One such instance was seen during the Champions Trophy 2002 final against Sri Lanka when Ganguly had a heated argument with Russel Arnold for repeatedly running on the pitch.
The Sri Lankan batsman too recalled the same episode on Twitter recently.
Reflecting on that incident, former Sri Lanka captain Kumar Sangakkara on Sunday (July 12) revealed that Ganguly came to the Sri Lankan dressing room after the game.
"I remember one very specific incident in a one-day match where he was having this big argument with Russel Arnold. I think Dada was on his final warning and the umpire reported him,” Sangakkara said on the Cricket Connected Show on Star Sports.
"Dada came to our dressing room and had a chat to us that if this goes the whole distance, he was going to get suspended. And we told him not to worry and that we were not going to make a big deal about it and he was going to be okay."
Speaking further about Ganguly, Sangakkara said he got to know the current BCCI President a lot better with time.
"I did get to know Dada quite well over the years and I really enjoyed speaking to Dada on everything, whether it was about playing cricket or captaincy. I got to know Dada a lot more intimately," Sangakkara said.
"Dada was a very practical man. He understood exactly what he could and how far he could push it on the field. But off the field, he is a fantastic guy. I have had a great time in conversations with him at various times over meals and he was a guy I really respected both on and off the field."
