#1. Yuvi’s epic prank on Ganguly
In the year 2005, Yuvraj Singh along with few other young players decided to play a prank on captain Sourav Ganguly. Here is what happened.
Dada entered the dressing room to have a team talk before the match as it was a common thing that happens before every match. As he entered, the prankster Yuvraj Singh came up with a fake newspaper which had some fake comments made by Dada against the young players.
As Dada was still unable to find out what is happening, Virender Sehwag and Harbhajan Singh has also joined as they gave a sheet of paper to team manager and Dada.
“We arranged a printout of an imaginary interview of Sourav, where he’d been critical of his players. When that was shown to him, he pleaded he had not given any such interview.” recalls prank mastermind Yuvraj Singh.
“I almost had tears in my eyes,” recalled the former skipper. “These were the same players I had always fought for. I didn’t know why they were suddenly saying all these things,” he added.
“Dada picked up a bat and chased all of us out of the dressing room,” said Yuvraj, unable to control his laughter.
“I was more relieved than embarrassed,” Ganguly said, years later. After the incident, he was given another sheet of paper signed by all the players. He could barely find the courage to read, but when he did, it warmed his heart. It simply read: “Dada, we all love you.”
