Bhagwat Chandrasekhar

Bhagwat Chandrasekhar (born 1945) is a former Indian cricketer, more specifically a leg spin bowler. He is sometimes referred to as 'Chandra'.

Overcoming a polio attack which withered his wrist as a child, Chandrasekhar took 242 Test wickets. He often bowled at medium pace, often using his leg break, googly and flipper to good effect. He considers Englishman Ken Barrington the hardest to bowl to.

On the other side of the coin, Chandrasekhar was an incredibly inept batsman, finishing with an average of 4 and the highest percentage of ducks in Test history. He was given a special Gray-Nicolls bat during the 1977-78 Australian tour with a hole in it to commemorate the four ducks he scored.
