"I saw he was writing something to the BCCI and I went and told Dada about it. I told him he is writing something to the BCCI and it's something serious," Sehwag added.

"It was near the washroom when I told Chappell about my upset stomach I saw him writing the email addressed to the BCCI. I did not get to see the content but I could reckon it was a very serious matter and informed Ganguly immediately," Sehwag added.
Chappell made sure Ganguly was dropped from the Indian team during that tour of Zimbabwe.
Apart from him, Sachin Tendulkar, Harbhajan Singh and Zaheer Khan were other players who spoke against Chappell over the years.
