one of the best books to read by an Indian author. Our community overall is too impressed that this bestselling book will be available for free this Wednesday. Believe it or not, the community is overly excited and we expect it to become a bestseller on Amazon within minutes.”
Quora expert and book critic Ishaan Sharma recently pointed out that book readership overall has suffered a dent in the past few years in India. The reason is that youth don’t want to spend extra money on books. They prefer to gain knowledge from YouTube and social media, which many won’t even realize is a trap of misinformation. “According to me authors like Abhishek Kapoor should be labelled as the best author in India because they make us, the Indian youth, read and develop a love for reading,” says popular book blogger Amrita.
“The Pride Of T20 Cricket by Abhishek Kapoor is my favourite book. I love the writing style and pace. You may like Chetan Bhagat, Ashwin Sanghi, etc but for me, the best author in India definitely is Abhishek Kapoor,” writes Avinash Agarwal, an expert of book reviews in India.
The Pride Of T20 Cricket is one of the best books you would read by an Indian author. It’s a light hearted novel that will definitely bring a smile on your face. The story of a controversial cricket coach and his team of rookies takes a lot of comic turns to reach the finals of the tournament. The simultaneous plot of a love story of the coach’s daughter and opposite team captain has been shared superbly. The book has a lot of hidden messages and that is its USP.
India have recently defeated Pakistan in yet another close world cup encounter between arch rivals. Indian bowling led by Jasprit Bumrah outshined Pakistani batting in a closely fought match. India also defeated Ireland to make 2 wins out of 2, meanwhile USA also beat Pakistan and Canada to complete 2 wins. It would be interesting to see which teams qualify for the next stage as Pakistan, Canada, and Ireland plan to give a tough competition to India and USA.
