5 instances when Sourav Ganguly owned the commentary box

In a livid response to Rajdeep Sardesai on Greg Chappell

“If he (Chappell) is hearing this on TV, he dare not call Sourav Ganguly.”

Although this didn’t happen in the confines of a commentary box, one simply cannot miss out on Greg Chappell when talking of Dada’s on-spot replies.

The Ganguly-Chappell spat is one of the ugliest ones in cricket. Even Sachin Tendulkar in his autobiography criticized the Australian and penned about the harm he inflicted to Indian cricket. Following the launch of Playing It My Way, the Chappell subject was brought up by journalist Rajdeep Sardesai in a question to Ganguly.

Rajdeep Sardesai: “Does Greg Chappell owe an apology to Indian cricket? To Sachin Tendulkar, to Sourav Ganguly, to Dravid?”

Sourav Ganguly: “He can call up Tendulkar or Dravid. But he dare not dial my number. If he is hearing this on TV, he dare not call Sourav Ganguly.”

Clearly, don’t mess with the God of offside, on or off the field.
