The Sourav Ganguly vs. Greg Chappell saga is one of the most infamous chapters in Indian cricket. It began in 2005 when Greg Chappell was appointed head coach of the Indian cricket team, succeeding John Wright. Sourav Ganguly, the then captain of the Indian team, initially supported Chappell’s appointment, but the relationship between the two soon soured.
The conflict started when Chappell allegedly expressed concerns over Ganguly’s form and fitness, recommending his exclusion from the team. This led to a public spat between the coach and captain, with Ganguly accusing Chappell of plotting against him. Ganguly revealed in a press conference that Chappell had asked him to step down as captain before a key Test match, sparking widespread media attention. This revelation set off a chain of events that would divide Indian cricket fans and players alike.
As tensions escalated, Ganguly was eventually dropped from the team, losing both his captaincy and his place in the playing XI. This decision triggered a national debate, with many accusing Chappell of undermining one of India’s most successful captains. The Indian team’s performance during Chappell’s tenure was erratic, with early exits in major tournaments, including the 2007 World Cup, leading to widespread criticism of Chappell’s coaching methods.
Ganguly, however, made a strong comeback in 2006, regaining his place in the team and proving his resilience. Chappell, on the other hand, left his position as coach in 2007 amidst growing dissatisfaction.
The Ganguly-Chappell saga remains a significant moment in Indian cricket history, symbolizing the clash of egos and the struggle for power between a coach and a captain, with lasting impacts on the team and its leadership.

Nehra is such a overrated baller
Who knows…if he was given a free hand he would have transformed india to a far stronger side than what we are today…
Rahul Dravid was a mute spectator…probably he was enjoying as he got captaincy for those 3 years…
It was Khangress who hired greg chappel via motu shukla
Chappel ne sahi bola tha
Vikrant bhai apko bat pakdana aata hai kya bas din bhar gyan dete rehte ho
काफी हद तक सही भी कहा लेकिन कैंसर शब्द उपयुक्त नहीं था। उस टाइम ऐसा लगता था किसी नए प्लेयर को मौका ही नहीं मिलेगा, जैसे आज के दौर में मिल रहा है। सहमत हो toh लाइक करें।।😅

Greg chappel thought it's Australia, they didn't realize that it's India, here individual is greater than sport. Individual record matters, he should not have tried that.
No 6 anil kumble must be
Yes as he forgets that indian Cricketers are God

Chappell was right ✅️
And Greg never was able to coach again When you criticize God.
6th name tumhara hi rha hoga isliye nahi bta rahe😂
Greg Chappel had one problem only , he didn't realize how indian cricketer considered themselves god , in real life also , as Australians were down to earth in real life but consider themselves as god in field
And dhoni removed 5 of the 6 cancer , immediately after 2011 world cup , bcoz he also saw what greg chappel saws but abuses r gotten by greg only 😂😂
