I never feared for my life: Chappell

Chappell's nearly two-year association with the Indian team snapped after the side's disastrous World Cup campaign, which saw them make a shocking first round exit.

After the World Cup disaster, Chappell decided not to seek an extension of his contract with the Indian team but the BCCI reportedly offered the former Australian captain a consultant's job at the NCA.

Chappell, meanwhile, asserted that his troubled tenure with the Indian team has not turned him off coaching.

"I don't feel (cheesed off), not at all," said the Australian, who is in Brisbane on a "private family business".

He also criticised the Indian media for exaggerating his medical check-up in Mumbai.

"It was just a minor thing that they obviously made into something bigger," Chappell said.

"The health is fine, there is no drama other than what the media made of it. I just had some tests done to make sure I was in good health to fly and come back to Australia."

Talking about World Cup, Chappell felt with India and Pakistan already out of competition, Ricky Ponting's men looked a clear favourite.

"Australia is my tip," he said.
