“One factor I am unable to perceive is India’s need to return across the wicket the entire time to a left-hander. It simply does not make any sense to me. You converse to all the nice left-handers that I’ve spoken to, and so they say that right-arm over the wicket is the hardest man to face. It is okay each once in a while for a little bit of a change across the wicket,” the 79-year-old stated whereas talking with ESPNCricinfo.
Ian Chappell did not mince his phrases to be important of India.
