FOREWORD BY MANSUR ALI KHAN – NAWAB OF PATAUDI , ABBAS ALI BAIG
Cricket Biryani: The History of Hyderabad Cricket by P.R. Man Singh is a rich and passionate chronicle of over a century of cricket in Hyderabad. Written by the legendary cricket administrator and manager of India’s iconic 1983 World Cup-winning team, the book blends historical research with personal anecdotes to trace the evolution of the game in the city—from its princely patronage under Nawab Moin-ud-Dowla to the rise of modern greats like Azharuddin and Laxman. Full of fascinating insights, behind-the-scenes stories, and detailed statistics, this book is both a tribute to Hyderabad cricket and a testament to Man Singh’s lifelong devotion to the sport.
