Ganguly Says He Asked Tendulkar, Dravid and Kumble About Match-Fixing Approaches

The remarks offer a retrospective on trust restored through results following the fixing scandal.

Overview

  • Ganguly, speaking on Raj Shamani’s podcast Friday, said he checked with Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid and Anil Kumble about any approaches to fix matches.
  • He said all three denied being approached, and he added that no one had tried to contact him about fixing either.
  • Coverage presents the interview as a look back on a troubled era rather than new evidence or fresh claims.
  • Reports recall that the scandal led to a lifetime ban for Mohammad Azharuddin and a five-year suspension for Ajay Jadeja.
  • Ganguly said early results under his captaincy, including stronger overseas form, the NatWest Trophy and a first Test series win in Pakistan, helped rebuild shaken fan confidence.
