New Delhi: After hinting that Sachin Tendulkar was a sore loser, former Australian vice-captain Adam Gilchrist has taken a swipe at the then skipper Sourav Ganguly and off-spinner Harbhajan Singh, suggesting that the duo had chickened out of the 2004 Nagpur Test fearing a defeat on a grassy wicket. “When I got to the middle, Ganguly was not there. Dravid was in his blazer, ready for the toss,” Gilchrist wrote in his autobiography True Colours. “‘Where’s Sourav? I said.’ Rahul couldn’t answer definitively; between the lines I perceived that Sourav might have pulled out from fear of losing a home series,” said Gilchrist, who was the stand-in skipper in place of an injured Ricky Ponting. “Harbhajan was out of Nagpur Test with a ‘flu,’ which he seemed to have contracted when he saw the grassy wicket... I still don’t know to this day what was wrong with Ganguly and Harbhajan,” said Gilchrist. — PTI
