'A little bit shocked': Sourav Ganguly

During an interview with a news channel, Ganguly said he was a little disappointed because he was not scoring runs and as he entered the dressing room, the team members got together led by Sachin Tendulkar and Harbhajan Singh were saying that they are very disappointed with what  Dada had said about the team in the media.

Recollecting that incident, a stunned Sourav asked what he had said and also admitted that he used to be sensitive during those days. Sachin and Bhajji then mentioned there were reports in the newspapers that the ex-skipper was not happy with the way the team has played.

A disappointed Ganguly then told the two if they felt and got upset about the team not playing well, then in that case he has done something wrong, then he is ready to resign on the spot and let someone else take over the captaincy after which he went and sat on his chair. In what then turned out to be an embarrassing moment, the current BCCI President saw everybody jumping with laughter in a couple of minutes and at the same time, he was also really upset as well as a bit shocked after what he had just heard from the team and the suspense was finally broken when Harbhajan jumped up and said 'April Fool'.
