Team India in Dada's Den

January 23, 2007
India coach Greg Chappell supervises the team's nets amidst increased security in Cuttack on Tuesday.

The former Australia captain was slapped by a cricket supporter, named Biranchi Maharana, at the Bhubaneswar airport on Monday.

Chappell has had a bitter relationship with the crowds in the eastern part of India after his high-profile showdown with Sourav Ganguly.

After the Indian team was booed at the Eden Gardens against South Africa in November 2005, Chappell was caught on tape showing a finger to the Kolkata crowd while entering the team bus. The team management though later tried to diffuse the incident saying the coach was only hinting at a finger injury.
