Winning Run : An Entrepreneurial Odyssey

A life well lived deserves to be beautifully told and beautifully made.

Presented in a distinctive calico fabric cover, this collector’s edition memoir is as much an object to be treasured as a story to be savoured. For history enthusiasts, cricket lovers and anyone drawn to the remarkable rise of the modern Gulf, Winning Run is an essential addition to any bookshelf.

Abdulrahman Bukhatir’s memoir traces a journey that begins in a modest Sharjah home and unfolds across decades of extraordinary transformation in the UAE, across the subcontinent and on the world stage. From the cricket grounds of Karachi to boardrooms on every continent, from enduring friendships with legends of the game to bold and improbable business ventures, this is a story of vision, resilience and reinvention told by a man who lived it all firsthand.

Spanning the decades that shaped a nation, Winning Run is also a deeply personal tribute – to the parents who instilled his values, the brothers who stood beside him, the sons and daughters who gave him purpose and the sport that taught him everything he needed to know about winning and losing with grace.

Written with warmth, humour and hard-won wisdom, and rich with insight into a world few have witnessed so closely, this memoir captures a life lived boldly, and invites the rest of us to do the same.
