Winning Like Virat: Think and Succeed Like Kohli
Virat Kohli scored only 10, 12 and 19 runs in his debut domestic, ODI and Test matches, respectively. Today, he is hailed as one of the greatest batsmen in the world. But how did this transformation come about?
If we focus on Virat, the cricketer and the man, we will find some extraordinary traits—his leadership skills, the ability to keep his cool under pressure, a fearless attitude and a desire to win every game—that have shaped him as he is today. Off the field too, his maturity in handling the media and business acumen testify to his excellent leadership and man-management skills. There is little doubt that Virat’s success is not a matter of luck alone but of relentless hard work and a dedicated goal to succeed.
As a young professional or student there is a lot to learn from Virat’s achievement. Abhirup Bhattacharya’s Winning like Virat: Think & Succeed like Kohli attempts to understand the secrets of his phenomenal success and tells the reader how best to emulate these in life.
Winning Like Sachin: Think and Succeed Like Tendulkar
Sachin Tendulkar achieved a lot more than victories, runs and records in a career that spanned nearly a quarter of a century. He was born with talent, but he proved that talent alone amounted to nothing in the long run unless it is coupled with hard work. His quest for perfection and commitment to his team and country ensured that he had an outstanding career as a cricketer, which culminated with the Government of India conferring the Bharat Ratna—the country’s highest civilian honour—on him.
Devendra Prabhudesai’s Winning like SACHIN: Think & Succeed like Tendulkar offers the winning attributes that make Sachin an inspiration for generations. The book spotlights his penchant for taking initiative, utilizing opportunities, handling crises, perseverance, and his knack of leading front the front. These qualities make him the ideal role model for all professionals wishing to make a mark in their field.
Winning Like Saina: Think and Succeed Like Nehwal
Laying out her winning traits and abilities, this book chronicles Saina Nehwal’s journey from entering the badminton court to winning the coveted Olympic medal. Saina is not the flamboyant kind, but considering her a dove will be a mistake. Always a silent hawk, she has not let success get to her mind and continues to be devoted to badminton. Driven partly by her parents and partly by Pullela Gopichand’s coaching, she has managed to establish herself as a woman with a good head on her shoulders. Commanding a substantial brand value in a sport other than cricket in a country like India is something very few can achieve and Saina has managed to do that successfully.
