Book: Faf Through Fire
Author: Faf Du Plessis
Genre: Autobiography
Publisher: Penguin eBury Press
With the ongoing Cricket World Cup and the craze of the sport, I started reading the autobiography of one of the cricketers whose presence on the ground was cherished by cricket lovers. Faf Du Plessis is a name that every cricket fan is aware of. But what we all have seen was only a side of him, a side of him on the cricket ground. But there’s a lot more than that, and this book tells that story.
Faf Through Fire by Faf Du Plessis is this account from his childhood days to playing the domestic and then for the Proteas, and his long journey from debuting in ODIs to Tests, playing in IPL, World Cup, and experience with Dhoni, CSK, and RCB!
But what appealed to me the most was his relationship dynamics with his parents and his wife- Imari and how much impact they have in his personality. He describes his relationship with AB de Villiers and other players in detail as well, in a very raw and honest way.
It showed how team leadership, management, and environment are vital for the players, and provides a detailed perspective about it through his experiences.
The book shows the psychological aspects of the player and how it impacts and gets impacted by the personal life and the people around us. Although the book gets a little repetitive at times and loses the grip, it was overall an interesting read, that keeps hooked till the end.
I was provided a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
You can buy the book from Amazon or any bookstore near you!
