In this book, Neeraj Kumar, one of India's most well-respected and accomplished police officers – a former BCCI anti-corruption chief – takes us inside the seamy world of corruption in cricket. What one encounters is an ungentlemanly game of cops and robbers: swindlers who cheat young players while the BCCI looks the other way, sham matches held just for the sake of betting and top administrators who care more for commerce than integrity of the sport. This is an eye-opening and shocking insider's account of the rot within Indian cricket.
