October 13: Sourav Ganguly is dumped as captain of Team India
Forty-eight days and a few good performances in the domestic matches later, he is back in the Test team.
Not as the captain of the team he shaped, not even as a batsman, but a 'batting all-rounder' as Chairman of Selectors Kiran More put it.
As Ganguly returned to the side, all eyes were on how the equation between coach Greg Chappell and former captain will be.
Those waiting for a face off were disappointed, and how!
Ganguly was out there on the field and was even all ears to the coach at the net session.
But the question is will it ensure a place in the Test XI?
Wait till Friday.
