Sourav Ganguly - Greg Chappell saga
In May 2005, former Australian captain Greg Chappell was appointed as the coach of the Indian cricket team for a two-year term until the World Cup 2007. His unorthodox cricket coaching methods which included tinkering the batting order often were criticized by the senior players and the fans.
Adding to this, Chapell's rift with captain Sourav Ganguly, which included the Aussie criticising the Indian skipper in public, showing his middle finger to the left-hander inside the team bus, reluctant to listen to the Bengal batsman's ideas etc. eventually led to the skipper facing the axe. This whole saga, the Indian fans would love to remove from their memory.
His tenure ended after India's poor performance in the 2007 World Cup that saw them getting knocked out in the first round.
