At the book launch of Sachin Tendulkar's  autobiography, Playing it My Way, the legendary batting quartet of the Indian cricket team - Sourav Ganguly, Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman, along with the master blaster - shared the stage together. 

Host Harsha Bhogle brought up the controversial decision taken by Dravid at the Multan Test back in 2004, when he declared the innings when Tendulkar was at 194. Sachin had at that time publicly expressed his dismay and disappointment at Dravid declaring the innings at that crucial juncture. On being probed about the incident, Dravid said that the most important moment of that Multan Test (when he declared the Indian innings with Tendulkar on 194) was him throwing the ball to Sachin in the final over and the master blaster getting the wicket of Moin Khan.

Dravid said that the good thing was the team left the ground as a team and Sachin all beaming after taking the wicket. According to Dravid, Sachin again showed that the team mattered most to him. Sachin said that there were disagreements happened many times, but they were always resolved soon behind closed doors.

On another topic, Sourav Ganguly said there were disagreements sometimes about who will open the innings specially during the 2003 World Cup, but finally the best option was taken for the interest of the team. Sachin always wanted to open in ODIs and mostly had his way.
