Chandu Borde made his debut for India towards the end of 1958, against the touring West Indian side. He qualified his merit as a talented test cricketer by scoring 109 and 96 in the series. Since then Chandu Borde's test career took up a steep ascent. His position in the Indian side rose to that of an indispensable allrounder.
Chandu Borde's worth as a cricketer made itself show when he was the only Indian cricketer selected to represent India in the Rest of the World team against Barbados in 1967.
A bowler of no mean talent, Chandu Borde could fox any clever batsman with his wily legspin. Unfortunately, a shoulder injury in 1964 put an early end to his bowling ambitions.
Chandu Borde contributed his share in breaking the myth that Indians were susceptible to playing quick bowling. He was one of the finest players of pace and played the feared quickies like Mckenzie, Hall and Griffith with ease.
After a string of inconsistent performances in the latter half of his career, Chandu Borde took a bow from international cricket. However, his amiable presence was not missed for long as he joined as the manager of the touring teams.
