Former Australian captain and the most controversial coach Team India has ever had Greg Chappell was in the zone of fire again when Sourav Ganguly said that it was a mistake on his part to appoint Chappell and that he hopes to not mess it this time. “I once had an opportunity to select the coach. I thought I messed it up in 2005. I’m given that opportunity again. Hopefully, we will do it correctly this time. Luckily, I have got support in Sachin, VVS, the BCCI secretary and president. Together we will pick the right person.”
In response to Dada’s comments the Aussie in his column in The Hindu today wrote, “Too often in the past, Indian teams have tried to take short-cuts rather than work hard so any success has been fleeting.”
“If they had been blessed to have been surrounded by other selfless individuals whose only aim was to serve the team, the Indian teams in which they played would have been impossible to beat,” he added
“It was something that I was appointed to change, but it needed key players, not least of all the captain (Ganguly), to buy-in and lead by example. Sadly, this didn’t happen until Dravid was appointed and the next 12 months brought some consistent success because of the change at the top,” Chappell further added.

Twitterati were not too impressed with what the Australian said and fired heavy ammunition at him on Twitter. Here is how Twitter reacted to Greg Chappell’s comments on the Indian team:
He is a big time 'panauti' for Indian cricket. Don't even go to him for asking anything. https://t.co/jJBEURudCH

Whenever I hear or see the name of Greg Chappell reminds me of how he spoiled Irfan Phatan's career. Use to send him as opening batsman.

I don't even like to hear the name of Greg Chappell. He is terrible, what he had done to the Team India in 00s is awfully terrible.
