Well we always believes history repeat itself but whenever it repeat it either makes another chapter to be read in history or something nasty which no one wants to remember. The case of Virat, Dravid & BCCI saga is just another case wher people start remembering events happen 15 years back in Indian cricket. Many will question how things happening right now have something to do with what happen at that time. Well there are many things quite similar to what is happening right now or so. Let's rewind back to 2005 period time when Saurav was a powerful captain who have full support of BCCI regime at that time. As captain he took out team from fixing scandal,won a test match in England,first time in 15 years or so and most importantly under his leadership India reached final of 2003 WC final when nobody gave them chance of reaching even Semifinal. He groom in stature following that WC when India beat Australia at Adelaide in a test match, first time in 21 years or so an Indian team defeat Australia in Australia in a test match,well quite a big achievement for any captain at that time to do so against Australia & than a series win in Pakistan in OdI's alongwith test series stamp his authority as one of the greatest captain from India but after that team downfall started alongside his own poor return with bat which just hit rock bottom. India lose out to England not able to qualify in Semifinals for Champions Trophy & more importantly lose a test series against Australia at home. In third test at Nagpur of that series accusations were made against him that he make excuse of injury to not play just because he wasn't happy with the pitch. The team is losing series after series and then lose an OdI series against Pakistan 4-2 where they won first two game. Saurav own return with bat is very poor & than probably first time question over his form starts from a section of media and ex cricketers still no one looks like to challenge him but things going to change in next six months which no one predicated or expected. John Wright the head coach vacate his position and new applicants who were front runner are Greg Chapell & Tom Moddy. Moddy is preferred choice by selection committee consisting of Sunil Gavaskar & Kapil Dev alongside Anil Kumble & Rahul Dravid but Saurav used his veto and ask for Chapell(Chapell help him when India tour Australia and Saurav was quite impressed with his methods). Well what Saurav did wasn't wrong at all because after all it is captain who is responsible for teams performance and all blame puts on him if team falls so asking for a coach with whom he feels more comfortable isn't wrong in any way and so Greg Chapell became India's head coach. Chapell first assignment with India happen in Sri Lanka where they have to play a tri angular series with West Indies as third team. Unfortunately Saurav was banned by ICC for slow over rates for six matches and he wasn't selected in team for that and Dravid was hand over captaincy for that tour but later on Saurav's ban reduced to four matches and he later join team but Dravid remain captain of team. That was first time he has to play under someone else captaincy in 5 years and reports of him not happy with this emerges but that was just here and there and no one believes on that. Saurav with bat has very poor tournament he got just one fifty and as usual India lost to SL in final which is happening with team frequently and than came tour of Zimbabwe where things just fall apart and every rumours which came during tour of SL get stamped among cricket fans. It started with tri series where India yet again lost to NZ in final and Saurav personal form with bat just getting poorer and poorer. During test match against Zimbabwe Chapell in team meeting clearly mentioned to Saurav that he should leave captaincy and focus on his batting because he isn't in right space of mind. Saurav refused to do so and they both have nasty fight about that. Later they both verbally spat whom should play in playing eleven and who shouldn't. Later in that test match(Bulawayo) Saurav got a hundred and he came out in press conference where he told reporters that he was asked to be dropped from team by coach. It created a big news in media and team broking out starts coming out with each day. Than Chapell and Saurav both try to calm things down and even Chapell in press conference said that he just wants to guide Saurav and he miss understood these things and than both said that every thing is fine and under control. For 2-3 days everything looks normal but than BCCI president (Ranbir Singh) in an informal PC told to media persons that Chapell has E- mail him that how Saurav wants to dominate each and everything. That E-mail fall down like a bomb for cricket fans. Chapell mentioned in that E-mail that how Saurav struggling against quality fast bowlers and he is falling below standards in fitness and training standards that has been set by him to achieve better goals for team.He also wrote that Saurav wants to be treated with more favouratism. He even accuse that Saurav wants to create rift between him and players by citing example how falsely he told Laxman that Chapell wants him to drop from team which he didn't say or wants. That E-mail make one thing sure that only one of them going to remain in team after Zimbabwe tour and since Saurav is close to BCCI regime chance of Greg going back looks very high but than something unexpected happen in BCCI. Jagmohan Dalmiya's right hand Ranbir Singh lost election to Sharad Pawar and thus the era of Dalmiya in BCCI got over after a long time which eventually ends Saurav veto and more importantly he can't do much now. Sharad Pawar leaves the matter in hand of selectors and they agreed that Chapell should continue and unfortunately Saurav got elbow injury which ruled him out for ODI series at home against SL. Rahul Dravid appoint as captain of team and team defeated SL convincingly 6-1 at home. Saurav ultimately got dropped not only from ODI but from test side as well. He feel betrayed after getting dropped and his fans also not happy with this decision. The Indian team also not sprayed from this and they get one glimpse when India played at Eden Garden against SA where even Greame Smith fired shots by saying that his team feels like they are playing at home because of the response they are getting from crowd. Greg derogatory finger response towards crowds also added fuel in fire.Even pitch for that game had lot of grass which is quite unusual for Indian pitches. The players got lot of taunts and slogans were raised by crowd against them and when Dravid got bowled the whole stadium erupt in joy like Durga Pooja celebration has came up in stadium. Some media reports keep coming during that period where here and there team not happy with Chapell and how Saurav due to his equation with Chapell was kept out from team emerges. Than finally he got selected for Pakistan tour in test side and at that time Chapell also understood how media perception set narrative among persons. Ganguly played test series but not selected in OdI series which created lot of chaos among his fans but Chapell at that time was eager to change some perception and for this he approached a writer from ESPN. Pradeep Magazine in his books "Not just Cricket" mentioned about how Chapell told to write ESPN writer an article that players like Laxman,Sachin isn't fit for modern day cricket. When Pradeep talk to Dravid about this incidents he just said that he will think about it later but when series got over and India comprehensively defeat Pakistan 4-1 he just told Pradeep that if Kumble can be dropped from team than why someone else be given more leverage. Basically he was heavily influenced by Chapell's idea and probably got belief that to move in right direction some tough decision needs to be made. Later Saurav after six months made his comeback in test side and played some exceptional knocks in the series against SA. After that he return to ODI series against WI and team looks really good for WC in West Indies but in WC lightning strike hard to Indian cricket team as well as Indian fans. They lost to Bangladesh and knocked out from WC from group stage. Chapell has to resign and after that many news how poorly he handle players and create rifts among players start coming out through interviews as well as from auto biography written by players later.A section of Indian players(especially who came in team post 2003 WC) remain silent on this who might be impressed by his methods. These players include Suresh Raina, MS Dhoni, Irfan Pathan and even Yuvraj Singh who despite consider very close to Saurav didn't speaking any ill will against Chapell. The one who is in center of all this is Rahul Dravid but he just remain silent over all these issues but those articles and auto biography written by players later made one thing sure that Chapell will remember as villain who harm and did damage to Indian cricket but things in last one and half year has change a bit regarding that especially after Saurav took over as BCCI president post. Well what unfold in last two and half years will be talked later.
