The Spirit Of Cricket - India

The Spirit of Cricket - India” - Steve Waugh’s top 50 photographs from his epic trip trough India, from beach cricket to mountain tops, why cricket is a religion in India.

Steve Waugh; "Over my numerous visits to India, I have become connected to its friendly warm hospitable people with their welcoming smiles, all of whom share a love for cricket that borders on an obsession and a religion. Cricket galvanises and binds the population like nothing else.

Whilst the National team’s success can set India’s mood, every time I witnessed the joy of people playing ‘gully’, club and social cricket, or the spectators and fans who are so connected to it, I have truly sensed a genuine love for the game. Simply a  pure, raw unfiltered connection to the sport, set in diverse locations providing a backdrop to their own stories.

This is where the idea of  The Spirit of Cricket  came from, my long held and passionate desire to get out amongst it, free to capture this emotion and splendour through my eyes, and the lens of my camera."
