Saurav Ganguly, the president of the BCCI, is regarded as one of India's best captains. After a controversy involving match-fixing shook Indian cricket, Ganguly took over as captain. Despite this, Ganguly brilliantly led India during this period of change and led the side to numerous memorable victories during the course of his leadership. Under Ganguly, India won the infamous NatWest series final in 2002, defeated England in the 2001 Test series at home, and advanced to the World Cup final.
The current president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), a former captain of India, claimed that the grounds for his exclusion from the team went beyond his "batting and bowling ability" and were out of his control. He claimed, however, that choosing Chappell as the team's head coach was not a mistake because one cannot predict the outcome of such a choice in advance.
"This is yet another afterthought. One is appointed when one is appointed. If it doesn't work, it won't work moving forward. That is just how life is. Therefore, I don't think it's an error, "Sourav Ganguly stated in a conversation.
Despite being "mad and upset" the entire time he was gone from the team, Ganguly claimed he had to "make a point." He also denied thinking about taking sleeping pills back then.
This is untrue, no. However, I did work extra hard despite my anger and frustration. I was adamant about proving my case and proving myself. Then, I was aware of how much cricket I still had in me. The current BCCI President stated, "I persuaded myself that I would prove myself to the men who matter.
