Kolkata: Former India opener Virender Sehwag has made a big disclosure on Sourav Ganguly and Greg Chappell controversy. Sehwag told during a book launch that during the 2005 Zimbabwe tour, he had first seen the then coach Chappell's email against Ganguly.

During the release of a book by Boria Majumdar, Sehwag said in the Fanatic Sports Museum, "Greg was writing his email and I was sitting next to him. I saw that he was writing something to the BCCI and I went to Dada and told about it I said that he is writing to the BCCI and this is a very serious matter. "

Greg Chappell was made the coach of India in May 2005 and one year later, during the tour of Zimbabwe, Sourav Ganguly was removed from the captaincy.

In Sachin Tendulkar's autobiography 'Playing It My Way', too, it has been written about Chappell, in which Harbhajan Singh has said, "Indian cricket has caused so much damage that it took at least three years to recover from it."

Zaheer Khan said about Chappell, "He had his own personal agenda."

Asked who was the most memorable moment for him as a cricketer? Sehwag said, "My first Test hundred." Sehwag scored 105 against South Africa in 2001.

Sehwag said, "When I used to play ODIs, people used to say that I can not play Test cricket, so when I first scored my hundred, I hugged Ganguly because they gave me a chance to play in Test cricket. Wanted."

He said on the question of being fed as an opener by Ganguly and coach John Wright, "I told him that Sachin has always started batting and Sourav has played in the form of an opener, only to bat in the middle But Sourav and John said that you have to sit out because this is the only place for you in the team.
