Show Hint
- Sachin Tendulkar
- Kapil Dev
- Sunil Gavaskar
Rickey Ponting
The Correct Option is A
Approach Solution - 1
"Straight from the Heart" is an autobiography of cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar, where he shares his life, experiences, and the journey of his cricket career. Why option (A) fits: The book is authored by Sachin Tendulkar, detailing his cricketing life and achievements. Eliminations: (B) Kapil Dev and (C) Sunil Gavaskar have authored books, but not this one. (D) Rickey Ponting has also written autobiographies, but not under this title.
Approach Solution -2
Since several cricketers on this list have written autobiographies, matching the exact title to its actual author is what settles this.
- Sachin Tendulkar: his autobiography is titled "Playing It My Way", a different book from the one named in the question.
- Kapil Dev: published his autobiography under the title "Straight from the Heart" in 2004, recounting his journey from a young pace bowler in Haryana to India's 1983 World Cup-winning captain.
- Sunil Gavaskar: wrote "Sunny Days", not this title.
- Rickey Ponting: an Australian cricketer whose memoirs were published under different titles altogether.
The title given in the question belongs specifically to Kapil Dev's memoir, not any of the other cricketers listed.
Hence, the correct answer is Kapil Dev.
