Aravind Adiga, the 44-year-old Indo-Australian author who won the 2008 Man Booker Prize for his debut novel The White Tiger, has credited the short-form cricket tournament, the Indian Premier League, as the germ of an idea that gave birth to his 2016 book Selection Day. Its heavily commercialised nature is what helped Adiga find his characters and story, of two teenage brothers groomed and pushed by their overbearing, obsessive father to become star cricket players, in a country that treats the sport as a religion. But the book only once namechecks the IPL, as it instead focuses on the local cricketing scene in the city of Mumbai, while exploring class, social, and gender issues that arise out of its plotline.
