5 times when Sourav Ganguly showed he is the real boss

Asking Pommie Mbangwa to go away

In 2002, in the first match of the ODI series against Zimbabwe in Faridabad, the hosts were cruising towards a win when Douglas Marillier showed his skills and threatened to take the game away from India.

Extra cover: Sourav Ganguly shows his aggressive side as he instructs waterboy Pommie Mbangwa to leave the field

With Zimbabwe needing just 5 runs to win from 4 balls with one wicket in hand, substitute Pommie Mbangwa came onto the field carrying drinks and some advice from the coaching staff back in the dressing room. Mbangwa was seen murmuring something to his teammates even before he handed them the water bottle and after seeing the former Zimbabwean player run to his batsmen, Ganguly, who was fielding at cover, became furious and ordered him to leave the field.

It was later revealed that the scorecard was displaying the wrong target and that was the reason why Mbangwa had come on to the field to convey the error to the batsmen.
