New Delhi, July 4: Former Kolkata Knight Riders coach John Buchanans troubled relationship with skipper Sourav Ganguly in the initial years of the Indian Premier League is no secret. But former opener Aakash Chopra has revealed that it wasnt bad to start with and things went downhill since 2009.

"In the first year of IPL, there was John Buchanan, Ricky Ponting was also there. Sourav Ganguly was the captain. I have seen this from close quarters – their relationship was alright to begin with, but it worsened," Chopra said on his YouTube channel.
