Chetan Pratap Singh Chauhan (pronunciationⓘ; 21 July 1947 – 16 August 2020) was a cricketer who played 40 Test matches for India.

Chauhan played most of his international cricket in the late 1970s and was the regular opening partner of Sunil Gavaskar during that period.

[4][5] The family moved to Pune in Maharashtra in 1960 where Chauhan's father, an army officer, was transferred.

He scored 103 against South Zone in the Duleep Trophy final against five Test bowlers and was selected to play for India in 1969–70.

Another Duleep trophy hundred early in the next season found him a place in the team to Australia.

Paul Hibbert of Victoria had scored a hundred earlier in the match without a single boundary.

Chauhan returned to the Indian team for the second Test at Perth and hit 88 in his very first innings.

From then he missed only one Test until the end of his career and, except for one occasion, opened with Gavaskar every time.

[15] At Melbourne in the next Test, he scored 85 and added 165 with Gavaskar before the latter was given out lbw to Dennis Lillee.

Gavaskar, the captain, disputed the decision on the way out and ordered Chauhan to leave the field with him.

[22] In July 2020, Chauhan tested positive for COVID-19 during the COVID-19 pandemic in India, and a month later he was placed on a ventilator following multiple organ failure.
