00:00Chetan Chauhan was the sort of opening pastman every dressing room silently hopes for, though
00:06few are lucky enough to have.
00:08Grit was his currency and courage his trademark.
00:11Throughout the 1970s and early 1980s, he walked out alongside Sunil Gawaskar to face some
00:18of the most fearsome new ball attacks in the world cricket.
00:22His technique was not textbook, nor was his stroke play the most graceful.
00:27But what he lacked in flair, he more than compensated for his sheer resilience.
00:32Chetan Chauhan was a bestman who refused to be hurried, bullied, or worn down.
00:37Ball after ball, session after session, he stood tall, getting behind the line with unwavering
00:44discipline.
00:45So let's watch Chetan Chauhan batting against Pakistan in the second test at Delhi in December
00:501979.
00:51One more for Chetan Chauhan.
00:52One more for Chetan Chauhan.
00:565th in Germans – three left was a huge series long shot of India inじゃあ.
00:57Very important knock to India.
00:58That is 1929 politicsalf one of responsibility, great deal of distractions there.
00:59Good team among the runs.
01:00Good head to 2,2 for Fritz Dingall as Rab commission, Rajas Alex badly beat the square
01:18leg, good running behind the wickets.
01:19One more to Han, one more to India, 72 for one.
01:2573 for one.
01:29That's a good view of Han.
01:34And India at the end of backover, 81 for one.
01:38And these two have now added 40 for one for the second wing.
01:55Private to continue from the civilian end to Han.
02:03Short and very well filled with Baraja.
02:06He won't be able to cut out the single, but he has certainly saved the four.
02:15India, 82 for one.
02:22To ordinate, tries to cut and messes.
02:29And Cho Han really loves to cut the ball going outside the outskirts.
02:37As India goes to 83 for one.
02:51Enough spinners that we have seen in this net.
02:54Only Jochi has been able to spin the ball enough to weigh the back.
02:58Enough to weigh the back.
02:59Enough to weigh the back.
03:08Neither Kada nor Kval Katsun.
03:13Finding anything in it for the general.
03:16That's a good spinners.
03:25That's the good spinners that you can do.
03:26Like Cho Han.
03:2834, 35 inches.
03:31Ventura in fact, 32.
03:34And that's very cute.
03:49And I work with that 2-1, the 50th apartment.
03:56At this time, there's a 50th apartment.
03:58No one.
04:04The parking ship event starts in 4-1.
04:09Realize 51-1.
04:29The agent's at 1-1.
04:354-1.
04:38Off a thick outside edge.
04:43And then Saka goes up to 26.
04:46India 92-1.
04:53After a period of dull cricket,
04:55we have the other end quite unmoved.
04:5792-1 India.
04:59Requiring 390 to win this match.
05:01Nine wickets in hand.
05:03And Chohan, very impatient to get a single.
05:06Very wisely sent back.
05:07Once again by Rangkata.
05:08Skip down for India.
05:09And there is the action replay.
05:10The 100 bucks, once again strike.
05:11And Chohan,
05:12two wickets down for 92.
05:13And there is the action replay.
05:14The 100 bucks, once again strike.
05:15Chohan.
05:16Two wickets down for 92.
05:17And there is the action replay.
05:18And Chohan,
05:19two wickets down for 92.
05:20He crossed 40 test matches between 1969 and 1981.
05:41His presence at the top offered India a backbone of patience and fight.
05:47Though he never reached the landmark of a Test 100,
05:50he crossed 2,000 runs.
05:52Becoming the first cricketer to achieve that tally without raising his bat for a century.
05:58A statistics that reflects both his consistency and the heart, often selfless nature of his role.
06:04His legacy remained one of the toughness and commitment to the team cause.
06:08In August 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the cricket world bid farewell to Chetan Chohan as he passed away due to complications from the disease.
06:19Yet the memory of the man who wore grit on his sleeve and defiance in his turns continues to stand found on cricket timeline.
