Thomas Abraham of Hachette India while talking to Mumbai Mirror said, “Sachin’s team has worked on the book and it will have features that will be exciting for the young readers.”
The incident of his childhood coach placing a coin on the stumps and the batsman taking it if he remains not out also gets a feature in the book. The price of the book will be 1/3rd of the price of the original book which was released in 2014.
According to reports, more than 1,50,000 copies have already been pre-booked to Hatchett India on the day of release and before sales begun. Notably, Sachin’s autobiography broke the record set by Steve Job’ biography as the most selling book which sold 1,30,000 copies.
