What makes Virat Kohli the undisputed monarch of the cricket world today is not his iconic status in the sports hierarchy but that the highest praise comes from the opposition camp and past greats.

Virat Kohli, the undisputed monarch of the cricket world today, is no stranger to loss. His biggest support both on and off the field—his father Prem Kohli—succumbed to a cerebral stroke when Virat was only 18 years old. In a fitting tribute that would’ve made his father proud, Virat returned to the field to continue an innings just a few hours after his father passed away. In Driven, Vijay Lokapally recounts happier times in the journey of Virat’s rapid rise to international stardom—an account punctuated with little-known stories from fellow players, coaches, and intimates.

Håndbold blev opfundet i Danmark, men alligevel skulle der gå 110 år, før det danske herrelandshold ved EM i Norge i 2008 vandt en international titel.

Denne bog går hele vejen tilbage til de første kast og klirrende ruder i Ordrup Latin- og Realskole i 1898, beskriver udviklingen fra pløjemarker til indendørshaller og fokuserer derefter på det uventede VM-sølv i 1967, euforien ved VM i Danmark i 1978 og Bolsjedrengenes optur i 1980'erne.
