GANGULY-DRAVID PARTNERSHIP

During their prime, Ganguly and Dravid were considered to be greats. The two have been part of many famous Indian wins. Ganguly and Dravid also stitched a memorable 318-run stand for the second wicket in the 1999 World Cup against Sri Lanka. This stand set a record for the highest partnership in ODIs at the time. However, their relationship got strained after the entry of then India coach Greg Chappell as Ganguly was stripped of captaincy and was dropped from the side. Despite all that was happening around them, Dravid never criticised Ganguly during that time. And after retiring from the sport, both have always spoken good things about each other. 

It would now be interesting to see the camaraderie between the two legends when their respective teams face-off during the next season of the Indian Premier League.
