After following the game closely for decades, author and critic Surya Prakash Chaturvedi has written a book on the history of spin bowling called Bhartiya Spin Gendbaji ki Parampara. The book was launched by former Indian spin king Bishen Singh Bedi. "It will be good if this book is translated into English. The players as well as Greg Chappell will benefit a lot from it," said Bedi.
