The Chappell-Ganguly controversy is regarded as one of the biggest controversies in the history of cricket. Back in 2005, when BCCI appointed former Australian player Greg Chappell as the head coach of the Indian cricket team, the news of internal conflicts within the team started to catch the headlines. There were reports that Chappell called Ganguly mentally and physically unfit, accusing the player of desperately trying to retain captaincy.
It's 2025, and it looks like the former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly has the same amount of anger for Greg Chappell. However, this anger has resulted in a unique acting skill of the Bengal tiger. In a fresh promotional video for Netflix's web series 'Khakee: The Bengal Chapter', Sourav Ganguly has played the role of a cop who is taking down criminals with ease.
Netflix's latest web series, 'Khakee: The Bengal Chapter', promotional video has featured the former Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly. It is Dada's first acting debut where he has been seen playing the role of a cop. The video starts with the director explaining to Ganguly the role of an honest and aggressive policeman. As the director asks him to show anger, Ganguly starts to remember Greg Chappell and later gets filled with anger. Watch the video here:
After delivering an emotional performance, the director asked him to take down the on-screen villain. With a stick in hand, Ganguly brought cricket references and started hitting the villain with his premier cricketing shots, including the cover drive, cut and pull.
Khakee: The Bengal Chapter', the crime thriller series, is all set to be released on March 20 on the Netflix OTT platform. The web series' star cast features Jeet Madnani, Prosenjit Chatterjee, Parambrata Chatterjee, and Chitrangada Singh in the lead roles.
