Chappell, in an online chat, said that in a match against Sri Lanka, he had asked MS Dhoni to play along the ground, to see if he could finish the match without taking unnecessary risks.

He was playing different games," Harbhajan tweeted.

"Now we talked about the fact that if he (Dhoni) could learn to hit the ball along the ground as well...even though he was good at hitting boundaries, it was still a high-risk way of playing. If he could take some of that risk out of it, he could become one of the best finishers in world cricket," Chappell had said on an online chat with the PlayWrite Foundation.
"Somehow, you've got to find the thrill in being the best finisher rather than one of the best hitters of boundaries and maybe be remembered for some exciting innings, because you could become the best finisher the game has ever seen," he had said.
Greg Chappell's stint as the head coach of India was a turbulent one, ending after India's unceremonious first round exit in the 2007 World Cup.
Several players had let their displeasure be known during his time as coach, with Chappell often chopping and changing the team and trying some radical tactics that did not work out.
