File Pic.[/caption] Internet Desk: They do not have the best of relationship in the past and that is not going to change either in the near future. Talking about former India cricketers Sourav Ganguly and Ravi Shastri, entire cricket world knows they do not get along well with each other. It was evident once again as Shastri took a did at Ganguly during the commentary for the ensuing test series between India and England at Vizag. Shastri took an indirect swipe at Ganguly while doing commentary during the first session of the third days play. The Mumbaikar while talking about the Md Shami described him as the ‘Sultan of Bengal’. On being asked by his co-commentator, former England all-rounder Sir Ian Botham, whether the term 'Prince of Bengal' was associated with only Ganguly, which led Shastri to say that there is much more to know about Bengal and that the beautiful state is not just limited to just one prince. The duo never had the best of relationships over the years. The former Team India Director accused Ganguly of being disrespectful towards him after Ganguly had skipped his interview for the post of team India coach. Ganguly along with Sachin Tendulkar and VVS Laxman compromised the Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) that was involved in the selection process of the Indian cricket team's new head coach. The Cricket Advisory Committee headed by Ganguly, somewhat surprisingly picked Anil Kumble for the post. Shastri accused Ganguly of being disrespectful towards him and his job. Sourav was quick enough to hit back at Shastri claiming that one should not be holidaying in Bangkok and give an interview over Skype for such an important position and that even a legend like Kumble had presented his stance for over three hours.
