Former India captain and current BCCI President Sourav Ganguly has garnered attention on social media yet again, this time for an unexpected yet deleted tweet on Teacher's Day.
Ganguly decided to pay tribute to his coaches on the occasion of Teacher's Day on Monday (September 5), but it was full of errors, as he mentioned Greg Chappell also, which led to him deleting the tweet and reposting the correct one.
However, the erroneous post went viral on social media.
It has to be noted that Chappell who coached the Indian team from 2004-2007 had a famous fallout with Sourav Ganguly in 2005, which led to the batter losing his captaincy and spot in the team as well.
In his original tweet, Ganguly had written: "Major missing Debo Mitra, John Wright, Gary Kirsten and my favorite one, Greg. Happy Teacher's Day".
Soon after realizing the error, the post was deleted and a new edited tweet was posted which read: “Major missing Debo Mitra, John Wright, my favorite one, Gary Kirsten and Greg. Happy Teachers' Day! There are few moments in life that make you relive your past, here's to my failures & bouncing back.”
However, fans were quick to notice the error on Twitter and had a field time posting memes and making fun of Ganguly for mentioning Chappell as his favorite coach in his previous tweet.
Here are a few reactions –
