Indian cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar has indicated that his former opening partner Chetan Chauhan who passed away due to COVID-19 recently, was under the impression that he didn-t support him enough to avoid the axe in 1981-82."

Chauhan, who scored a more-than-useful 85 against Australia at Melbourne, where India squared the 1980-81 series, was dropped after just one series in New Zealand. In the second Test at Adelaide, Chauhan missed a century by three runs.
