Book Summary 

Pitch It! draws compelling parallels between the world of cricket and the corporate arena to reveal lessons on leadership, teamwork, ethics, and success. Dev Prasad uses anecdotes from both fields—key moments on the cricket pitch, dressing‐room dynamics, match turnarounds, etc.—alongside case studies of corporate giants to show how principles that work in sport also hold power in business.

The book is structured around themes such as Leadership; Team Building and People Development; Ethics & Values; Execution; Innovation & Change; Knowing Your Market; Traits for Success; Teamwork; Attitude; and Challenges for Success. In each theme, Prasad presents a cricketing example followed by a corporate one. For instance, he examines Kapil Dev’s heroic innings vs. Zimbabwe in the 1983 World Cup and contrasts that with the turnaround at Nissan under Carlos Ghosn as a way of exploring how controlled aggression, vision, and daring can work in crisis.

Beyond inspiration, Pitch It! is meant to be practical: readers get a blueprint of behaviors, mindsets and practices that help build “winning organizations”—how to lead with humility, manage teams, innovate under pressure, deal with uncertainty, maintain values, and stay resilient even when the situation is difficult.

About the Author: 

Dev Prasad is an engineer by training (Electronics & Communication) from Regional Engineering College, Trichy (now NIT Trichy), and has done management development at IIM Bangalore. He lives in Bangalore and has held senior management roles in European and American multinational companies. Dev Prasad has wide interests beyond his corporate role: creative writing, poetry, mythology, travelling, photography, and sports. His debut book Krishna: A Journey Through the Lands & Legends of Krishna was long‑listed for the 2010 Vodafone Crossword Award. 

If you like, I can also extract key lessons from Pitch It! (say, 3‑5 of the most powerful ones) that might be helpful if you are using its ideas in work or leadership.
