Cricket is their first love but our men in blue have other passions too. In a bid to take their minds off the stress of playing the game in Sri Lanka, members of team India are glued to their laptops or hooked to their iPods. But it’s not all about song and dance, some senior players like Rahul Dravid are voracious readers. Dravid favours biographies and Lance Armstrong’s It’s Not Just About The Bike is one of his favourites.
Yuvraj Singh is currently reading Shantaram. He says, “I thought I’ll complete this book by the end of this tour but it looks difficult.” Dinesh Karthik likes fiction and self-help books. “The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari by Robin Sharma changed the way I perceived things. It left a huge impact,” says the TN captain. His colleague R. Ashwin has just read My Name is Rajnikanth by Dr Gayathri. “I have been a huge fan of his and wanted to know more about his life. The book has been quite inspiring,” he says.
