Hello Readers,
I am Lakshit Singhal, a lawyer, cricket enthusiast and a travel buff.
I am based in Delhi. I am an avid traveller and like to explore different places, meet new people and derive pleasure from the little things in life.
Cricket Field Chronicles was born of a desire to tell the unheard stories of cricket - the tales lost in the noise of match statistics, heated comparisons, and endless predictions. Here, cricket lives not as numbers but as memories, feelings, and legacies. My vision with CFC is to fight against the “recency phenomenon” and honor the echoes of moments and players who have made the game timeless.
Along in this journey, I discovered that no other sport in the world inspires as much literature as cricket does - a testament to cricket's unique ability to offer new perspectives and life-altering insights.
This motivated me to showcase and highlight cricket literature and helps cricket fans in staying connected with the game. CFC has one of the largest collection of Book reviews and recommendations.
I also collaborate with acclaimed book authors and leading publishing houses of India to bring you honest and unbiased content related to cricket books.
Topics I write about in this publication
1. Forgotten & Lesser-Known Tales: You’ll find stories here that rarely make it to the highlight reels - like the unsung spinner whose spell once changed a local Ranji final, or the tale of a batter catching fire while batting. Cricket is filled with such fascinating stories.
2. Cricket Literature: A World to Explore: No other sport inspires such a wealth of books, essays, and poetry. I review and recommend classic cricket books - like “A Corner of a Foreign Field” by Ramachandra Guha and contemporary ones like“Chinaman” by Shehan Karunatilaka - showing how cricket’s emotions leap off the page. Our collection includes interviews with celebrated authors and fresh releases from India’s top publishing houses, ensuring you’ll never run out of great cricket reads.
3. Honest Reflections & Reviews: From documentary deep-dives to candid movie reviews, expect unbiased takes on how cricket is depicted beyond the pitch.
4. Travel essays and Stadium Guides: Travel essays and Stadium Guides are a cornerstone of Cricket Field Chronicles’ unique storytelling. These pieces take you beyond the scorecards, inviting you to explore the vibrant world of cricket through journeys to legendary stadiums, hidden local grounds, and historic venues. Through vivid travelogues, you’ll traverse cricket-rich cities, witness the cultural tapestry of fans, and uncover the human stories behind iconic arenas.
5. Off-the-field Stories: We delve into the intriguing world of cricket’s economics, management, and cultural impact. Such stories provide readers with a rare glimpse into the operations, challenges, and innovations that shape the game outside the playing field - spotlighting the administrators, entrepreneurs, marketers.
