- Greg Chappell - The Coach
and the years spent under him are seen as the darkest period of Indian cricket.
& the start of that fall begun with the Sourav Ganguly Captaincy Controversy.
IN a matter of months
emails were sent
allegations were levied
and the captain was thrown out
in the political turmoil that followed
Dada kept on trying his hardest to get back into the Indian team
but Greg Chappell and the BCCI seemed adamant on keeping him out
barring him in spite of a good performance in Pakistan he was made to sit out
and then Pepsi that was caught up in pesticide controversy came up with an idea for an advertisement
after having success after success with campaigns like dil mange more and oye bubli Pepsi was counting on Dada to change there legacy.
even departing from there new icon Rahul Dravid in doing so
and after the ad aired...after the group stage exit n the DLF cup and champions cup 2006.... India was standing on the verge of a whitewash in South Africa
what followed was such public well of anger and disappointment that went onto give Dada a chance for comeback...and propelled him into the team to reconstruct his legacy
Dada who was given a new lease on life by one advertisement that he didn't want to do
refused to do - was forced to do
It went on to change his career, his future his legacy in Indian and world cricket.

And then, he retired while he was at the form of his life and making sure that people remember him as a legend of World Cricket. Hell of a comeback story.
well said mate. He truly deserves the recognition.
He is a legend but he was not in his prime form when he retired.
Not in his prime, but surely good form.
@@aamir8965 yes in 1998-2000 dada was god level
He is a legend but he retired because he was not in his form
"We want GANGULY"
Gave me absolute goosebumps!!!
Yesss..
I had tears
Shut up
but the high pitch in their voices was funny🤣
Same here!!!
I loved Sachin from the first match I watched. At that time, I was annoyed by savrav's slow batting. But boy did that change overtime. Ganguly was a hero who stood beside good and ended with the better story to tell and remember. Sachin was white as gold while Ganguly was a million shades of all colors
I loved your English above all facts you mentioned!
Well said, echoed my emotions, my thoughts. Sachin's ardent fan but couldn't help but love Sourav. Being a fighter he is, forced his way into millions of hearts.
But gold isnt white????🤔
Don't compare Sachin and Ganguly. Ganguly is not even close to Sachin. You can compare Dravid and Ganguly.
@@mein3324 Do u know cricket?
I still remember being happy about Gangulys century on return, despite being a Pakistani
I remember Dada getting a lot of support from the then Pakistan cricket team and the Pakistani legends likewise... thanks a lot to you bhaijaan and all our Pakistani brothers who had shown support for Dada when he was in a state of turmoil..
That was somewhat similar to Sarfaraz Ahmed's return vs NZ & his century.
The pinnacle moment of his 2007 come back was his maiden Test century against Pakistan at Eden Gardens in front of his home crowd. Being from Kolkata I can tell u the entire city had done berserk to see their Prince scoring a century in front of them.. while he was written off just few months back.
And the very next match he went on to score a fine 200 and his highest test score too at bengluru against same pakistan rescuing india from 60/4 to more than 300
Oh man this was lovely and i wish I was there
@@kritiray8094 300 run partnership with Yuvraj Singh. That was epic!
@@kritiray8094 I was there in stadium watching Dada killing all the bowlers. The entire stadium was chanting Dada's name. Dada till today is my favorite player of my life.
@@umamaheshwari56 ok bro surely will do that tonight
Thats why we find similarities of Rahane with Dravid, Kohli with Sachin, Prithvi with Viru, but Dada is the only of this his kind. A living legend and true warrior
Smriti Mandhana bats the way Dada used to bat.
Prithvi for Viru?, no way.
If not among Indians....surprising comparisons of legends in those era:-
1) India Sourav, SriLanka Sanath, Pak Anwar, Aus Gilchrist, SA Klusener and unshined Jacques Rudolph who didn't survive for long, NZ Stephen Fleming, Trescothick Eng, WI C Gayle. Only defective piece is Stephen Fleming who always played well Vs Ind and poor against other opponents and can't be compared much and also has poor conversion rates than all listed here but in a charity odi match post 2002 or 2004 I can't forget his quickfire 106 with 9*6 when he batted like a combo of Sourav Ganguly+Sanath Jayasuriya+Chris Gayle+Lance Klusener in one such match till today his that 106 is available in TH-cam highlights.
2) India Sachin, SriLanka but lefthander Sanath here, NZ Nathan Astle righthander, Windies Brian Lara lefthander, Andy Flower Zom lefthander
3) India R.Dravid, SriLanka Atapattu but still lower standard, Pak Yousuf Youhana/Md Yousuf who is little more aggressive than these 2, Windies Ramnaresh Sarwan, Zim Grant Flower, SA Jacques Kallis but can bowl regularly, Zim later stage Tatenda Taibu
4) Ind VVS Laxman, SL Mahela, Pak Younis Khan
5) Older generations Ind Azhar, Aus had 2 Azhars they are Waugh brothers in same team, Ind had lefthander Robin Singh also
6) Ind Sehwag, RSA Gibbs, AUS Ponting
7) Ind Yuvraj, AUS Bevan, RSA Jacques Rudolph less opportunities and didn't shine much, less shining for same Ian Blackwell Eng all these are Yuvraj category batsmen
Some of these players have similar style of cricket across the globe.
8) Ind Ajay Jadeja, SL Upul Chandana, Pak Moin Khan, NZ Chris Cairns....this Cairns I d I o t also usually bats only well Vs against Ind had 4 odi 100s Vs Ind
9) Ind Robin Singh, NZ Chris Harris
Compensating innings:-
1) Sourav had few ODI 100s Vs SL, Sanath had 8 Vs Ind, Sachin had 8 Vs SL
2) Sachin had 8 100s Vs Aus, R Ponting had 8 100s Vs India
Can't edit there....Tatenda Taibu...a mistype in Rahul Dravid category....he falls under Sachin type category only
Nobody can deny that dada was the only captain under whose leadership India discovered aggression in its game.... He maintained a good balance of experience players and youngsters within team...
Believe it or not...DADA is ARCHITECTURE of INDIAN Cricket Team...❤
oh i never knew,,indians smashed australinas effortlessly during sunny days..this is nonsense ..he is not architect...any country domestic setup is the foundation
I do...
Dada is Architect. Not Architecture
Dada is Architect. Not Architecture
Greg Chappal was the coach who came not to make Indian Team, but to Break it.
Year 1999 became a dada fan.The year I changed to left hand batting from Right. I am a left hander now. My Idol ❤Dada❤
Same here WC time and he will be favourite forever
YOU HAVE CHANGED YOUR BATTING PREFERENCES AT 1999 AND U ARE A LEFTY NOW??? U are too old for cricket Bhai..
@@Musiconly5934 age is just a number,we can play cricket as long as we are alive and doesn't matter what level, cricket is always love

@@sudhirchoudhary4823 so true. ..didn't try to mock anyone..Just joking around..Even being 29yrw old i still play football each and everyday with some professional football players in my locality..Much 💘
Dada rocks🔥! No other indian captain has mentored and groomed as many star players as dada did .Bhajji, shehwag, zaheer, yuvi all owe their career to dada! Outstanding leader! Best in the world
Even dhoni
yes ...and rohit, kohli, dhawan, raina, jadeja, ashwin, owe thier career to dhoni.....
@@jeyaprakashps1986 to be fair dhoni was created by dada.
The greatest Dhoni bhul gaye
Rahul Dravid, then dada.
Harbhajan stood up for dada and was given the notice.Kiran more was the selector who said that Ganguly should not have high hope for a comeback while the present set of selectors were there
Honestly Kiran more takes credit for dhoni entry in team but not for Ganguly or wc 2007 debacle.When he talks about selection he says that people he and his team chose were great for the wc2011,which is partially true,but he has to take responsibility for the Indian defeat in 2007 wc.According to him Greg chapell also played a part in starting the process along with John wright which ended with India's wc win in 2011 under Gary Kirsten
@@fluffyoctopus4785 but Dhoni's captaincy promotion alongwith gangulys comeback to test team was decided by col dilip vengsarkar ..Kiran more by then had done the damage by then and left just like msk during wc 19
@@kritiray8094 exactly,he doesn't take any accountability for his(more) team' s mistakes but takes credit all the time.When asked about Ganguly,he said good players like him can make comebacks all the time.Yes they can make comeback ,but only if you allow them back in the team.He and his bunch of selectors follow the saying success has many father's but failure is an orphan
@@fluffyoctopus4785 extremely well said...brother in fact the real transition of indian cricket team.under msd / kirsten only started after 2007 debacle and things cauld have been really bad if more and co had continued to be the selectors instead of col vengsarkar and later kris srikanth ...infact.you can very well see brother how poor and non cofident decisions by msk ruined indias team composition and chnces in wc 2019
I feel pity for the Kohli fanboys who blame Ganguly on Kohli's failure. They have no idea what Dada had to go through when all odds were against him.
Those abusive fan boys are created by genuine comments like this by an unbiased gentleman
But if Ganguly knows the pain, he actually should have supported others going through same thing, he could have at least support Kohli verbally..
Same way Ganguly fanboys blame Chappel and Dravid for removing him
@@arjunp9100 are you living under a rock? Ganguly has supported Kohli verbally on multiple occasions...even few weeks back in an interview that Dada gave to ANI he said that "look at Kohli's numbers...he is a great player...he will be back in form...it happens to everyone."
Remeber BCCI also supported Kohli when he wanted to replace Kumble with Ravi Shastri as coach. Dada did not get this support regarding coach during his time.
And also don't forget that Kohli will never be dropped from upcoming Asia Cup and World Cup team no matter his performance. This previlage only applies to Kohli.
What more support do you want? No player has got this much support in the entire history of cricket!
what Chappell did to him, he did to Kohli, removing Kohli from test captaincy like that was a huge mistake and we will suffer for this, just wait till next overseas tour. we already got a hint in England test, how Rohit and Dravid went for a defensive approach against attacking Bairstow.
@@WSTRNS Kohli himself gave up test captaincy after failure to win test series in South Africa...and no both incidents cannot be compared as Kohli was never dropped....look at his test batting average in 2020 and 2021 when he was still captain....just pathetic...stop giving excuses
Holy shit as a Dada fan (for life), this gave me sheer goosebumps. It was a tough time back then but our boy made one of the best comebacks ever and retired on the highest of notes.
I still felt sorrow during his last test made 85 Vs mighty AUS and lbw 0(1) off Jason Kreja a waste spinner of Aus, he must have scored a ton in that 2nd innings lot of time is there, his 85 in that last test and one of the before tests also made an 85 IVs Aus I think.......but he still should have played till Sachin continued here and Sanath lucky to get many chances although promising youngsters came in their team.....Sourav I wish must have had a test career till 2011 atleast and odi career somehow till 2010. It is because MSD got captwincy awarded and by that time Ind is studded with talentful players......had Sourav been continued till 2010 and he was in captaincy , I hope Ind would have reaped much more benefits.....if he was there till 2010 the Odi team would have read a MY IDEAL 11 as Sourav, Sachin, Uthappa, Sehwag, Yuvraj, Raina, Dhoni, Irfan Pathan, Harbhajan, Zaheer,
Shami/Bhuvi/Munaf/L Balaji as 11th (removing Dravid, VVS after 2007WC completely).....giving youngsters a chance during that time apart from Yuvi, Viru, MSD is not a good thought and could have limited places to these players mostly....Post 2011 WC Sourav, Sachin, Dravid, VVS retiring at a time WOULD HAVE BEEN LOOKED AWESOME....Then would have welcomed PLAYING 11 of
Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli, Sehwag ,Yuvi, Dhoni, Raina, Amit Misra, Shami, Zaheer, Praveen Kumar......After 2019WC Sehwag, Yuvi, Dhoni, Raina, Misra must have been replaced.......I feel phasewise replacement of no players was also not taken care of properly, disrespected seniors from BCCI without proper farewell including seniors listed above .....one more problem is the outburst of T20 cricket saw many pool of players inpour ..
Guys, just read his autobiography, you'll understand what kind of fighter the Dada is !! 🔥
Name?
@@nhrahat188 *A Century is Not Enough*
hes someone who is destroying kings career chears
@@rohanbhattacharjya7564 Who's destroying who's career? Tbh I don't understand the politics between BCCI (Ganguly) and Kohli and don't want to. I look at results and the results say that Kohli has not performed upto the mark for a long time and facing the heat for it
@@krishnasanyal7 , yeah totally agreed. And also, Dada doesn't sit there to select so called 'king'. If anyone to blame then it can be selectors and MUST be Chokli's performance
He is my childhood superhero and an emblem of fighting spirit whenever life drags me down... I'm an ardent fan of DADA and I thank you from bottom of my heart to bring those moments of fighting back of DADA alive again by composing this documentary 💙 ❤️ ♥️
I was watching his comeback inning from the road in a book shop near my coaching centre..bought two three books n pens to make sure I stay there..now m doctor n I miss those days n dada’a batting
I clearly remember those times. We all rooted for one person. Our Dada ❤️
Still remember the ad and the pain we felt...Marketing team was indeed genius I must say... Saved a Company and a Career in one shot !
Another brilliant video. As someone younger and more aware of the newer era of Cricket, hearing stories like these are truly remarkable! Thanks Bhai!
I love the way you narrate. Thank you sir for your content. Todays generation will never understand the emotion of Dada and the Indian cricket team at that time.
Yesss..
Make one on Eoin Morgan please on how he changed the way players and team approach white ball cricket!
Agreed with this!
Yes please! and then if time allows ... One of THE GREAT Suresh Raina, who changed (IMHO) Indian cricket.
@@adin7474 Raina was great but how changed Indian cricket?
I’m actually not aware of this, how did Eoin Morgan change that?
@@noname-jd2vo that's y we need a video on it😁😁😉😉
Have no idea why a coach was given so much power ,even after All this years.But it made for a remarkable never give up story for us to be inspired from.
ANANYA BANERJEE for that you have to remember who was the bcci president and what were his monumental ideas back then in 2005-07 phase?
its funny how they blamed losing matches to fringe teams on the coach, pinned him down for absolutely no reason, im sure the whole chappell was just a makeup story to cover up the loss and he was made the scapegoat
@@Krishna2495 that proves either u have not watched matches of that era or you are merely assessing through stats...get a life man and learn to accept the truth...
@@kritiray8094 he maybe an ipl kid who started watching cricket recently
@@manik6621 exactly...they and their overconfidence never fades away!!
The more I see you, the more I love you, Cricket, and Dada ❤️ well done man!
A master of comebacks! People forget his 1st comeback was actually in 1996 when selectors were looking for an opportunity to throw him out again
He made 2 back to back centuries in debut
He might not be technically sound might not be India’s or worlds best but he was the boldest ever!!
Yes. I watched that match. Thankfully my parents are love to watch Cricket that's why I never missed any single game of legendary era of Cricket ( both test and ODI ) .
he may not be world's best but he surely is one of the best
His story is an inspiration ❤️ ✨️. Comeback king 🤴. He had to play lot of domestic matchs, when he was not sure if he can make a comeback. To do all this, with his status is unbelievable 🤩👏. Love you Dada 😍 ❤️ 💙
Kohli really inherited a peaceful kingdom haha. The contribution of Ganguly-Dravid era was very crucial. Dhoni is also very important,he didn't let that effort die and took it to new heights.
Came to know about this Ad from Captain Steel India Conversation video with Sourav Ganguly and Harbhajan Singh.. Thanks for bringing up the other details as well
I was born in 1997 and was too small to understand...but aftering watching this video...i can understand how much difficult it must have been for Dada
At this point of his life, The Prince became the King.
The intent that Dada had no cricketer will ever have
Even just 1 year back, Dada in a chat with Vikrant Gupta told that he hates that ad....I was wondering why? Now I will finally know thanks to this video...
Forever a proud Ganguly Fan!!!
A dada fan for life. This is my favourite telling of his comeback so far. Very well made. 👍🏼
I was a kid when I watched this drama unfold, never really understood the intricacies of the situation. I’m glad I came across this channel. Thanks, boss!🙏
I don’t care what people say. Had he been the captain in 2007, I think we’d have the chance in that World Cup especially with the team he had created and after the experience of the 2003 World Cup final.
I still remember dada scored 7 50s in 11 ODIs.. What a come back!!!
Goosebumps 🔥🔥🔥 Being a dada fan - this was very emotional for me . Brilliantly covered 😍 He will always be King of comebacks 🔥
Yet another fantastic video brother! Thanks for your research and wonderful narration
I remembered a guy called 'biranchi' from Odisha who slapped Greg Chappell over dada issue after IND vs NZ Cuttuck One day.
An excellent video. Thank you. He taught to fight back. Salute to Dada and his skills. He basically made Indians believe we can compete with any team.
I would love if virat comes back this way in the upcoming Asia Cup
Mee too 🤞
Yeah surely
Virat is his own nemesis. He ain't coming back.
@@ayanroy6155 true but a glimpse of hope is still their
And he Did...
U made my day even better. Hope you get everything you deserve.
This guy gives goosebumps to every true Indian cricket fan ❤️❤️❤️ thank you for everything Dada - since 99 you have the biggest contribution to Indian cricket
Great content..... Superbly written.... Well done
brother you are doing a great work, keep it up, love from nepal........
I remember when the ad first aired.... When dada said main Saurav Ganguly, bhule toh nahi.... I had tears in my eyes.
And now He is the complete BOSS of Indian Cricket. If this is not the greatest comeback story ever, I dont know what is
Great work! You could make a video on the fall out with John Buchanan as well!
Thats's a tasty topic
Beautifully narrated. You are just so good in your storytelling.
Great video, great..... I was having goosebumps while watching !!
tell how you get these contents amazing didn't know so much about that Ad
I remember he went to play for Glamorgan in the English County, scoring a big century on a fast seaming track...that would have seemed like a career ending move for most, choosing county over domestic flat tracks for making a comeback. Dada scored heavily in the domestic circuit as well.
I remember him playing in domestic tournaments one hadn't much heard of.. his quest for his comeback was really enthralling and so motivating and inspirational 👏 💖
Why does it sound like history is gonna repeat again 🙃🙃🙃 this time with another aggressive captain, Kohli
Well I hope and would love to see that he proves himself similarly as well but IMHO and TBH this seems to be impossible currently
@@krishnasanyal7 🗿
This so beautifully written and edited! Amazing work🙌
Dada scoring relentlessly after his comebacks.Making a thunderous comeback in 1996 then in 2006-07.Believe me its next to impossible to made such kind of comebacks at the international level.The standards are damn high the Bowlers,teams all knows your weaknesses thats why apart from Dada i have never seen an international player making a great Combacks twice in his life like a champion. Surely he is Comback King.
I was right hand batsman till Ganguly retired. After I heard he is retiring, I was so sad. So I changed as a left hand batsman to get him in my head every time I took my bat.
But, the most attacking I ever played, most easy looking shots I ever played, the longest six I hit, most off side score etc… came when I changed to left hand. I loved that man that much.
That energy in the “shirt off” moment at Lord’s is what I get whenever I take my bat.
your narration your voice just too good brother keep rocking
Respect!... Will always be your fan and keep wishing you stay out of politics and political parties...
Thank you for bringing up this topic
For every 90s and early 2000s kids, this entire episode was an inspiration to fight back and leave on a high... 🔥
what an absorbing script....tart, crisp, punching comments with plethora of passion, respect & remembrance ❤️🙏
Oh! I loved this video!! This is outstanding work 👍 keep it up!
Thanks a lot brother😁
M S Dhoni is the most successful Captain of India. Saurav Ganguly is the best Captain of India.
Nicely put brother
One thing that Dada can never be is Selfish. He was probably the only Indian captain who was selfless enough to gamble his own position as captain to select players that the team needed and not necessarily what the selectors wanted. Under him India played like a united country revolving around his team with the dream of becoming the best.
Taking nothing away from Dhoni's immense contribution but if you ask any Indian fans who grew up watching Dada and his team, there's only one captain that led India like a true Lionheart.
High class video again, can you pls make a video on eoin morgan and how he transformed english cricket, that would be interesting
Great video bud! that dravid ad was indeed iconic! he was the silent pillar that you knew you could always count on as a teammate and a fan.
Bro your narration skills are just God level op Bro. Already subscribed you. Big fan of yours
Thans for the compliments brother.
Awesome video, awesome narration.
The struggles which this man faced can never be compared with any of the other captain's..
Dhoni, Kohli they all are tigers, are stronger .They are aggressive but has a limit. Always avoid unwanted fights bcoz they were scared of their prestige, position, fame, even life......But Dada.. He was a Lion🦁.The fearless 🔥The one who protects and fight and even die for his pride.Indian national team was his pride. He is the only one who redesigned the indian team 💪Salute to The indian cricket's Michaelangelo🔥
Thanks Boria da.. your narration just rocks...
Wonderful video, extremely insightful thank u for this
Thank you brother😊
You rock 👍 i like your story telling bro..
Keep it up.
You’re work is gold. Please keep up the good work.
Not only the story was really inspiring but The way you presented was quite entertaining. Loved it
Big fan of ur videos bro.....my request is that can u add English subtitles to ur hindi videos as well
Feeling goosebumps.nice work.🙏
Lovely way to explained his fight and determination he has till now...God bless you..
Great one. Big fan of dada, after this comeback he never had to look back again. Real champ in life.
Very well narrated. Great job
Thanks for this one.
Make a video on how Ganguly became captain after the azaruddin fixing scandal
Yesss.. that's the topic..
Thanks for making this video he is the man India is now and coming generation.he took captaincy when Indian team is not having a proper leader and lead's India to a better spot
great comback from "DADA".....
thanks for the insights
Bravo, what a content
Boi you are making video on everything my dad told me about in 2000s xD i like it so much
I like making them too brother.
@@cricketraazenglish Please talk about Kohli's captaincy issue if you know
I can still remember, i was so much of a dada fan that at 1 point of time, i used to hope that since dada is not in the team, team should lose the match.
I felt shameful also for thinking like this but still I used to think this way. many times brain behaves strangely which is not good.
I have not seen a single match since Ganguly left. Maybe an over here or there for the ending- but no more.
I still remember those days when we were mocked in our college hostel tv room every time that ad was shown. And also I cannot forget the moment when he completed that fighting half century in the first innings. Dada fan for life…and thank you for making this video…!!!
Thank you for watching it brother🙏
Dada is a legend who bring emotion to cricket..such an inspiration. Thank you for teaching us to stand up and win against all odds.
Incredible stuff! My favourite cricketer!! A living legend. Love you Dada!! ❤️
This is soooo relatable to current situation of Kholi.
no ways
Thank yu ,its was well explained.

All the events and their sequence in this video are true and perfectly matched with factual checking.
Probably the best work from this channel so far
