Chepauk has a glorious history in Tests – India
registered its first Test victory here by defeating England by an
innings and eight runs in 1952
It was only in 1987 that this iconic
venue staged its maiden ODI.That was a heart-stopping duel where Australia snatched a last-gasp
one-run win over India in a league match of the 1987 World Cup
The M.A. Chidambaram Stadium has also been a rewarding venue for another
little master Sunil Gavaskar who went past Don Bradman’s record of 29
centuries with his unbeaten 236 in the Test against West Indies in 1983
Sachi Tendulkar’s Test record in Chepauk is stunning – 970 runs in 10 matches at 88.18.
