Best Cricket Autobiography and biography books from Rs 350
Player life stories
Six cricket books sit in this CrickBook777 Store aisle: four told by the players themselves and two written about them by other authors. Prices run from ₹350 for Driven to ₹499 for Playing It My Way. Gift buyers usually pair a memoir with a bat or ball from the next aisle.
Genuine cricket autobiography titles on the CrickBook777 Store shelf
Start with the book most readers ask for. Sachin Tendulkar's Playing It My Way costs ₹499 here, and it is his own account of 24 years in international cricket, put together with Boria Majumdar and first published by Hachette India on 6 November 2014.
Nothing on this shelf costs more. A Century Is Not Enough by Sourav Ganguly matches it at ₹499, and CrickBook777 Store files it as a memoir: Ganguly on captaincy, and on the comebacks that followed the setbacks. Same price, different temperament.
Three books share the ₹399 row. 281 and Beyond is VVS Laxman's autobiography, written with R. Kaushik and published by Westland in 2018, and the Kolkata 281 in its title is the innings that anchors it. On the CrickBook777 Store shelf, Sunny Days goes much further back. Sunil Gavaskar wrote it in 1976, and it follows him from Bombay school cricket to batting against the West Indies. Also at ₹399, The Dhoni Touch belongs to a different family of book altogether (more on that below), because Bharat Sundaresan wrote it about MS Dhoni, building the story from people in Ranchi and the teammates around him.
Cheapest on the CrickBook777 Store shelf? Driven: The Virat Kohli Story by Vijay Lokapally, at ₹350, which traces Kohli from Delhi age-group cricket to the India captaincy.
Reading in publication order is one way through the first-person books, though it only works for three of them, because Sunny Days arrived in 1976, Playing It My Way in 2014 and 281 and Beyond in 2018, a spread of more than forty years that puts Gavaskar's Bombay school days and Laxman's Test career in very different eras of Indian cricket. Dates for the other three? CrickBook777 Store leaves them off this page, since the edition you receive can vary by print run. Roughly speaking, start old or start famous. Either works.

Cricket autobiography vs biography: a clear CrickBook777 Store comparison
Shoppers at CrickBook777 Store mix the two up all the time, and the covers rarely help. An autobiography is the player's own telling, usually shaped with a co-writer; a biography is somebody else writing about the player from the outside, with access that can be wide or narrow depending on the book.
Four of the six books at CrickBook777 Store are first-person. Two are not.
| Title | Story of | Type | Written by, published | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Playing It My Way | Sachin Tendulkar | Autobiography | Tendulkar with Boria Majumdar, Hachette India, 2014 | ₹499 |
| 281 and Beyond | VVS Laxman | Autobiography | Laxman with R. Kaushik, Westland, 2018 | ₹399 |
| Sunny Days | Sunil Gavaskar | Autobiography | Gavaskar, 1976 | ₹399 |
| A Century Is Not Enough | Sourav Ganguly | Memoir | Ganguly | ₹499 |
| The Dhoni Touch | MS Dhoni | Biography | Bharat Sundaresan | ₹399 |
| Driven: The Virat Kohli Story | Virat Kohli | Biography | Vijay Lokapally | ₹350 |
Which kind suits you? Probably depends on the reader. A memoir like Ganguly's gives you the decisions as he saw them from the inside, while a biography like The Dhoni Touch assembles its picture from the people who stood close to the player, which can work well for a cricketer who has said little about himself in public. In practice plenty of CrickBook777 Store orders end up with one of each.
Sachin in his own words, Dhoni through other eyes: a fair pair for ₹898.
A small sum matters at the till. Delivery is free from ₹999, and Playing It My Way plus A Century Is Not Enough comes to ₹998, one rupee short; adding Driven at ₹350 takes the order to ₹1,348. Orders below that line pay a delivery charge; that figure, the COD fee and dispatch timing are set out on the delivery and COD details for book parcels. Payment is by UPI once CrickBook777 Store confirms the order on WhatsApp, or in cash to the courier. Books count as stock items, so an unused copy in its original packing can come back within 7 days of delivery.
