Former Australia captain Ian Chappell compared the current Kovid epidemic to a five-day match (Test cricket). He said that it is necessary to have patience and determination to deal with this crisis, as well as some initiative which is one of the key features of a Test cricketer. Chappell cited the impressive innings of Sachin Tendulkar and fellow Australian opener Ian Redpath in support of his point.
The 76-year-old Chappell wrote in one of his columns, "For many citizens around the world, this is the test hour. I have learned that the rules that apply to sportspersons leaving indelible mark in sports are helpful in life. ”He said,“ Citizens of all countries must maintain patience, determination when the Kovid-19 pandemic is wreaking havoc and Some initiative is needed. These are essential characteristics to play Test cricket at a high level. '
Chappell cites the example of Tendulkar's innings played in the Chennai Test against Australia in 1998, where he dominated Shane Warne with his aggressive attitude. He said, 'I have chosen two impressive innings to support my point. The first of these innings was Sachin Tendulkar's 1998 innings played in Chennai. India had won the Test match on the basis of an excellent 155 runs of their second innings, but it would not have been possible without the preparations made by Tendulkar before the series.
