ZERO to HERO by author Darshan M. takes about life lessons from the author's real life journey of an IPL Team. First of all it offers us an insight into the working of the multi billion cricket league Indian Premier League (IPL).
Later through the blend of the 43 lessons through the ups and downs of Deccan Chargers in IPL it allows us to go back to our failures, success and moment of glory and again through the reminiscences introspect.
I am not much of a sport enthusiast. But I did find the book interesting and thoughtful. It not only let's us introspect but understand that how our lives impact the surroundings and other people and how we have been living our lives till now.
The story shatters many stereotypes and misconceptions and thus brings out many truths and a glimpse of the inside action of a sport that has been transformed into a high form of entertainment.
It shows what goes into the making of a world champion and how group or team work is one of the main things that work behind them. The incidents narrated can happen to each of us in our respective of personal and professional life thus making Zero to Hero a story not about one or a single entity but it's about all of us. Altogether it proves to be a wholesome read.
I recommend it to cricket enthusiasts and readers who like thoughtful reads.
