Coronavirus has caused havoc all over the world at this time. School-college, office, sports everything is at a standstill. This epidemic has killed more than 1 lakh people, while more than 17 lakh people are suffering from this disease. Former Australia captain Ian Chappell called restraint very important to combat the disease. He compared the coronavirus to a test match and said that to deal with it, we will need restraint and determination like Sachin Tendulkar and Ian Redpath.

Will have to learn from Sachin: Chappell wrote in his column in ESPN Cricinfo, 'The challenging time of the present is the test of time for many citizens around the world. I have learned that the rules that apply to players who leave indelible mark in sports are helpful in life. 'He said,' When the Kovid-19 epidemic is wreaking havoc, then citizens of all nations need to maintain patience, determination and take some initiative. These are important features for playing Test cricket at a high level. Chappell cites the example of Tendulkar's 1998 innings in the Chennai Test against Australia where he dominated Shane Warne with his aggressive attitude.

Sachin's innings in Chennai Test memorable: Chappell (Ian Chappell) further wrote, 'I have chosen two impressive innings in support of my point. The first of these innings is Sachin Tendulkar's 1998 innings played in Chennai. Hindustan won the Test match on the basis of an excellent 155 runs of their second innings, but the preparations made by Tendulkar before the series would not have been possible without them. Chappell said, "Tendulkar had then asked former Indian all-rounder Ravi Shastri how he can dominate Australia's star leg spinner if Shane Warne bowls round the wicket and bowls in the rough area. '

The great Australian said, 'Shastri's answer was in line with his general understanding. He said that, due to my stature, I used to pitch the ball at the rough position of Warne, but I would not do it. You should adopt an aggressive attitude to play Warne balls made on the footprint. 'He said,' After this advice, Tendulkar exercised in front of such balls of former Indian leg-spinner Laxman Sivaramakrishnan on the MRF nets. Chappell described it as one of Tendulkar's best innings, showing the initiative and commitment of this star batsman. Chappell (Ian Chappell) also referred to Redpath's innings played against the West Indies in Melbourne in 1976. He said, "Combine the restraint of Redpath with Tendulkar's initiative and determination. Then you will have important qualities to survive this dangerous epidemic." '
