Cricket 2.0: Inside the T20 Revolution

Description

Cricket 2.0 tells the stories of the characters who have driven the recalibration of a sport at a dizzying, relentless pace: the iconic captain Brendon McCullum, the paradigm shifting batsmen Chris Gayle and AB de Villiers, the pioneering rebel Kevin Pietersen, the Afghan spinner Rashid Khan and the US businessman Venky Mysore, the cricket revolutionary you have never heard of. These are the stars of cricket's present and the men who have shaped its future.Told through compelling human interest stories, Cricket 2.0 examines how a cocktail of globalisation, technology, big data and money are changing sport faster than ever before, analysing how a traditional game was revolutionised forever. Throughout its history, cricket has been an insular, conservative game that has lagged behind other sports. Now, it is at the cutting edge of change in the sports industry. For the first time ever, other sports are now learning from cricket. This is the story of how and why.
