Description

'This rivalry has got bigger and bigger. It's not just Australia and India. The entire cricketing world is watching.' - Ravi Shastri

As Australia and India battle for the World Test Championship, today's pre-eminent cricket writer, Gideon Haigh, has captured a century of fierce rivalry between these two cricketing superpowers: from Bradman and Hazare to the unforgettable tied test of '86, Warne versus Tendulkar and Australia's victorious away series of 2004, to today's heroes Cummins and Kohli, India's astonishing win at the Gabba in 2021 - and of course Australia's shock 2023 World Cup victory in front of 92,000 in Ahmedabad.

From over three decades of covering cricket's greatest matches, in Indian Summers Gideon Haigh, author of On the Ashes, has brought together a collection from this most glorious cricketing contest and its most infamous moments, from colonial times to the present day.
