Top 5 controversies in the history of Indian Cricket

#4 Greg Chappell Vs Sourav Ganguly - 2005 to 2007

The most disheartening image for an Indian Cricket fan; clicked after India's exit from the 2007 World cup

Greg Chappell’s two-year consignment from 2005 to 2007 was warped by several controversies, including the infamous public spat with then skipper Sourav Ganguly. It all started during India’s tour of Zimbabwe in 2005. Chappell’s inclination to drop Ganguly from the Test side did not go well with then Indian Captain. The gap widened when the leaked email from Chappell revealed the coach’s resentment towards the Indian captain.

Soon after the tour, the selectors sacked Ganguly as the captain citing his mediocre performance. They dropped Ganguly from the ODI side too. Dropping the left-hander didn’t go well with the Indian fans as the Kolkata crowd supported the South African Cricket team during an ODI against the Dravid-led Indian side.

Chappell’s infamous coaching stint came to an end after India's exit from the 2007 World Cup in the group stage.
