Javagal Srinath reflects on Ganguly's famous toss delay incident

At an EEMAGINE event, Javagal Srinath recalled the famous 2001 toss incident where Sourav Ganguly made Steve Waugh wait. Srinath stated that had he been the match referee, he would have banned Ganguly for a few games due to perceived gamesmanship. While expressing his disapproval of the delay, Srinath praised Ganguly’s leadership and the transformation of Indian cricket post-match-fixing scandal. He discussed the team's strategy during the 2003 World Cup final against Australia, recounting his preference to bat first, but ultimately respecting the decision made by Ganguly.
