After a tumultuous two-year stint that had more drama in it than a Bollywood potboiler, Chappell continues to polarise the cricket populace, which is in two minds, wondering whether to hail the Australian as a saint or hang him as the sinner.

And even after he left the job, Chappell remains a belligerent personality, a rabble-rouser, and his recent claims of being subjected to racial attacks subsequent playing down of the remark notwithstanding -- further bolstered this image.

Accordingly, his presence on Sunday's match guarantees him his fair share of the media attention.

"He's here in the city and of course he would watch the match," Rajasthan Cricket Association (RCA) spokesperson Anant Vyas said.

Away from the hue and cry, Chappell seems to have come to terms with his new life and role at RCA's Future Cricket Academy, where the Australian is helping 20-odd boys imbibe ruthless professionalism, something he wanted to instill among the members of the Indian team.
