However, all the rumours were laid to rest as the BCCI secretary Jay Shah made it clear that Sourav Ganguly is not resigning from his post.

There were few who were of the opinion that this tweet is a marketing gimmick and soon they were proved correct as Sourav Ganguly supported an ed-tech startup which would enable educators and skill-based content creators.

Sourav Ganguly made a post with the caption, “Share my new initiative with all the educators, teachers, and coaches and give me an opportunity to help them grow. Link in bio. I am thankful to ClassplusApps for helping me with this.”

His post read, “I have been getting a lot of questions about my previous post. For a while, I have been thinking about one group of people that has been helping our society selflessly and making India greater every day. IPL gave us amazing players but what inspires me, even more, is the amount of sweat and blood the coaches of all these players put in for their success. This is not just true for Cricket but all other fields like Academics, Football, Music, etc as well. I am fortunate to get all the coaches who made me what I am today.”

His post further read, “For ages, we have been glorifying actors, players and successful CEOs for the remarkable work they have done. It is time that we glorify the true heroes, their COACHES and EDUCATORS. I want to do something for all the coaches, educators and teachers across the world. Starting today, I will actively support all of them by being their ambassador. I am thankful to Classplus for helping me with my vision. I hope this new initiative helps them all. #DadaSupports Sourav Ganguly”
