Chetan Chauhan has departed from the world, but the impression he has left in the hearts of cricket lovers will always be indelible. For his bravery on the field, he will be remembered outside the field for his humility.

In the Sydney Test in 1977, he faced Australian fast bowler Thomson with great bravery. He may have turned a cricketer to a politician, but cricket never got out of his heart. Whether it was the corridor of the Lok Sabha or in his cabin in Ferozeshah Kotla, cricket was talked about.

Even after spending a long time on the field, Chauhan remained involved with the game as a selector, administrator, and manager. He held high positions in DDCA.

Gavaskar-Chauhan is the second-best pair

The opening pair of Sunil Gavaskar and Chetan is the second-best pair in the history of Indian Test cricket. The duo added 3010 runs in 59 innings at an average of 53.75. There is also a partnership of 213 runs played in the historic Oval Test of 1979. The partnership was chased by a record target of 438 runs.

Played 40 Tests but failed to score a century

Chauhan had an unsolicited record. Despite playing forty Tests and scoring over two thousand runs, he never scored a century in Tests. In 1981, Adelaide missed out on just three runs in the Test by 97 runs. Chauhan was also the manager of the Indian team on the disputed Australian tour of 2007, famous for Monkey Gate. During that time also he stood firm with the team.
