Chandra ..

A wizard with a withered hand. His exploits with the ball are well known. Heres some trivia about him :

He is an ardent Mukesh fan. Used to carry his collection on tours. Also mimics Mukesh's voice well and has appeared in Zee TV's Antakshari

He's a relative of Kiran Prakash

He had some temper . Heres a trivia incident. Happened on India's twin tour of NZ n WI in 1976. NZ was notorious before the advent of neutral umpires for their biased umpires. In one of the tests Chandra had quite a few LBW and Caught appeals turned down by an umpire. He finally managed to bowl the batsman neck n crop with one of his unpredictables .. and belted out into a huge appeal
The umpire pointed out that the batsman was bowled. A furious Chandra retorted " I know hez bowled , but is he out ?? "
