Biography Of BS Chandrasekhar- India's Biggest Spinner In Overseas
A right wrist withered by polio was converted into a weapon that struck fear in the hearts of batsmen across the world. Bhagwat Subramanya Chandrasekhar (informally Chandra) was a rare jewel and was for long India's biggest match-winner overseas. The leg-spinner along with Prasanna, Bishen Singh Bedi and Venkataraghavan constituted the Indian spin quartet that dominated spin bowling during the 1960s and 1970s.
Chandrasekhar was born in 1945 in Mysore, where he had his primary education. He developed an early interest in cricket watching the playing style of Australian leg spinner Richie Benaud. An attack of polio at the age of six left his right arm withered. At the age of 10, his hand had recovered and Chandrasekhar started playing cricket.
