Gerg Chappell

Controversies and Public Criticism

Throughout his career, Greg Chappell was involved in several controversies. One of the most notable incidents occurred during a One Day International in 1981 between Australia and New Zealand, when he instructed his brother Trevor Chappell to bowl underarm, a move that was legal at the time but widely condemned as unsportsmanlike. Greg later apologized for the decision amid significant public criticism.

During his tenure as India’s coach, Chappell had a well-publicized conflict with then-captain Sourav Ganguly. It was widely reported that their disagreements contributed to Ganguly's temporary exclusion from the national team, though official confirmations were limited. Further controversy arose following the publication of Chappell's autobiography, in which he made critical comments about Rahul Dravid and other players, renewing debate around his coaching methods and communication style.
