We enjoyed each other's bowling: Chandra on Bedi
Hindustan TimesThe spin quartet of Bishan Singh Bedi, Erapalli Prasanna, BS Chandrasekhar and S Venkataraghavan played just one Test together, against England at Edgbaston in 1967 under Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi's captaincy, but theirs was a bond that went beyond the cricket field. File picture of former Indian captain and legendry spinner Bishan Singh Bedi, who passed away at the age of 77 Bedi's passing at the age of 77 on Monday was met with extreme sadness and shock by Chandrasekhar. He used to say hello and then that's all," Chandra recalled, repeatedly adding that he doesn't remember much of the past. While grainy videos and scant archival footage won’t help the young generation fully understand the nuances of Bedi and the others, they should know that India’s reputation as a land of spin was predominantly forged by the exploits of the quartet.
