opportunity to play for "City Cricketers" in an
interview, Chandrasekhar stated that he joined
up mainly to get a chance to play with the
leather ball. While playing on the streets of
Bangalore, he had mainly used a rubber ball.
While playing for the club, Chandrasekhar
tried different bowling styles that also
included fast bowling. It was in 1963 that he decided to play as a
leg spin bowler. His idea proved to be right as he was soon
selected for the national side.

Making his Test debut for India against England at Bombay in

1964, he collected four wickets in the match. Same year, he was

named as the Cricketer of the

Year. Chandrasekhar was

inuential in setting up India's

rst victory in England when he

picked up six wickets for 38

runs at The Oval in 1971; the

bowling was named the "Indian

Bowling performance of the

century" by Wisden in 2002.

Wisden noted that, "Chandrasekhar was wonderfully accurate for ROARING INDIA CRICKET 70s-80s
a bowler of his type, and his extra pace made him a formidable
proposition even on the sluggish Oval pitch". His consistent
bowling performances in 1971 earned him being named one of the
ve Wisden Cricketers of the Year in 1972.

In a Test against New Zealand in 1976, Chandrasekhar and
Prasanna took 19 wickets and were crucial in setting up India's
win. Attributed to him is a famous umpire-directed quote, made
during a day of bad decisions in New Zealand after several of his
lbw appeals were given not out: "I know he is bowled, but is he
out?" Chandrasekhar also played a major role in India's victory in
Australia in 1977–78.

Chandrasekhar had minimal batting skills, nishing with a Test
average of 4.07. He was given a special Gray-Nicholls bat during
the 1977-78 Australian tour with a hole in it to commemorate the
four ducks he scored, and he has 23 Test ducks to his credit. He
also holds the dubious distinction of scoring fewer runs (167) off
his bat than wickets (242) taken in Test cricket; the only other
cricketer with this distinction over a signicant Test career is
New Zealand fast bowler Chris Martin.
