Sourav Ganguly's Toss Prank on Ricky Ponting

Sourav Ganguly, a prominent figure in Indian cricket, is remembered for his impactful leadership and memorable moments throughout his career. One such incident, shared by former Australian captain Michael Clarke, highlights a humorous exchange between Ganguly and Ricky Ponting during a toss in India.

According to Clarke, while Ponting was flipping the coin, Ganguly unexpectedly called out 'Head-Tail', leaving Ponting momentarily confused. By the time Ponting realized what had happened, the coin had already landed, and Ganguly declared that they would bat, walking away with the decision. The exact match during which this occurred remains unclear, as Clarke does not recall the details.

Historically, Ganguly won five tosses against Ponting, all outside India, including two during the 2003 World Cup. This anecdote adds to the light-hearted rivalry between the two cricketing legends.
