Accuracy
In the book, Tendulkar mentioned that just months before the 2007 Cricket World Cup, Greg Chappell, who was at this time the coach of the Indian cricket team, visited Tendulkar at his home and suggested that he should take over the captaincy from Rahul Dravid, then the team captain.[9] Chappell however denied this, stating that he never contemplated Tendulkar replacing Dravid as captain.[10] The book has also been criticised for many factual errors, particularly with the scorecards.[11]
Release
Playing It My Way was released on 6 November 2014. It was entered in the Limca Book of Records for 2016.[7] It was co-written by Sachin Tendulkar himself, and Boria Majumdar. [3][4]
