The revelation surprised many because Ganguly and Chappell shared a strained relationship during Chappell's tenure as India head coach in the mid-2000s. Their public fallout remains one of Indian cricket's biggest controversies. The left-handed batter tried hard to get back into the XI after Rahul Dravid took charge.
"He (Chappell) had emailed me in 2011, when I was KKR captain. I was checking my mail one morning at my England home. I saw his mail and thought, 'Am I still sleeping?'. Then I checked it properly, checked the name and checked the ID, because a lot of fake mails come."
Chappell's tenure as India head coach ended after the team's disappointing exit from the 2007 ICC Cricket World Cup. India failed to progress beyond the group stage.

Ganguly also had a difficult relationship with Australian coach John Buchanan, who removed him as Kolkata Knight Riders captain in 2009. Kolkata Knight Riders released Ganguly before the 2011 IPL auction. The franchise later appointed Gautam Gambhir as captain.
Recent reports suggest the former India captain could return to the IPL in a management role. Delhi Capitals have reportedly approached Ganguly to become the franchise's Head of Cricket ahead of IPL 2027.
Ganguly previously worked with the franchise as Director of Cricket for JSW Sports. While there has been no official announcement, reports suggest he could return to a leadership role before the next IPL season.
