Tendulkar-Ganguly played some best fast-bowling combinations: Ian Chappell

Melbourne, Dec 22: Declining to compare the batting duo of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli with former India captains Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly, former Australia captain Ian Chappell has said that the latter pair played some of the best fast bowlers during their time.

"In fact, an argument could be mounted that Kohli and Sharma are India's best ever one-day batsmen. The obvious challengers would be the feted combination of Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly, who tormented international bowlers for 15 years. They spent the bulk of that time opening together and they did so against some of the best fast-bowling combinations," Ian Chappell wrote in his column for 'ESPNcricinfo'.
