Notes

• Chauhan is not the first Test cricketer to complete 2000 runs without a century. The first was South Africa's Trevor Goddard, when he reached 22 in the second innings against England at Johannesburg in 1964-65. But Goddard extended the same innings to 112. As of November 6, 2005, the batsmen who have scored more than 2000 runs in Tests and never scored a hundred are Shane Warne (2826), Chaminda Vaas (2162) and Chauhan (2084). Goddard (2516 with one hundred) and Alistair Campbell (2858 with two hundreds) reached their first hundred after scoring more than 2000 runs.

• Chauhan had 11 century stands with Gavaskar but one of them was for the fourth wicket. At Bombay against the West Indies in 1978-79 they opened together, but Chauhan retired early in the innings and came back at the fall of the third wicket.[2]

• The Who's who section of Indian Cricket usually records Chauhan's complete name as Chetan Pratap Singh Navratan Singh Chauhan.
