The former Indian opener Chetan Chauhan passed away. Chetan Chouhan who is also a Cabinet Minister in Uttar Pradesh government, was admitted at the Sanjay Gandhi PGI Hospital in Lucknow after testing COVID-19 positive on July 12. The health condition has worsened after he developed multi-organ failure and he is now on ventilator support at a medical facility in Gurugram. His condition did not improve and after other complications developed, he was shifted to Medanta in Gurugram. He is 73-year-old.
Chauhan, who had played 40 Tests for India, had been legendary Sunil Gavaskar’s longest serving opening partner. He has served the Delhi & Districts Cricket Association (DDCA) in various positions — president, vice-president, secretary and chief selector — apart from being manager of the Indian Team during their tour of Australia.
Shri Chetan Chauhan Ji distinguished himself as a wonderful cricketer and later as a diligent political leader. He made effective contributions to public service and strengthening the BJP in UP. Anguished by his passing away. Condolences to his family and supporters. Om Shanti.
