Description
Growing up with the country's favourite sport! In Devgarh, a fictional town, the boys of the Star Eleven cricket team are the good and bad boys of the Holy Mission School. Captained by Ajay but led by Aakash, the team, both individually and together, get into one scrape after another with only one goal in sight--being the best cricketing school side in Devgarh. The R P Memorial Trophy is the most prestigious tournament in the district and the boys have a number of obstacles to overcome, not the least of which is finding a coach. Follow their antics and pranks as they go through a gamut of experiences from learning the value of money and honesty, first love, examination blues, victory and perseverance and transform into the Champs of Devgarh! Full of action and fun, this book is a charming and hugely exciting coming-of-age tale.

Person
Aditya Sharma grew up in Sonipat, aspiring to be cricketer. When his not- so- distinguished cricket career went for a toss, he tsudied law at Delhi University and then practiced in his hometown for a couple of years - until he discovered that he wanted to be a writer. Aditya started by freelanceing for various national newspapers and magazines. When a weekly publication took him on as a journalist in New Delhi, he was more than relieved to be rescued from a lawyer's drab life in the district courts. His articles and short stories have been published in The Hindu, THe Tribune, Sahara Time and Life Positive. Currently, he works as an editor with Reader's Digest in Mumbai.
